Is the new IF album even worth a listen ?
Gave it a listen and I'd say its miles better than their last 2 records but still pretty bad and I wouldn't listen to it again. I really enjoy their early work and kind of enjoy their ~early/mid 00's sound but everything after Playgrounds(even playgrounds is boring) is complete trash.
I listened to one song off the new IF and it seemed to have really embellished bass work. Other than that just trademark IF stuff with nothing new.

The new cobhc front page no longer has a link to this forum, which means hope has been lost for this sinking boat, the ones crazy enough to stay can now drown in peace. Kinda disrespectful.

Well, it's not like there are many people who go on bands' websites anymore. People follow them on Twitter or on Facebook. I discovered the forum while writing "Children of Bodom forum" on Google.
I'm sitt'n here in a cafe next to a guy who looks confusingly like Nils Gustafsson. You think I should ask him "hey... did you do it?"

Guys, do you think the album will be available at midnight in Japan?
If so, it means it at 3p.m. in the UK and we can have hopes to see it leak on Wednesday

Nah it was still there the day before yesterday. Then again, does it even matter, this place is basically dead.

+1 Review 9/10
" Fans of old-school Bodom will be delighted that neoclassicism makes an explicit return in this release, which has strong echoes of Follow The Reaper and Hatebreeder. “Glass Houses” has Vivaldi all over it, while title track “Hexed” has some beautiful Beethoven-inspired scale passages. After I Worship Chaos experimented with some down-tempo tracks, this album is almost uniformly fast-paced. It only slows down during “Soon Departed”, a bleaker track which still moves but allows the band to take a breath from furious riffing and explore more heaviness.
(...)
Hexed rings out with the inherent playfulness and reckless energy of the Children of Bodom sound. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief, because with this album the group have built on the strong foundations of their heritage and confirmed that they still have a lot more to offer than nostalgia. "

Holy shit I'm going to a pre-listening with the band this week I'm going to die???? Radio Rock had a competition on instagram where you were asked what kind of extreme things have you done for Bodom so they can pick the "true fans" to be there lol
Shit I've done was like
-almost got into a car crash on the way to a show (fuckin shitty weather and darkness, no streetlights and a moose on the road)
-for 2 months ate pretty much just oatmeal and rice so I'd have money
-sold my winter boots to get ticket money and had to go the whole winter with worn out converse
-3 COB tattoos
-learned english super fast just to understand english interviews and lyrics
-queued in a hoodie during winter to make sure im getting into the front row (was already sick at the time)
-so many hours in the queue holy fuck

You guys... You have no idea how much this album means to me.
I am currently teaching in French in England, and British kids are literally the worse I've seen (and I have seen really terible ones before). They are rude, mean, disrespectful, with no regards whatsoever for their environment. They trash everything everywhere they go, have no respect for property, materials. They are narcissistic, and so insanely entitled.
Never before have I seen something like this. And all my mates in other schools tell me the same stories...
Anyway, I always tought. I tought guitar, I tought Norwegian, English, Russian, French, I tought basic computering, etc. Teaching is my thing, I have always loved it. Which is why I became a teacher. I worked in Norway, in France and in Ukraine, and I was still sure that it was the job of my dream. But now... Now that I work in England... Every single morning I wake up with anger, stress, resentment, angst, etc.
My job is literally eating me alive. I don't sleep, I developed an addiction to junk food, I lost all motivation for any of my hobbies..
But I just can't quit. I support financially my damily while we await for my wife to get her residence permit.
Anyway. I've been at the bottom for quite some time now. And this Bodom album is one of the few things that bring me solace while I wait for an opportunity for a brighter future.
I am literally dying to here it, because it resonates so much with my current feelings.

Just drink a bottle or red wine every other day and do sports every other day, should balance things out.
