Children of Bodom is far from being [[death metal]]. The only [[death metal]] elements in CoB are the harsh/shrieking vocals and the blastbeats. The instrumental is a mix of [[Power Metal]] and [[Speed Metal]]. |

⚫ | ::Yeah, I know. But the fact is that there is no such thing as "power death metal", which would be what describes CoB better, so we opted out for what was the closest to that. I do agree that the keyboards make it very power metal, but you have to take into consideration the content of the lyrics which is in general darker and the vocals/rhythm guitar which are more death metal. Generally, the posture in this cases is to follow what the band says, and Alexi said in an interview that "we are sort of death metal", so I am going with that lead. --[[User:Sn0wflake|Sn0wflake]] 21:42, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC) |

[[Melodic Death Metal]] is best defined by bands such as [[Arch Enemy]], [[Amon Amarth]] and [[The Black Dahlia Murder]] |

Finnish Bands?
"..sharing the same interest for Finnish heavy/death metal bands such as Stone, Entombed and Obituary.."
Entombed are swedish, Obituary are from Florida (I'm pretty sure)...

- I got that information from an interview Alexi gave, I don't have much knowledge about those bands, myself. Probably I didn't get the context quite right. It was trivial data, anyway. --Sn0wflake 03:08, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I don't think the logic was meant to be (Finnish) (black/death metal) (bands), but rather (Finnish black/death metal) (bands), i.e. a band that play Finnish black/death metal. They probably mixed up Finnish with Scandinavian. -- towo 14:14, 2004 Nov 26 (UTC)
- The average reader might not exactly "get" that, so this is probably the best way. And yeah, it's possible you are right. --Sn0wflake 02:15, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Genre
Most real classifications I heard go into the direction of melodic death metal, but over with death metal, the mass seems to think that being streamline with symphonic death metal, but I can't really see Children of Bodom in Nightwish. The genre has an independent, stubby article in its own right, though.
- Melodic death metal seems to be adequate. Changed. --Sn0wflake

Capitalization
I assume the capitalization in this is bad.
- Well, not anymore. ;) --Sn0wflake 05:48, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Fine work
Nice job on the article. Everyone should listen to Tokyo Warhearts. Man that was amazing. -- Sy / (talk) 03:20, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
