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: http://aaron.thebackground.org/cob/13_Bodom_After_Midnight.mp3 - Bodom After Midnight (5/5 "LOL THIS IS AWESOME s)Warning: He says "Yow yow!" a lot.  ------------- https://soundcloud.com/erin-susan-jennings" rel="nofollow - Bedroom guitarist".

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. |

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. |

I think they're just uninventive and boring. They just throw in the classical elements and don't do anything interesting with them. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

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 ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ed_the_dead/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

I think the arguing is not pointless at all. State you opinion and your reasons ... maybe they are helpful for some people. But it is indeed pointless to try to convince someone ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

Not Children of Bodom, but probably Throne of Chaos and Avant-metal band ...And Oceans. These last two should be on the archives ------------- I'm a Man-Owl-Fish. Creator-Observer-Muse. |

Anybody heard any of the stuff from COB's upcoming album? I heard "In
Your Face" today and they seem to have travelled even further down the
straightforward/uninteresting path they took with Hate Crew Deathroll.
Alexi said the album would have industrial elements, and he wasn't
kidding - the snare drum has that really annoying "industrial"
sound, which I personally can't stand. Alexi's singing has somehow gotten worse
over the years, and his lyrics are just absolutely terrible (I don't
think he even bothers to write lyrics anymore, he just yells
"motherf***er" 50 times in every song and occasionally throws in a
"hate" or "dead"  ). The music is extremely straightforward and not very interesting... it's not flat-out terrible, it's just really simple and relatively boring.

I found it on Window's Media Player's Media Guide, which said it was
from Guitar Pro's website. The direct link to the file is
http://s120908865.onlinehome.us/mp3s/bodom/in_your_face.mp3 - http://s120908865.onlinehome.us/mp3s/bodom/in_your_face.mp3 .
I'm assuming it's legal since it's right there in WMP for everybody to
see.
