As I recall Alexi saying, It's a fuckin' great thing that a band that plays as honest HEAVY FUCKIN' METAL as Children of Bodom does, gets along so well in the finnish charts.
I'm sure HCD hits the charts in Germany in the Top 40 or better.
Hatebreeder charted at #75 in Germany, Follow The Reaper at #46 and I guess the new one will be more sucessful because COB got so many new fans in that time.
Well, the mainstream mass hasn't heard of COB, but I know a fair few people into 'Alternative' music who have heard/heard of them in my town. Mainly due to me being the most uber-fan of them in my town, probably .
