Their thrash metal blend with melodies and savage vocals captured the fans attention once again. This band has been on the trenches for a long time, and they are only getting better as time passes. With tracks like “Platitudes and Barren Words”, “Hexed” and other classic ones Children of Bodom played an energetic set. Henkka Blacksmith on bass delivered a powerful performance, as well as Daniel Freyberg during the dual guitar section in the above mentioned track. The night was filled with brutal music, uplifting tracks like Angels Don’t Kill were chanted by the fans as testament to true loyalty to a band that has created the sickest music yet. There is not much to say, except that all members, from Alexi Laiho, Jane Warman on Keyboards and Jaska Raatikainen are still playing beautifully.
