Shit dude, I got that one too. It looks epic. Only mine hasn't arrived yet. I hope mine didn't get lost or something...did you do parcel or letter shipping?

In this interview Alexi says, that originally they wanted to open up for a bigger band in US leg of HoB tour. (Before they got Mayhem fest deal)
It's weird that CoB aren't enough big these days to do a good headlining US tour![]()
Well, today I went to get Halo of Blood. I saw another album I've been wanting to buy since it came out but never got around to buying it. I had some spare cash, so I figured what the hell.
Funny thing that happened when I went to buy it. The sales rep was a little confused when he saw I was buying a Meshuggah and a Children of Bodom album (I guess he was thinking something along the lines of "if you like Meshuggah, then why do you also like 'shitty' CoB?" which seems to be a rather popular way of thinking these days), and he looked at me in a slightly condescending way and went "... so you're into CoB?" to which I said "hell yeah! It was the band that properly introduced me to metal some 10 years ago." He just kinda chuckled and told me that ever since HCDR he hadn't bothered listening to them anymore because they sucked. I immediately pulled out my phone, searched for the song "Halo of Blood" on YouTube and gave him a pair of headphones to listen to it. The guy's expression of "this shit's epic" was awesome to behold
. He told me he was going to give this album a try. It made me so happy.
On a poll on their facebook page it says Transference is the favourite track of people, followed by WoS.
Sure, it has only been up for 5 minutes, and the 'FB fans' aren't to be taken seriously, but it does surprise me that Transference is the most liked song so far.

cool little storyThe imagery, in addition to their updated sound on Halo of Blood, has shifted into something people can't make fun of so easily. A forum friend of mine from Canada posted this when he got home from the record shop.
Musically these bands like Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica are bullshit compared to them
Are you kidding me? Megadeth back in the day (1985-1992) had much better song writing than CoB. Same thing with guitar work, yes Alexi may have a more technical edge than Dave Mustaine, but Alexi is also much more sloppy! Also Rust In Peace has much better solos than any CoB album .Not to mention Marty Friedman > Alexi in pretty much every aspect. Though I do like Alexi's material more personally, just Marty>Alexi IMO.

Dude that is such a fucking stupid thing to say. Bodom wouldn't be around if it wasn't for these guys.

I never got that Marty's picking technique... it looks like his wrist is 'ALL TWISTED' (could not resist). But it the end.. it does not matter as he seems comfortable like that.![]()
