That was fast guys! Been waiting for this music video to come out couple of months now. Mainly due to because I was fortunate enough to be part of the crowd. It was a very fun few hours and a first one for me to be part of a music video. Fun fact: the band members were also diving from the stage into the crowd.
The day that this song came out, I had just gotten home after a 10-shift that started pre-dawn on next to no sleep. I had gotten in bed, all set to take a nap...and then I looked my phone one last time before passing out, saw the YT notification that Bodom had just released a new video single...and literally jumped out of bed and over to the MacBook so I could witness it all firsthand. And ever since that day a few weeks ago, I've literally been musically addicted to this song ever since. It's different, yes...but it's AWESOME and has such a catchy feel to it. As you both have stated, the Alexi/Janne synchronized harmonies are BACK, and they sound absolutely wonderful. No, it's not Hatebreeder reincarnate, but it doesn't need to be, because this track stands on it's own as being just one hell of a damn good song, period. Personally, I love it, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the upcoming Hexed album holds. Though I will say this in conclusion. I didn't (yet) go for the package option that included the reaper...but I sure as hell already spent some money on one of the 300 (or 500) limited edition numbered splatter vinyl's they they and Nuclear Blast have offered since this video's release. The whole "shut up and take my money" ideal couldn't have taken place sooner lol.
I saw them live at a festival, there were so many crowdsurfers, multiple moshpits and a giant circle pit. At one point during Downfall, there was a crowdsurfer, and the solo started so everyone wanted to see that. He was close to the security but someone yeeted that dude to the security they both fell and it was hella funny
Me and my wife went to the shooting of this video back in September! It was fuckin awesome and fun! Still haven't spotted ourselves from the video, though. :)
It sounds alot like Follow the Reaper, which i like! There is something though, it seems to lack energy. But! Singles are supposed to be more accessible, so let's hope the rest of the album packs more of a punch! I still love hearing those trademark guitar-keyboard harmonies again though, almost brings a tear to my eye.
I hate to be that guy, but I'm just being honest: for me personally (personally! ;)) that song is ok, but it's not blowing my mind. I loved and still love the Bodom era until Hate Crew Deathroll (still liked Are You Dead Yet though) but the new stuff is not really clicking. I think it sounds better than the last album. But let's see for the whole thing, I don't want to judge on the first single ;)
I couldn't agree more. To me, Hatecrew was the last great album they did. At least this song isn't terrible, but id like to hear the whole album before i totally decide to hate it.
@@frankyloopy More like a watered down Hate Crew song. I am with most here saying that after HCDR this band just sort of went from "great" to "meh" or "ok". Ever since they abandoned their darker and/or neoclassical stylings they just haven't had the same oomf as they once did.
Can you react to the band Munarheim? It is a german Symphonic Folk Black Metal band and they sound incredible. I would suggest you listen to the song 'Sehnsucht'.
Better than I expected, got some Omnium Gatherum vibes from it. Never really been a fan of CoB but at least this seems to be better than the last album.
I would recommend you start doing Starting Strength program with him. If i could turn back time, not doing gym is one biggest things i regret now that i started going to gym as 30 years old boomer.
i might have suggested this band once before but man! dudes! you must check out a band called forefather from england... they play a style they call anglo saxon metal.. and it's some of the most beautiful epic guitar melodies you'll ever hear don't think they have any offical video's out unfortunately... they have been around for awhile but are still kinda underground.. but albeit a very under rated band check out these songs... my favorites i suggest to you Master of fate link: ua-cam.com/video/WTPUTOkws-Y/v-deo.html that one i would say sums up their sound the best... The Anvil: ua-cam.com/video/oOnoIr5LHmc/v-deo.html pure battle metal groove! Strongbow's Death: ua-cam.com/video/Kvqqrh4EXm4/v-deo.html oil your swords and ready your shields! hope you guys see the message and discover this awesome band... i know you guys will enjoy! yes i am attacking on all sides...... remember you guys saying pestering as worked once before so, so eh fuck it worth a try hee hee
@@APREACTS awesome! Always happy to meet bodom fans. I saw them in 2005 during the are you dead yet era, and its still my favorite show ive ever seen. And they drank a bottle of Jack on stage during the show lol.
Sadly Children of Bodom after HCDR sounds just like any other band. Nothing special, just same old boring USA orientated riffs. Shame because the 3 first albums ( HCDR still a good album though) are great. Matter of opinion ofcourse, but I just miss the neoclassical style, that is what made Bodom sound unique.
Nothing special, nothing new and definitely not a good indicator for the new album. If the first single is that weak, I have no hope für the upcoming album. Just CoB covering CoB.
Pelle Thiedemann Although I dont like this song, it gives me hope for the album. The songwriting and energy is lacking in the song, but the instrumentation itself very much so reminds me of HCDR. I just hope they can match the song writing to the instrumentation on the rest of the album, if not Im gonna be very disappointed.

