The level of skill that the band possess is high - guitarists Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala are two of the best shredders on the planet at the moment.
This song comes from their 2005 album Are You Dead Yet?
It starts with a thumping guitar and bass riff which continues all the way through the intro as the drums and keys layer over it. I'm not too fond of Alexi's voice, but just listen to the instrumentation in this song to fully appreciate what Children Of Bodom are about.
The riffs incorporate advanced guitar techniques such as sweep picking and whammy divebombs and harmonics.
The solo section of this song is stunning - Alexi and Roope rip through their solos and then we hear a power metal styled keyboard passage.
Everything about this song is heavy - the bass does such a good job of filling out the guitar riffs and the drumming is relentless.
For any metal fans who don't appreciate European metal bands, COB are a great band to start listening to.
