    The Next Chapter: Bodom After Midnight

    Payback's sounded weird at first but I quickly enjoyed it after a few listens. Dissection cover is great, and sadly fits well for Alexi's final act. I listened to the original album quite a few times this past weeks and have been surprised on how much an influence it was for Alexi. At least 3...

    TAB Thread.

    "Paint the sky with blood" is out. I feel this one will be tricky to play, modern bodom, many twists... Hopefully arcane has locked himself somewhere to get the tab ready :p

    Great artwork! I just can't get used to the band logo though, still looks shitty to me. Eager to hear the songs.

    The Next Chapter: Bodom After Midnight

    The "part in the middle" is almost exactly the same, not just a bit similar. There is another riff too : the "Voices are calling me, 'be my night!'" part, which was slightly tweaked. Also, another memorable riff from that demo was recycled in Cogito ergo sum with Impaled Nazarene.

    Children of Bodom's borrowed riffs

    Not a scoop and I'm sure it's already pointed out: Sixpounder is a tribute to the Pantera song 'a new level'. Same style heavy mid-tempo chromatic main riff, and then the verse is also a play on the original verse. Alexi has said several times that he was listening to Pantera during HCDR/AYDY...

    Alexi passed away

    I think I shouldn't fucking care less. It's absolutely private matters that shouldn't have come out publicly. I don't know these people. Let them set their issue with lawyers, privately, quietly. I'm glad there has not been such bullshit when Roope left or COB disbanded, the guys have been...

    Has surely been posted before, but having watched again after a while, this is really Alexi & Roope at their best. Not flawless, but reminiscent of the good old times, tone, and compositions. Mostly from Sinergy's SBMS. Two guitar machines pushing each other further, as said Kim Goss in a recent...

    The Children Of Bodom Gear Thread

    I'll be of little help, but with my EMG HZ (H4 I believe) + EMG Turbocharger preamp Jackson Warrior and Marshall DSL 20, I can get real close to any Alexi tone, old or modern. The preamp is really useful to lower the gain on the amp so that you're not too much on the extreme death metal tone...

    Alexi passed away

    I PM'd her yesterday night my story about the day when I wasn't home and my Hi-Fi system blasted Beware The Heavens at max volume, waking up a hundred people from my building and the one in front @7am on a public holiday, due to some mishanded alarm clock function. Meanwhile I was just getting...

    Alexi passed away

    Forgot about that infamous 4th sinergy album! Had no idea it had been that advanced... Given the quality 2001 FTR, 2002 Suicide by my side and 2003 HCDR, that should have been a great one for sure. Will Talking to the Trees SW version show up someday? Even if this song has been vastly recycled...

    I've actually been to Graspop festival in June 2004 about a month before that video. Can't remember the guitar, but that video just blew that memories up my face. I was 16, had just bought my first guitar and drown myself into Bodom for good. Fuck I can't believe he's gone... Cheers everyone

    It makes sense. That would mean getting rid of key solos I suppose, which were part of COB signature sound.

    Cobhc pendant

    This typo was used along the Hate Crew Deathroll album merch. I've had a t-shirt with this exact COBHC logo surrounded by scythes, red on black.

    It now seems obvious to me that BAM won't feature keyboard, hence the session keyboardist for the COB songs live. I'm curious about BAM music and quite happy if it reveals true. New band, fresh ideas, and less compromise. I like it. For those whining about the lack of keyboard it might be time...

    TAB Thread.

    Just been playing Hexed today as I was wanting to for a while. Great tab as usual, feels accurate and nice fingering. You make my life easier as you've been for a long time. Thanks Arcane!
