off topic - I always thought your name was an allusion to the hardcore band Hatebreed. they used to be pretty cool, until they appeared in Vin Diesil's XXX. You didn't seem the hardcore type, somehow.

...and it's also not a bass

It's one of those 6-string "basses", like a guitar down an octave. Isn't that still a bass?

Remember, you're an individual...just like everyone else.

I'm not!

HateBreed is false *flex*
They are one of the bands that steals their name from Children of Bodom songs. Them and "Every Time I Die", which is also a Bodom song, but then a hardcore band. IN both cases, the song the bands are named after are better than anything that those bands have ever done ;p

I'm not!

You so are ;p

WAAAAY back in the day, hatebreed was pretty good - I was never that into the hardcore scene, but we're talking like, oh... Middle school, so we'll say '94-95. Then they fell off the face of the earth for a while. Then they were the heaviest thing on modern rock radio in like '03-ish, which you can take for what it's worth.

I actually like Sinergy a little more than Children Of Bodom, the vocals sound better. Alexi can rip though. \m/

Kim Goss is hot, but Bodom says 'fuck' more. and the word fuck is bad as fuck.

Unfortunately I think Alexi's vocals would sound better in a real death metal band, something more along the lines of Vader or Vital Remains. CoB has more in common with power metal musically, at least to my ears. Not saying that's bad, it just grates on my ears sometimes.

Frank Mullen wins in my book of death metal singers. Suffocation's Human Waste is brutal but nowheres near Effigy Of The Forgotten which is one of my favorite albums of all time. Breeding The Spawn is great, Peirced From Within is great, Despise The Sun and so on....he just rules death metal vox...just my opinion.

I dunno. alexi says he doesnt havent any power metal influence. i think its more the 'classical with distortion' thing going on. THat and they have more slayer influence than anything else it seems like, recently.

 

[eleven59]

That's an awesome bass

 

[dpm]

I never claimed it was a bass, but it is a Bass IV *flex*

I can't seem to find any true pics of me which is thus false.

Yeah, it might not be influenced by it, but they have some of the same influences. Overall they just sound like a cross between Melo-death and Power Metal to me. With a clean vocal track they'd be firmly in the Power genre, IMO.

I mean, Alexi might call CoB Death Metal, but that moron in As I Lay Dying thinks his band is Death Metal too. Course there are a lot of people running around calling CoB Black Metal, which makes zero sense.

 

[Metal Ken]

In the same interview, alexi just said "we're a metal band. Just metal. i dunno what else to say."

That's cool then. Better off not picking a genre thatn one that makes you sound dumb.

This is about as metal as I ever got

You really remind me of Head from Korn. You got a pretty badass strap setup goin on.
