Format:Audio CD
I'm a 1980s thrash and speed metal child, and had been resisting listening to new bands. But I have been exploring other bands and recently I've stumbled on Children of Bodom. I have bought four of their albums in one fell swoop. And I'm enjoying them.
The musicianship is great, of course. Very fast, melodic and heavy. Keyboards were always a definite no-no for any 1980s self-respecting thrasher, but since listening to COB I have learnt to appreciate them in such a context: they actually make the music faster.
I'm reviewing Hatebreeder, rather than any of the other albums, because I have connected well with it: I like the pace and variety of the tracks.
If you haven't heard anything by them, I suggest checking them on You Tube: that's what tickled my fancy in the first place. Check them now. And get some CoD now.

If like me you are sick of nu-metal bands, and the type of so called metal knocking about on MTV today then give this band a listen. A combination of Thrash, Death, Power, and black metal, COB are a top band. The Riffs are excellent and memorable, the melodys are fantastic, the guitar solos are plenty and excellent, the drums are top notch and most impressive in my opinion is the fantastic vocals. The quality of the writing is also very good as I dont think there is a single filler track on the whole CD. Check them out. Oh I almost forgot to mention the Keyboards which are also of a high standard and tastefully played, adding alot of atmosphere and never overbaring. There is also the odd Keyboard solo here and there too.

This album never really grabbed my attention, it's not badly written but the material is just a little weak.
this is jus my opinion and may be the genre isn't for me but i think its still fair to say that this band has written and released much stringer material.

Greatest album ever?
I think I've listened to this about 100 times, and I'm still not bored of it. You can learn something new every time you listen to it.

Excellent to begin with, then loses its way
The Bodomaniacs possess a talent beyond their years (they're only about 20 odd) - on the whole this is a fine thrash effort from Finland's finest export since Jari Litmanen. Read more

A MELODIC AGGRESSIVE BLACK METAL ALBUM
this is one of the most melodic albums i have heard yet and it is a brilliant one, but although this is as melodic as it gets the amount of aggression is immense. Read more
