What music does COB actually play?

[Dred]

originally: powermetal meets melodic death meets punk
now: Tut farting on a snare drum


theyre most certainly not black metal...and just because alexi says theyre a type of music doesnt mean they are. if he told you they were a baroque influenced satanic polka band with a touch of african tribe drums.....would you belive him then as well??

 

[Feel_The_Force]

Who gives a shit?

 

[Dred]

apparently chammet does....everyone else is just adding in there $0.02 whether they care or not

 

[GhostOfPerdition]

Their style has varied from album to album.

Something Wild - Neoclassical melodeath w/ higher vocals than death but not black metal
Hatebreeder - Neoclassical melodeath (same vocal dealio)
Follow the Reaper - Power melodeath (same vocal thing)
Hatecrew Deathroll - Futuristic melodeath (?)
Are You Dead Yet? - Metalcore/Melodeath (more screamo like screaming)

 

[Death Animal]

They play good music.
Sometimes

 

[Lari]

Melodic metal. COB have never had anything to do with death, black or power metal.

 

[Earth Breather]

SW - (Half)Melodic Black Metal

Shut the hell up. SW is the most melodic thing I have ever heard.

 

[GhostOfPerdition]

FTR is DEFINATELY a powermetal album + growl vocals.

Stratovarius covers, Stolen darkthrone riffs and Stolen Carcass drumbeats

thanx again for your answers.

I disagree. It's his band, whatever he wants to classify his own music as is his choice. Although I agree he does appear to have no idea what kind of metal is what, but that doesn't change the fact that he has the rights to choose the genre of his own music.

Sweet. ;D

 

[lunatic_cherry]

Who fucking cares what it is called?!
If it rocks, it rocks. No matter what style it is. But that's just my point of view...

 

[Draznog]

Ill finish it once and forall METALCORE

 

[ViolentForest]

Why don't we call it jazz while we're here.

Depends how you determine melodic.

 

[Craig fae Glasgow]

The first three releases are aggressive power metal.

After that it gets a bit hazy, a thinned-out version of the old sound plus some thrash and mallcore influences.

 

[ND24/7]

Pointless but fun...

Something Wild - Neo-classical Melodeath Punk With Black Influence
Hatebreeder - Speed Neo-classical Melodeath With Black Influence
Follow The Reaper - Speed Neo-classical Melodeath
Hatecrew Deathroll - Speed Melodeath With Thrash Inluence
Are You Dead Yet? - Melodic Neo-Thrash

I know nobody really gives a fuck what what it's called they play (me too) but heres a statement from OMGALEXI about this:

"I would like to call our Music just Heavy Metal, but for most people thats not enough. Call it Death-Thrash-Speed-Punk if you want but don't call it Power Metal. Power Metal are Bands like Hammerfall and we're really not playing the same sound as Hammerfall"
