Hate Crew Deathroll

Hate Crew Deathroll is a work on which CHILDREN OF BODOM clash sharp guitar, urgent keyboards and rough singing at high speed. While keeping the splendor of the previous albums, the riffs are heavier and the songs step greatly into a thrash-like aggression. It is also the last work on which guitarist Alexander Kuoppala took part. On “Needled 24/7,” “Sixpounder” and “Hate Crew Deathroll,” technique and melody are condensed even within short songs, and the playing is always taut. Songs like “Chokehold (Cocked 'n' Loaded),” “Angels Don't Kill” and “Bodom Beach Terror” breathe the band’s full playing too. While steering toward a more aggressive, straight direction, the band’s characteristic splendor is not lost. Binding the splendor and roughness of Nordic metal, it is one of their signature works.
