I don't necessarily think they're prog, but I *do* think that their music could be interesting to a LOT of prog fans because of the seriously insane amount of classical elements.  The vocals are a bit tough to get used to, but the sheer awesomeness of the melodies and harmonies are spectacular.   Badass use of a classically-trained pianist (on keyboards) as well. w**kery at its best!

Sample:  Bodom After Midnight (5/5 "LOL THIS IS AWESOME s)

Warning:  He says "Yow yow!" a lot.

I don't like them.

Here's an anekdote about CoB for those not living in Finland: The bands name refers to the the murders of teenage kids at lake Bodom, which happened at year 1960. They are currently running at trial against a murder suspect at the court.

The relatives of those 15 year old girls killed back then are probably very happy about the bands name.

Talk about bad taste

To be honest I heard: CoB, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, HIM, Beherit, Moonsorrow, Stratovarius and bands like that but I`ll check out the bands you named.

These bands have been merchadised agresively abroad from Finland, with underlining their country of origin. They are pop, and often pop is crap. What I have heard of those you mentioned, they truly are crap.

If you like prog folk try UZVA, or if you are into psychedelia try HIDRIA SPACEFOLK.

Ahm... I heard they sale a lot of albums in Finland (golden records and such things). But as I said I`ll try to check out those bands you recommend me. Oh and one more thing what is it with those LORDI bastards?

I surely don't know!  I think it's directed more to young kids. I noticed an interview of the guy somewhere, and he stated it has always been his dream to be a monster. The lady in ZAPPA's "Uncle Meat" movie might be turned on as he turn's into a monster

I think they're just uninventive and boring. They just throw in the classical elements and don't do anything interesting with them.

95% of todays bands (prog also) are uninventive... But I still think that they created a uniqe stile, so I thind them a ee bit innovative... And I love the keyboard-guitar melodies and harmonies...

Its a matter of taste, as allways... Thats the main problem with any tipe of argument... Its ALLWAYS a matter of taste... so arguing it actuallly pointless
