from the depths
Compared to other great metal bands from Finland, COB just fall short in my opinion. Granted that Kuoppala is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard, I just don't think the songwriting is there. They don't have the melodies like Kalmah or Sonata Arctica. Most of the songs are standard two chord progressions that never really go anywhere. They do have a tremendous amount of talent, and with the right songwriter in charge, could be awesome, but for now, 3 stars for some incredible guitar work.
