Agreed, they sound like a more disciplined Bodom, who BTW have absolutely nothing to do with black metal.
Any good black metal bands?

I don't hear enough thrash influence in the music to warrant a "power-thrash" tag. Blackened power metal they are.Yngvai X said:

can't we just enjoy the music. who cares if COB's black metal or not. it has harsh vocals, isn't that what you guys want?

Once upon a time, I almost lost my voice trying to mimic Alexi. Yeah, I choose strange selections to sing in the shower. :O

I think its just best to label them Metal.
But if you are going to genre them I think the Melodic/Death category is just fine.

The thing is that if he's looking for black metal bands, he's horribly mistaken if he thinks black metal bands sound like bodom; that's why it's best to label bands correctly.karelrulez said:can't we just enjoy the music. who cares if COB's black metal or not. it has harsh vocals, isn't that what you guys want?
Other bands (related to the genre) that are worthy of a listen:
Negurã Bunget
Summoning
Bethlehem
Weakling
Yngvai X
Dark Emperor

You don't hear thrash in stuff like Sixpounder, You're better off Dead, Hate Crew Deathroll, Bodom After Midnight, Lake Bodom, Hatebreeder, Towards Dead End, etc etc?
I usually just call Bodom "metal." If you wanna get technical, then melodic/thrash/maybe power. *shrug* How about "kickass" metal?

I personally want good music, which is why I avoid Children of Bodom nowadays.karelrulez said:can't we just enjoy the music. who cares if COB's black metal or not. it has harsh vocals, isn't that what you guys want?

when you get down to it guys, bodom is just a fricken killer prog metal band with thrash/black and melodic death elements added to it. and cradle of filth is not black metal its gay metal

As somebody said before, you should check out Witchery. It's sorta like a black-thrash band. Awesome stuff.

Yeah, i know i used to say differently, but they are now closer to a thrash band than anything, just with harsher vocals than most thrash (save possibly newer testament and the haunted). They used to be more melodic death, but i think they have changed their boundries. as for power/prog/black, you have to be smoking some serious crack to think that any of those come into play.

I find black metal difficult to get into, but the two bands that had me at hello were Emperor and Naglfar. Get Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk by Emperor, just trust me, it's one of the best ever.
