Well that's because it's "inspired" by Dissection... I mean I don't mind at all that it sounds so similar, I love it, but they did practically use the same riff which explains the black metal quality.
This album will always be special to me, since the first time I got to see CoB live was when this album dropped and I got it at one of their shows. What makes it better was I got the album signed by the whole band and got to shake Alexi Laiho's hand. Never going to forget that. Rest in Peace Wildchild, the metal scene and the world misses you. COBHC will never go away! \m/
It's nothing groundbreaking, but it goes back to their roots, which is what every pre-RRF Bodom fan has been asking for. Listening to this album and seeing that they finally prioritized their longtime fans in front of their wallets made me incredibly happy. Here's to another 20 years of Bodom.
some Dissection fans talk shit about Alexi for using riffs that are clearly influenced by dissection. But Alexi has once stated that Jon was one of his biggest idols and that he does it to pay tribute. It's something he always did and it's not just Dissection he draws from. In Bodom After Midnight he took the melody from the soundtrack to "The Rock" and in Red Light In My Eyes Pt. 2 he took one from Mozart. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and it's not like the rest of these songs isn't just as good as the part he didn't invent himself
@@AgeofJP Because they're popular and "too mainstream" and kvlt edgelords had bands drawing from that, even if they are humble and decent enough to openly admit it. I'd say the Dissection and Amorphis influences on COB are really obvious, and I love that, and they've been open about it, having done covers of both. In terms of overall style though their merging of those influences with power metal, virtuoso guitar on par with Malmsteen etc is different. I am glad that they really went back to these atmospheric and black metal roots on their final albums, a great return to form (I am not so keen on Blooddrunk)
Message to COB:- Please come back and be awesome again. This fan right here loves COB and Alexi so much that she puts your photos in all of her social media. I am a proof that a lot of people look up to you. So, please don't fade away.
I don't understand why people are always so butthurt about COB, their music can't stay the same forever. No band can do that and make good songs. well... maybe amon amarth, but their sound just tastes like wood after the last 10 albums that have sounded exactly the same. Also every band that grows in skill is bound to change their style too. It happens. after years of playing guitar i find myself playing in a very different and diverse style than a few years ago. Yeah, not all like it, but stop hating COB because "everyone else is doing it"
You are so right, this is what I love of them, they're never ripetitive, so when you listen to children of bodom you'll never listen to the same stuff again and again like many bands ;)
I must say, after being hugely disappointed with just about everything that came after Hate Crew Deathroll, this is a HUGE step in the right direction. I hope theie new album will bring back past glories the way this one tried to.
Yeah! That's it! I kept wondering exactly which BM riff and style this reminded of, and Dissection's "Storm of the light's bane" is spot on. Musically a great album to rip off if you ask me.
I so love this song!!... It's the most epic song I've ever heard of COB yet! Can't wait to have the album!!!... Until then listen to this over and over again. and I already kinda figure's out some lyrics: "Halo of blood. Change by chance we ride. Take this pain, make me light...Children of the night. Always be alight. There by here I say..Halo of blood"
I like it! It has a something wild vibe to it. I'm not to picky on what Bodom release nowadays. They've had so many amazing albums so I don't mind if they change it up a little.
Have you heard "In the Shadows" from first album. I´ts even closer to that. It´s one of my faves. Most underrated Bodom song ever by both listeners, and band itself.
Been Listeing to all types of metal for well over 10 years been to 7 Download Festivals & loads of gigs I see people with children of Bodom shirts on & I can't beleive this is the 1st time I've sat & listened to them there great cant beleive it's took me so long to listen to them