"I buy all my music...with your money."🎶💵😂
Oh man...can't wait for the album if rest of the album is this good 🤘 I btw, live quite near the Lake Bodom
We will be visiting the lake next summer, is a must.
Pia Lindqvist I lived about 5 km from Bodom for 30 years and swam there many times. Terkut Lohjalta 🤘🏻

Children of Bodom brings so many memories it got me into metal and guitar playing :)
Hell yeah, I've waited so long for a new song from CoB and it actually is really good. I love it!
I like the song. It’s an easy listen with great guitars and keyboard melodies. Can’t wait to get wasted and mosh it up on Cob’s next tour.

I liked the new song. Reminded me of some old material :) The verses sound like Needled 24/7 though
You guys look so happy when listening!

Gave thumb up before even watched your video. And just because you reacted this so fast

Antonio is not feeling it as well, to him it is ok. I like it, I am not blown away but I like it.
Same, maybe my expectations was too hight
I couldn't agree more. To me, Hatecrew was the last great album they did. At least this song isn't terrible, but id like to hear the whole album before i totally decide to hate it.
i think its sound pretty much like de ''hate crew'' area. not that good, but pretty close to the sound

I love the song! Already heard it 3 times today.

Great review guys! Love the new single!
My balls dropped when Antonio said "Hey guys!"
VARG! About time for that 2nd video
Better than I expected, got some Omnium Gatherum vibes from it. Never really been a fan of CoB but at least this seems to be better than the last album.
The intro is coming to an anime near you. If you're lucky, a good one.
I guess any teen can't wait to be of age but Anton must be wait turning 19 like no other teen in Canada to join his dad on all those gigs.
❤❤DREAM THEATER - A RITE OF PASSAGE❤❤
I would recommend you start doing Starting Strength program with him. If i could turn back time, not doing gym is one biggest things i regret now that i started going to gym as 30 years old boomer.

Great idea
Maybe new guitar player suggested to make some old school COB music, sounds like Follow the reaper style
React to Bad Omen's Careful What You Wish For....
Hey guys, check out Jungle Rot, very underated band; think you guys will like them.
You could pre-order and make Give a away for the album when you review it :)
Hammerfall - Hector 's hymn
....please!!!!
You guys should check out Sealed in Fate by Orpheus Omega.
Dee Snider just released a new video as well, For The Love Of Metal. It's not too shabby.
Not a huge fan of the record
A&P-REACTS In that case Arch Enemy - Reason To Believe dropped today as well.
Yeah, that one is blocked by their label
A&P-REACTS That sucks, it's a decent tune.
You are funny old man! Your lips going to tööt tööt when you are excited! \**/,
Yes,but this is one of their best songs.. One of those dozens and dozens best songs.
Greetings from Argentina. I recommend that you react to Rata Blanca -" La leyenda del hada y el mago"
AGUANTE!
En Nombre De Dios mejor
Personalmente, me gustaría que reaccionen a La Llave de la Puerta Secreta
Gyze - Northern Hell Song
Japanese CoB! :D
Yay!
GROWING
Oh shit Bodom
The main melody brings Van Halen to mind. Otherwise, it's a standard CoB song.
Please do Marius Danielsen, his new album is awesome, Michael Kiske, Blaze Bailey, etc,
Anyone else getting modern InFlames vibes from this new song?
Nice T shirt where you bought this t shirt from sabaton
React Whitemour - Malefica or Blackheart Deathride
React to Himsa- Big Timber

@@APREACTS awesome! Always happy to meet bodom fans. I saw them in 2005 during the are you dead yet era, and its still my favorite show ive ever seen. And they drank a bottle of Jack on stage during the show lol.
Nice Drummer right?
HELL
Well children of bodom is no more.
THE
WHY
I like CoB but I miss their old music. It will never be that good! I feel like they repeat their sound too much these days.
ARE
Also the song did nothing to me. Meh.

James Lee yes sir anything you say sir. Dickhead!
