REVIEW: Children Of Bodom - Follow The Reaper Spinefarm Records, 2000
10/10
Children Of Bodom - Follow The Reaper - cover art More bombastic than ever before the best death metal in the world is back again with their third full-length album. Finland has produced a number of high quality metal bands over the years - Children OF Bodom, Nightwish, Amorphis, Stratovarius, ...And Oceans to mention a few leading ones. Nighwish actually has a sound very similar to Children Of Bodom with beautiful melodies, bombastic and technical metal. Keyboards are used as a way to enhance the guitars and drums rather than serving as a symphonic background. Amazing songwriting and flawless growling makes this album one of the best death metal releases ever. What hopefully pleases fans of the band is that they are definitely not becoming soft because this album is even heavier and more aggressive than before. An additional bonus is lots of beautiful melodies that probably makes even the mighty In Flames a bit jealous. The production could not have been any better and this album is almost as close to perfect as possible. Must be in every record collection. From the thousand lakes they have risen to conquer the world and we have hopefully just seen the very beginning of a band to count with for the first decade of the new millennium.