Hey actually this song is pretty cool. It's a fresh sound and has some of that old Bodom energy to it. I love the black metal influences. Why i believe most people dislike the new bodom is because IT IS the same formula. The song structure that took hold on Hatecrew Death Roll literally hasn't changed since then. Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Guitar Solo, Keyboard Solo, Chorus. People praise the old material because not only was it better, but it was more interesting.
no no no no no dude death metal is just death metal. the nearest type is thrash, but lyrics are not the same, music is more dissonant, more extreme, and in death there is a "dark dimension" that thrash hasn't. power metal is a bit like softer thrash and it doesn't really looks like death and dude, neo metal will NEVER ever have something to do with death metal.
The Blastbeat drums on intro sounds much like Dimmu Borgir in the late 90's. Album is recorded and mixed by Mikko Karmila, makes me wait alot. He has also recorded/mixed albums for bands like Nightwish, Sentenced, , Sonata Arctica, Amorphis, Tarot and Kotiteollisuus. And i think he has much better touch and ear for this kind of job than any other in this business...waiting alot!
Huh. Haven't been keeping up with Bodom much lately. First time hearing this song/album. They are starting to meld into that stereotypical metal of banging away at power cords or some quasi melody that I've heard regurgitated time and time again. Alexi's solos are even getting redundant. I understand that there's only so many combinations of scales and arpeggios that one person could mash up into face-melting sweeps, but why did they go this route? Why are they becoming another generic metal band? I really hate to see that happen to such god-like musicians. Understand that I have been listening to them since the formation of Children of Bodom. I greatly enjoy Inearthed, but the quality is a little too... raw, for my tastes. The album Something Wild is a perfect representation of the quality of music this band used to produce, along with Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper. After Blooddrunk I stopped paying much attention to them, but I would still listen to their new albums, give em a shot and what not, but it just wasn't ever the same. I'm not the only one who has noticed either, but they really have lost their sound. There are many people who call them sellouts, but please don't get me confused with those mongoloids. Everyone has something they are good at, Bodom is good at making epic fucking metal so why the hell not make money doing something you're good at and love. With that said, I still have to say that my biggest problem with Bodom is the fact that I'm afraid of them slipping into that inescapable void of generic, shitty, and uncreative metal like Norther or god forbid Arch Enemy. Nothing about this post is, in any way, bashing this band, I'm simply an old fan who is very concerned about the direction that Bodom is going. When I bought Blooddrunk I was one of those people who said "It's ok, it's still a similar sound, they just missed the mark with this one and will tighten it up next time", but a couple albums later and still delving deeper into that pit of bland noise is seriously concerning me. Hell, when they first gained recognition for their talent and started making a name for themselves, their fans were an older crowd (late 20s early 30s for the most part), but even in the '06 Chaos Ridden Years show, if you were to put Bodom's fans in with Bullet for My Valentine's fans you couldn't tell any difference; and if any of you are about to tell me that they are the same type of band, feel free to fashion any type of rapestick you'd like and go fuck yourself with it. I dunno. I just wish they'd go back to sounding how they did during their first few albums. That is all. tl;dr It's just a drunken rant, don't waste your time.
I actually agree with you. Blooddrunk was the album which broke it for me as well. I feel like they reached their peak with follow the reaper, the ones after that were still good though, just not as good, but blooddrunk simply just didn't feel nowhere near as good and interesting. :(
i remember hearing the leak of this song from some finnish radio show, downloaded it right away and started learning from ear haha. Great times R.I.P legend
I really like the track, awesome drums, insane guitars and the vocals are brilliant :) ofc, its not like the old songs, but imo that doesn't matter CoB still is one of the most awesome metal bands, and the reason i started listening metal
Bands grow and develop, you can't expect 'em not to. Thank god someone's got the guts to explore new musical lands. The old pathways were great, and we won't forget them. But we've all walked them before and maybe now we're ready for something new.
