RELEASE NOTES:
Four albums in and still whacked on speed, Finnish five-piece
Children of Bodom continue with its highly entertaining, giddy,
pogo-stick metal on Hate Crew Deathroll. Attitude-wise, CoB has
become the Manowar of melodic death metal, willfully leaping off
the cliff of over-the-top metaldom (not unlike Swedish
supergroup Witchery) -- which is refreshing, considering the
poker-faced seriousness of most acts in the genre, and here,
main Bodom-ite Alexi Wildchild Laiho keeps his tongue firmly
in cheek while tearing through squirrelly cuts such as Triple
Corpse Hammerblow and Lil Bloodred Ridin Hood. Like its
predecessor, Follow the Reaper, Hate Crew finds Laiho firing off
frantic speed metal riffs and technical, shred-heavy solos
alongside humorously irritating prog/horror movie keyboards;
this time, however, he has tightened up the arrangements (most
songs clock in under four minutes) and significantly improved
the enunciation of his vocal screech, making for a lean, mean,
and infectious listen. The album races to the finish of its
36-minute running time, only slowing down for deathly ballad
Angels Dont Kill and highlight Sixpounder, which trades
busy fretwork for hackle-raising mid-tempo riff chuggery and a
monstrous, sweeping, anthemic chorus. Adding to the albums
effectiveness is its crisp, crystal-clear, sharp, and mechanical
production (Megadeths stellar Countdown to Extinction is a
reference point), which perfectly suits CoBs slicendice
songwriting ethic. Hate Crew Deathroll is easily the bands most
accomplished, well-rounded, and enjoyable album, thanks to
Laihos playful, frisky approach to metals clichs; placing
Children of Bodom next to comparable European metal acts gives
the overtly serious sensibilities of the genre a well-deserved
deflating.
