Children of Bodom's sophomore effort shows how much they have matured since their first release. With "Hatebreeder", CoB have accomplished the perfect sound for their band, that is both appealing to fans of neoclassical and death metal, and that is very original."Hatebreeder" is an album that shows how much potential Children of Bodom have. Showing obvious influences by such classic heavy metal bands as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Children of Bodom introduce their own way of playing the classical leads in the new century. Their combination of speed/neoclassical metal with death metal sounds great, and with the vocals very fitting for the type of music, this record is a one of a kind. The musicianship of the band's members is better than most of the so-called "pros". When hearing the solos on this album, it's hard to believe that the person delivering those amazing solos and riffs is also the band's vocalist. The song and music writing is nothing short of great. Metallica would kill to be able to write the intense riffs accompanied by the most wonderful solos since Iron Maiden. All in all, "Hatebreeder" is a must-have album for the fans of melodic death metal (In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, At The Gates, etc). But every metal fan should enjoy this record, and recognize the mighty force that Children of Bodom will become in the near future.
