These guys are something else. It’s not just them but there is something that surrounds them all, like a high vibration of nordic energy mixed with melody and commitment. I have listened to many many metal bands. There’s no band like these guys. Every guy in this band is a phenomenon
If i remember correctly they opened for Dimmu Borgir here and i read some interview were lead singer of Borgir told that they did not knew absolutely nothing about who is children of bodom...but he told that he's friend or girlfriend was happen be looking opening act close to stage and was like WTF?!?..and ran to the dressing room and told the Borgir guys that do you hear that opening band...and they were yeah...you guys are in big trouble! 🤣
Raw energy of old-school metal, emotion of melodeath, attitude of punk and superior technique, COB mixed these perfectly. They always have fun, never take themselves too seriously, and they're always ready to burn the stage with their power. Relentless, Reckless Forever.
Right? I know there's a lot more footage of Alexi absolutely nailing it but damn, his playing was so tight and incredibly fast here. Makes you respect him even more as a player
