The first COB song I heard was Needled 24/7 and I didn't even know it. I heard it while watching the "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" documentary when he was at Wacken. The first song, knowingly, was Downfall and initially I just couldn't get into it. I started downloading their songs a few weeks later to give them another chance and just somehow fell in love with them.
Yeah and originally performed by a Swedish hard rock band called 'Europe'.
The first Bodom track I ever heard was the live version of 'Silent Night Bodom Night' from Stockholm Knockout, which was bundled on one of those free Metal Hammer CDs.
first was 'Hate Me' I think. but it didn't brainwash me at first,
year later, my norweigan friend sent me a link to YouTube to the are you dead yet video.
and I couldn't stop listening to it.
I then listened to more songs on youtube. and when I was over in america, I bought Hate Crew, Follow The Reaper & ...Hatebreeder. I cant remember if I got AYDY in america or Britain :/
and I got blooddrunk in britian.
