Music Similar to Children of Bodom?

[Papasmurf89]

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum and all but I just got Children of Bodom's "Follow the Reaper" CD and I really like it. Well, my question is, what other bands are similar to Children of Bodom that I might like?

Thank you.

Kalmah is like them as well as Imperanon. Try some early Nightwish like Oceanborn or Wishmaster.

Norther is basically a carbon copy of Children of Bodom, im not joking the lead singer even looks like Alexi

 

[Poison God Machine]

Some of Soilwork's early material, like Steelbath Suicide and A Predator's Portrait, sounds somewhat similar to Children Of Bodom at times.

Although they've moved in a different (i.e. worse) direction lately. I gave Figure Number Five a bad review at www.metal-archives.com .

Naw.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

All the hundreds of bands from Finland that sound exactly like them? Seriously, that shit is multiplying like a boyband explosion or something.

I hope The Reverend Bizarre gathers them all into a room and crushes them all with the sheer power of relentless DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM (and riffs). :Spin:

EDIT: Made a big post, but never mind.
