Which metal style is Children of Bodom

[Gorgoroth]

Which metal style is Children of Bodom. Is it Death metal, or heavy metal, or speed metal, or...

 

[Floyd]

difficult to say that, but i think it's mainly Melodic Deathmetal. Of course there are a lot of influences from other styles. I would say these are Black-, Speed-, and a bit of Powermetal. Also, there are some influences from classical music (mainly in the solos).

 

[Riva]

melodic death metal i think

 

[Lutz]

Power Metal. I don't see death or black metal in the music..

 

[BodomiC]

definetly a melodic death metal, not some power one

Dont get me wrong I love Bodom, but its definately power metal in denial

Power matel a disciption I read about power matel is:

The marketing department came up with this
tasty term for hopped-up heavy metal that is at
musical essence a cross between speed metal and
funk or reggae, with bouncy rhythms and
jazz-inspired double-hit percussion. Pantera,
...can someone fill in these terrible bands. The
music of power metal is based in the work of
decent heavy metal musicians as well as
atmospheric speed metal bands like Prong or
Powermad.

I don't recognize any power metal in cob.....

 

[Gorgoroth]

THIS THREAD AGAIN!!!!!?????

The fuckin style of COB its named "COB STYLE", ok? for example, whats my answer to the question "what style are kalmah, norther etc?" I always answer "Its COB style". Cause they created a style. But if ya wanna say its power with death vocals, its ok. BTW, they WERE melodic death metal. I mean INEARTHED was melodic death metal. Something wild its also melodic death metal (In the Shadows and The Nail). OK?

PS: Why all of ya dont heard to COB and answer the question by yourselves?