I deeply belive that they main song of their album halo of blood (self named) could be something better than what i just listened. Despite that fact, i think that every fan has to accept the changes of their band, maybe the whole album will be very good!
You are so right, can't believe these guys complaining. I guess they haven't really listened to the old stuff COB have. Recent albums were enough of that melodic death for a while, this going back to their roots sounds great.
No dude, I'm not saying that it's a fan problem! You may have right in somethings you said, but he is a great musician, he wrote excelent songs, and now wrote a kickass album! Just my opinion!
one thing I can say, its amazing how do you have so committed metal culture in Greece !! sometimes I saw more metalheads in Athens than I've seen on the streets of Helsinki :D ! Stay metal bros !
Silent Night, Bodom Night is another fast song. That's really what they're missing. Nowadays they all fall in the tempo of AYDY, with that same drumbeat and identical riffing style. They still make great riffs and Alexi's wailing some badass solos once again. They each showcase their talents very well, they've just fallen under using that same tempo over and over.
Usually, some bands lean towards milder musical styles over the years. Compared to other albums, last COB's album was pretty much in that line, but now this song proves the upcoming album will depart from that trend. This is the blackest I've ever heard COB. And that is great news!
I am from Finland, I have born here and my whole bloodline all the way from the days people started use Finnish language is from here 100%. So i can tell you that you are right.
For sure dude Hanneman is a huge influence ever, for every guitarrist. But I meant Jeff Watters, he played is this album right ?some solo .. and Alexi recorded something in the past with annihilator, there are many pics of them on internet..But check the song from Annihilator, fun palace, remenber me some parts. All of them, Hanneman, Alexi, Waters they are amazing guitarrists.. Wainting for the new COB CD ! and TOUR ! Come to Brazil !
Why does it feel like everything to do with metal these days has hateful comments? It's not about the genre or what the band looks like. It's about the music and the passion. I don't care if you listen to Trivium, Slipknot, Amon Amarth, or even Asking Alexandria. As long as you listen to any extent of hardcore music and don't act ignorant, then I think you're a metalhead.
However you guys discuss wether COB 'imitates' a genre or not. This song is a bomb! It blows my mind. It's super that metal bands keep looking for ways to be original. If every band would keep it's genre wich it's played for years, these bands wouldn't exist long. Every band has ever looked for something different, just to be new. And that's what metal is about! A metal ballad from Hammerfall is nice, a doom metal song from COB (or is it just the instrumental part?) can be catchy! I just love it
I love the way keyboard and vocals fits so good on the chorus, it's a super-heavy and black song, Children of Bodom done a very good job on this one, it changes a lot of the other albums, it remind me a little bit Hatebreeder with the power of Hatecrew Deathroll !
![Lp. Сердце Вселенной #60 РОЖДЕНИЕ ЛОЛОЛОШКИ [Финал] • Майнкрафт](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YoR0pAV9FVQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Rest in power Alexi. You were the best!
This has to be their most underrated album. It's not their best, but it seriously deserves a lot more love.
The best since Hate Crew Deathroll for sure!
This album is one of my favs. Top 3 for sure
It has a lot of gems on it! This track, transference, bodom blue moon, damaged beyond repair, all twisted, hell...even sleeping in my car was great
hatebreeder and this are my absolute favorite
I agree. This one really has a kick to it. I love it.
very black-metal influenced, i really like it
very Something Wild influenced
Dissection vibes guys...
@@Wildchild4ever Retribution - Storm of the Lights Bane
@@Wildchild4ever based
Almost to the point of plagiarism.... Not complaining but Retribution - Storm of the Light's Bane, wink wink
Start of the song sounds like true black metal, interesting and awesome ofc.
Well that's because it's "inspired" by Dissection... I mean I don't mind at all that it sounds so similar, I love it, but they did practically use the same riff which explains the black metal quality.
Retribution - Storm of the lights bane
Most definitely Dissection inspired without a doubt

