Children Of Bodom, The 5 Kings Of Finland destroys Norway.

Both are masters in their own right,Alexi with his awesome guitar skills with COB and Randy with his death growls in Lamb Of God

COB they sing about Death, Pschological thrillers, lake Bodom Murders, Gang Mentality you name it, oh BTW COB's Lil Blood Red ridin Hood or Taste Of My scythe trumps A7X A Little Peace of Shit

Well for me, I got into metal by the likes of Stratovarius (Black diamond was a hit), Metallica (MOP S&M Version) and Maiden. After that I was into Children Of Bodom, with their video of In Your Face that showed how great they were as a band and also the coolest keyboard solo ever from Janne Wirman, then I started out to check out their old stuff and I was totally blown away from tracks such as Hatebreeder, Mask Of Sanity, Lil Blood Red Ridin Hood, the awesome shred battles. As I was digging the COB, I tried listening to the other side projects such as Warmen and Sinergy, Warmen showing how technical and proggressive you can go with instrumentation and Sinergy with some old school guitar dueling between Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala which was fronted by Alexi's Ex wife Kimberly Goss,
