How did you come to discover Children of Bodom? Here's my story:
I was listening to my custom Yahoo! Launchcast radio and their self-titled song "CoB" started playing. Normally I skip past artists that I don't know, but the beginning intrigued me and I stuck it out all five minutes. The interesting composition of the song piqued my interest, so I checked out the videos for "T,L,&S", "IYF", and "ETID", getting even more and more into their music because of how different it was from all else I was listening to at that time (it was during my metalcore phase when the only real metal band I knew was Blind Guardian), so I went and bought Follow the Reaper and they suddenly rushed to the top of my favorite bands list, causing me to treat that album like food (I listened to it at least 3 times a day). Soon after, I was deciding which of their albums to buy next when I spotted their newest release (AYDY) in a Best Buy catalog for 7.99, so I went out and bought that soon after. The rest is history.
