(Rated this album with 10 out of 10) Reviewed by

One of the best Children of Bodom has released, "Hatebreeder" is a fast, hard-hitting album. It is faster than their release "Follow the Reaper," which was the bands next release after "Hatebreeder," as well as their new album "Hate Crew Deathroll." I like both "Hatebreeder" and "Follow the Reaper" very well for different reasons. "Follow the Reaper" has more of a haunting, melodic mood to it, whereas "Hatebreeder is somewhat brutal. You can't critize this band for lacking diversity, as their albums all have a unique sound. If you like any type of technical metal, Power Metal, Death Metal or Black Metal, you must have this CD. is my second favorite Children of Bodom CD, after "Follow the Reaper." Buy this disc, and give these Finns the credit they deserve.