This is far more brutal and less melodic than old Bodom. Both are awesome
@@brandonharris9160 tyis is almoust plagiate from this dissection Retribution - Storm of the Light's Bane
This song take me back to the COB good times from Hatebreeder.
something wild and hatereeder !
Cob always have the coolest riffs.
Since Dissection is dead, I appreciate it that someone "continues" that music style \m/
Thulcandra
start of the song is like Retribution - Storm of the lights bane from Dissection
I need to listen to more of this in general. I overlooked COB for the longest time, now I love it!
I like this track. So death metalilck. Miss you Alexi. Rest in peace. You were awesome
retributions/storm of the light´s bane

Amon amarth is boring:/
Yep :D i find most brutal deathmetal stuff pretty boring. Cob is always fresh to listen to
Amazing, COB has the best riffs ever.
riff reminds me of dimmu borgirs riff from master of disharmony on Enthrone Darkness Triumphant album. other than that great song.
MAASTER OOF DEAAATH!
those blast beats !
those riffs for me are Black Metal. \m/,
nah, i do not hear "satan this, satan that" on the song, seems pretty non-black metal-ish to me :p
hqrte loolol The first riff is pretty trademark tremolo black metal
GuitarGodsUnite it was a joke -.-
It's not at all satanic!!!
I must say, after being hugely disappointed with just about everything that came after Hate Crew Deathroll, this is a HUGE step in the right direction. I hope theie new album will bring back past glories the way this one tried to.
It sounds more black metal than most Bodom.. and I fucking love it! This album is going to slay, and so is Mayhem fest this year.
Nevermind. Ive never heard of Dissection before. I'm digging it right now on UA-cam. Thanks for turning me on to this!
Halo Of Blood tour hits Thessaloniki tonight and my hometown Athens tomorrow! FUCK YEAH And what a song man!! Brings back the Hatebreeder days :D
Yeah! That's it! I kept wondering exactly which BM riff and style this reminded of, and Dissection's "Storm of the light's bane" is spot on.
Musically a great album to rip off if you ask me.
Are you dead yet is my favorite Bodom album but this album comes in a close second
I so love this song!!... It's the most epic song I've ever heard of COB yet! Can't wait to have the album!!!... Until then listen to this over and over again. and I already kinda figure's out some lyrics: "Halo of blood. Change by chance we ride. Take this pain, make me light...Children of the night. Always be alight. There by here I say..Halo of blood"
R.I.P Alexi
The intro is reminding me of Dissection big time! Great song
00:59 "boy george avoid the river"
01:28 "Shut up the guys"
I like it! It has a something wild vibe to it. I'm not to picky on what Bodom release nowadays. They've had so many amazing albums so I don't mind if they change it up a little.
This is real music, love this!! The repeat button is getting hot here:))
ROCK ON, FROM GIRL IN NORWAY
I fail to see how one of the biggest names in not only Finnish music but melodeath in general is underrated.
This is the only Children of Bodom song I've heard that actually sounds anything like black metal.
se escucha muy al estilo dissection muy buen tema buena ejecución buena letra.
Have you heard "In the Shadows" from first album. I´ts even closer to that. It´s one of my faves. Most underrated Bodom song ever by both listeners, and band itself.
Eh, I think this song is more black metal, that song is more like power metal with some black metal elements.
Yes, it does, after the death metal and black metal parts in the intro it's basically just power metal with screaming and some thrashy bits.
And nothing ever will, just the old tracks will keep that memory alive!
its like black horizons from dissection but its sounds good too!
Been Listeing to all types of metal for well over 10 years been to 7 Download Festivals & loads of gigs I see people with children of Bodom shirts on & I can't beleive this is the 1st time I've sat & listened to them there great cant beleive it's took me so long to listen to them
Doesn't wow me, they have done better. I like it, but I really wish they would do something mind blowing again. Metal just feels stagnant these days.
Ah I still remember my first and last show of COB in November 2013 Halo of Blood over Europe tour hell yeah kiitos Laiho rest easy my hero 😇🤘😎🤘🖤
I still prefer theur older stuff
Me too my favorites are Hatebreeder and Follow The Reaper
Alex Osheter yesyesyes! Living dead beat is one of my favorite songs from them.
Yeah Definite Dissectionisms, that makes it a lot more interesting though IMO
Amazing ! Those black/death influences are just awesome
I just saw these guys in LA yesterday was fucking brutal when this song kicked off \m/ i fucking love you COB!
man i havent listened to Bodom since blood drunk came out in my sophomore year of high school. good to know they're still putting out kick ass tunes!
1:21 is that a misfits shirt XD
Naruto5tails yeah ^^

