CHILDREN OF BODOM “Blooddrunk” /CD/

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Melodic Death Metal band.
The album includes more Thrash Metal than its predecessors. While writing and recording the album, Alexi Laiho had stated he felt very aggressive, and as a consequence the songs would be faster and "Thrashier" than the songs displayed on their previous release, "Are You Dead Yet?". He notified fans, however, that certain parts of the album would also be more progressive, as heard on "LoBodomy".
All the ingredients from past Bodom releases are present once more: Gothic keyboards, guitar acrobatics, and vocals that sound straight out of the torture chamber. But one thing that differentiates Children Of Bodom from the host of other similarly styled bands is that they know the importance of succinct songwriting - only one track here stretches past the five-minute mark. As a result, "Blooddrunk" showcases one of the few Metal bands that manage to balance straight-to-the-point songwriting with their collective instrumental prowess.
The album includes a re-recorded version single "Tie My Rope". 
The song "Done With Everything, Die For Nothing" is a playable song in Guitar Hero 5, which some players consider to be one of the game's harder songs. 
"Blooddrunk" entered the Billboard 200 at number 22, making it the band's highest charted album thus far in their career, and the third highest Death or Black Metal recording chart in the USA. It sold 20,000 copies during its first week of release. The album went Gold in Finland on pre-orders alone, and topped the Finnish charts beating its nearest rival in sales by 7 to 1.
This is the album you want if you're a Children Of Bodom fan (or even just a general Thrash Metal fan) who is looking for a more keyboard-driven album than their past work. Honestly a triumph!
