Well what can I say? This album is way better than Blood Drunk, not that Blook Drunk was a bad album. As always awesome cover art with the Reaper. This album sounds more technical than thier past two albums. I am not sure why, but to me it does.

CHILDREN OF BODOM: HALO OF BLOOD TRACK LIST.

1. Waste of skin

2. Halo of Blood

3. Scream for Silence

4. Transference

5. Blue Moon ( The second coming )

6. Your days are numbered

7. Dead mans hands on you

8. Damaged Beyond repair

9. All twisted

10. One bottle and a knee deep

11. Sleeping in my car

The main tracks I like are Blue Moon ( The second coming ) and Sleeping in my car. I know at least one of you already have the album, so if you want to add something please do.



Now the verdict.

I give Halo of Blood

4 \m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ out of 5

Now GO FORTH AND METAL!

I like this album a lot, the only song I ended up not liking as much was Dead Mans Hand On You. Other than that I love all the other songs so I just end up listening through the whole album as I play games and I have it on repeat so it starts right over. The red and white snowy album cover is my favorite one since Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper, it feels like a classic Bodom design again.

I've been listening to entirely too much of the band Battle Beast the past month or so. I listened to their album Steel for the first time and it blew me away. They have a classic heavy metal Judas Priest sound but they add in a solid punch of power metal lyrics, melodies, and choruses I guess. It just rocks, fantastic singer, keyboards, guitars, drums, and bass. There's some awesome metal anthems in this album. And the cover art is badass, it basically shows Robocop fighting a jungle cat man. I have 6 different favorite songs on the album so it's hard to pick, here's one of them.

Yeah, I bought Blooddrunk in 2008 when they were selling it in the lobby at Gigantour. I still really like a lot of the songs on it, but overall it was a bit dry.

So far, "Halo of Blood" reminds me of Hatebreeder, especially that intro, and that album design is just awesome, probably my favorite on a CoB album thus far. I have a Blooddrunk tee, but damn, that white snow design is just badass, I want a tee of it. "Screaming for Silence" has a great keyboard hook, and the ending solos so far have been awesome.

Sounds to me like they are back. I am very happy about this.

it is something about their 08, 09 and 2011 releases that just did not sound like them. Maybe there was some unrest in the band and they had to work through it.

Is this what you meant in regards to "it's almost like a job" when it came to writing this blog? I couldn't even consider trying to review a metal release once a week!