so Children of Bodom went black? good
no no no guys it's melodic death metal and that's all.
no no no no no dude death metal is just death metal. the nearest type is thrash, but lyrics are not the same, music is more dissonant, more extreme, and in death there is a "dark dimension" that thrash hasn't. power metal is a bit like softer thrash and it doesn't really looks like death and dude, neo metal will NEVER ever have something to do with death metal.
google is not the better thing for that, believe me. experience just matters.

The Blastbeat drums on intro sounds much like Dimmu Borgir in the late 90's. Album is recorded and mixed by Mikko Karmila, makes me wait alot.

And i think he has much better touch and ear for this kind of job than any other in this business...waiting alot!
Huh. Haven't been keeping up with Bodom much lately. First time hearing this song/album. They are starting to meld into that stereotypical metal of banging away at power cords or some quasi melody that I've heard regurgitated time and time again. Alexi's solos are even getting redundant. I understand that there's only so many combinations of scales and arpeggios that one person could mash up into face-melting sweeps, but why did they go this route? Why are they becoming another generic metal band? I really hate to see that happen to such god-like musicians.

That is all.
tl;dr It's just a drunken rant, don't waste your time.
I actually agree with you. Blooddrunk was the album which broke it for me as well. I feel like they reached their peak with follow the reaper, the ones after that were still good though, just not as good, but blooddrunk simply just didn't feel nowhere near as good and interesting. :(

Blackcore
i remember hearing the leak of this song from some finnish radio show, downloaded it right away and started learning from ear haha. Great times R.I.P legend
The riff gets me.. CoB and Black metal.. awesome!! can't wait more!
I really like the track, awesome drums, insane guitars and the vocals are brilliant :) ofc, its not like the old songs, but imo that doesn't matter CoB still is one of the most awesome metal bands, and the reason i started listening metal
this song is by far their best since the "something wild" and "hatebreeder" albums
Just saw them last night in Cleveland and DAMN were they good!
same here, its just to awesome to contain these feeling of joy when you here such an amazing band like this
I can't Describe this song,It's MORE THEN AMAZING! I like the Blastbeats in the beggining :)
Bands grow and develop, you can't expect 'em not to.
Thank god someone's got the guts to explore new musical lands.
The old pathways were great, and we won't forget them.
But we've all walked them before and maybe now we're ready for something new.
I deeply belive that they main song of their album halo of blood (self named) could be something better than what i just listened. Despite that fact, i think that every fan has to accept the changes of their band, maybe the whole album will be very good!
Already pre-ordered the album, can't wait until it comes out! They've been my favourite band for over 5 years now, keep it up COBHC \m/
Definitely one of the best Bodom songs in recent years
Easily the best Bodom track in a long while. Give us more Black Metal stuff!
I've been waiting for them to turn like this for so long!
I have been a bodom fan for years. I have only heard of this album once. I actually forgot about it
I love their guitars..Alex is one of the best
Been listening to COB for a few years now, and I think they've been consistenly better as the years go foward
You are so right, can't believe these guys complaining. I guess they haven't really listened to the old stuff COB have. Recent albums were enough of that melodic death for a while, this going back to their roots sounds great.

Silent Night, Bodom Night is another fast song. That's really what they're missing. Nowadays they all fall in the tempo of AYDY, with that same drumbeat and identical riffing style. They still make great riffs and Alexi's wailing some badass solos once again. They each showcase their talents very well, they've just fallen under using that same tempo over and over.
is that Dissection's At The Fathomless Depths in the beginning?? sounds almost similar but i like..
I think it's clearly drawn from Retribution/Storm of the Lights Bane
Just saw these guys on Mayhem Festival, they were awesome!
Seeing these guys in concert on 14th October!
One of the best COB albums.
Man they are sounding rejuvenated for this album. Still Bodom but with more sass. Lovin it. Alexi is the man.
I really love this song, such a good momentum through the whole song. Really looking forward to the release of this album !
You will never forget your metal soul, forged since your youngest years. Horns up for the epic story.
That is NUTS ! waaay better sound in this album then relentless n blooddrunk. The Force is strong with this one..
Wow. Bodom is back. I New they would come back one day. Skål to you Bodom.
I don't know what you guys are listening to... This sounds pretty similar to Something Wild, definitely a step up from Relentless Reckless Forever.
Usually, some bands lean towards milder musical styles over the years. Compared to other albums, last COB's album was pretty much in that line, but now this song proves the upcoming album will depart from that trend. This is the blackest I've ever heard COB. And that is great news!
this songs better than their past albums by far, glad to see them go back towards their old style
I am from Finland, I have born here and my whole bloodline all the way from the days people started use Finnish language is from here 100%. So i can tell you that you are right.
couldn't swallow my sip of beer until the blast beat was over
Buying this album the 7th! Amazing sound from a simply awesome band!!
I hope they play this song live. At the moment the best CoB track.
Dissection influences are back! ;D
Loving the new Dimmu Mourning Palace cover!
I love that album art so much!
For sure dude Hanneman is a huge influence ever, for every guitarrist. But I meant Jeff Watters, he played is this album right ?some solo .. and Alexi recorded something in the past with annihilator, there are many pics of them on internet..But check the song from Annihilator, fun palace, remenber me some parts.

It sure is. Jeff - may he rest i peace - is one of Henkkas biggest influences. This album seems to be the strongest since HCDR, at least in my ears.

I love the way keyboard and vocals fits so good on the chorus, it's a super-heavy and black song, Children of Bodom done a very good job on this one, it changes a lot of the other albums, it remind me a little bit Hatebreeder with the power of Hatecrew Deathroll !
About two more weeks until the June 7th, can't wait! Give me the album already! Keep up the great work COBHC \m/
