Children of Bodom was a Finnish metal band from Espoo, formed in 1993 under the name of IneartheD. Their name was inspired by the Lake Bodom murders.Their breakthrough was the album Follow the Reaper, which was the band's first album to receive a Gold certification in Finland. Since then, all six of the band's studio albums have reached the same status. In Finland, Children of Bodom has released three consecutive albums that debuted at number one on Finnish album charts, and has also seen chart positions on the United States Billboard 200.The band is also known for its rather vague genre, which has caused much heated debate, but could best be described as a mix of death metal, elements of black metal in their early/later work, some groove metal elements, thrash metal in later works and (even though many will deny it) a bit of power metal.In late 2019, Janne Wirman, Henri Seppälä, and Jaska Raatikainen all announced their departure after 25 years of uninterrupted membership, with their final show taking place on December 15, 2019. Alexi Laiho and Daniel Freyberg formed a new band called Bodom After Midnight along with Waltteri Väyrynen (drums, also in Paradise Lost) and Mitja Toivonen (bass, ex-Santa Cruz). Unfortunately, the new band ended up recording only three songs before Laiho's untimely death due to alcoholism-induced liver and pancreas failure in late 2020. | |

Trope Codifier: Along with Norther and Kalmah, they are this for the more bombastic, Europower-inflected style of melodeath. | |

Sampling | |
| Children of Bodom (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: "The Nail", the penultimate track from the debut album, opens with audio samples from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Ben-Hur (1959) on top of each other. "Warheart" from Hatebreeder opens with a quote from Amadeus ("From now on we are enemies... you and I"). The title track and "Taste of My Scythe" from Follow the Reaper have snippets of dialogue from The Exorcist III. "Bodom Beach Terror" from Hate Crew Deathroll ends with a quote from American Psycho, which continues into the next song on the album, "Angels Don't Kill". | |

Melodic Death Metal | |
| Children of Bodom (Music) / int_6756cf91 | comment |
Melodic Death Metal: Probably the easiest label for them, and they most definitely served as an Ur-Example and Trope Codifier for the heavily keyboard-laden, power metal-flavored side of the genre as played by Ensiferum (who actually predated them but had nothing but a demo out by the time Something Wild dropped), Norther, Kalmah, Wintersun, and similar bands from the same region. | |

Indecipherable Lyrics | |
| Children of Bodom (Music) / int_bb225804 | comment |
Indecipherable Lyrics: The band does not publish the lyrics to half their songs, and Alexi is famous for singing whatever he feels like live, in addition to having a thick accent, generally poor enunciation, and occasional slurring if he's hammered. The result: a fandom constantly trying to figure out what the hell they might be singing in each song. | |

Genre Mashup | |
| Children of Bodom (Music) / int_cd3703a2 | comment |
Genre Mashup: Their style can be summed up as "Neo-Classical Progressive Blackened Melodic Death/Thrash Power Metal"... or something. Generally it's easiest to refer to them as "extreme power metal" (Note: Not to confuse them with DragonForce, who call themselves this, but have more Speed Metal than Extreme Metal in their sound), which is what people do. There's even some melodic black metal in their sound, though their later work mostly excised this. | |
