| | Children Of Bodom Blooddrunk CD Children Of Bodom Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
With a style that splits the difference between Scandinavian death metal ferocity and classic British power metal, Finland's Children of Bodom draw strength from every color in the metal spectrum. BLOODDRUNK can be as vicious and terrifying as the title would imply, but it can also be as exhilarating and anthemic as Iron Maiden. Punctuating their dizzying guitar leads with splashes of melodic synth tones, the Children add yet another layer to BLOODDRUNK'S overall sonic palate, lending a depth too often absent in this kind of album. "Lobodomy" has frantically paced riffs spilling out until they hit a pool of cool, eerie keys that tempers the madness, and "Done With Everything, Die With Nothing" features a stately, Maiden-esque knot of guitar that resolves itself into a breakaway run. BLOODDRUNK'S title makes it sound like all-out darkness, but these guys are having too much fun playing with the blood for that.
Children Of Bodom: Alexi Laiho (vocals, guitar); Roope Latvala (guitars); Janne Wirman (keyboards); Henkka Seppala (bass guitar); Jaska W. Raatikainen (drums).
Recording information: Finnvox Studios, Finland; Petrax Studios, Finland (2007); Petrax (2007).
Alternative Press (p.138) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Laiho's shredded vocals and killer riffs still carry the day -- and helps slice a few arteries along the way." Children Of Bodom Blooddrunk Songs Blooddrunk Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   A nice pick me up after AYDY
The whole album, minus that mistake from heaven, is up-tempo, crunchy, filled with perfect mixing, insane guitar/keyboard solos, and great rhythm sections. Definitley a thrash metal theme to it, and the new tones/ re-recording of Tie My Roope really shows: it sounds much better now!
Anyways, hell yeah, it's COB. Pretty sweet. Definitley pick this album up, it's filled with good quality bodom.

Blooddrunk
 $12.25  
Edging up on its 10-year anniversary, Finnish metallers Children of Bodom have almost completely traded in their black metal roots for the sort of chunky, melodic action that many screamo acts built their entire sounds around. ARE YOU DEAD YET? doesn't hang up Children of Bodom's fondness for unrelenting aggression, but with the emphasis on clear, dramatic leads, slower rhythms, ...

Blooddrunk
$15.65
The long-running Norwegian black metal band work a strange kind of magic on this keyboard-heavy set, wrapping their dark evocations of the netherworld in swathes of synthesizers on tracks such as "The Fundamental Alienation" and "The Conspiracy Unfolds," and even achieving a kind of malevolent ambience on the bleakly majestic "Fallen Arises."
Black metal's most prolific and infamous band return with their new beautifully blasphemous studio epic masterpiece! ...

Blooddrunk
$13.29
San Francisco thrash veterans Exodus are old-school enough to count Metallica's Kirk Hammett as a founding member, but 27 years on, they're still banging heads with a ferocity many of their peers can't match. Loaded to bursting with the kind of rapid-fire, aggressive guitar that made the Bay Area ground zero for '80s metal, ATROCITY EXHIBITION cruises along with power and focus. Tracks ...
| | Testament Formation Of Damnation CD (2008)
Blooddrunk
$13.09
Nine long years since their last studio album of new material (1999's THE GATHERING), Testament returned with a brutally melodic set fittingly titled THE FORMATION OF DAMNATION. Vocalist Chuck Billy's winning battle with cancer inspired most of the group's original lineup to reconvene, with the exception of the ever-changing drum throne occupied here by former Forbidden/Slayer member Paul Bostaph. Lyrically, the Bay Area thrash legends are well-known for tackling social and political fare. For DAMNATION, principal co-writers Billy and guitarist Eric Peterson deliver commentaries on 9/11 ("The Evil ...

The modern barbarians of Amon Amarth are dedicated to mining their native Sweden's Viking past for tales of battle glory and eternal feasting that they can build into their colossally melodic death metal.

| | Nine Inch Nails Further Down The Spiral CD (1995) (Import) Extended Play; Germany
Blooddrunk
$13.59
European edition with four different tracks from the U.S. version: "Self Destruction Part Three," "Heresy" (version), "Hurt" (live), and "Ruiner" (version).
It has become clear that Nine Inch Nails' one-man fuse Trent Reznor has been given free reign to construct his releases in whatever ways he sees fit. And since he has continually railed against pop's constrictive borders, it should come as no surprise that FURTHER DOWN THE SPIRAL rebels against the standard remix album formula. Instead, Reznor allows like-minded deconstructionists to go wild with a blank canvas, and some dark hues provided by THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL. So rather than having dance mixes from the likes of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, this 64-minute EP (!) features the technology-driven sonic landscapes of Aphex Twin, and the thorny abstractions of Foetus' J.G. Thirlwell.
Few of these song titles match their DOWNWARD SPIRAL counterparts, choosing--like the mixes themselves--to only hint at the originals. "Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now)" charges with a new-found frenzy to the strains of Dave Navarro's guitar, only to veer off into a decidedly house music-like break. In the hands of the members of Coil, "The Downward Spiral (The Bottom)" becomes an industrial collage, incorporating bleak dins, dark ambient figures, and a grey-noise version of the "Closer" hook. Only "Hurt (Quiet)," the one track redone by a solo Reznor, resembles its former self. Soft but emotionally taxing, it becomes the sleek and brooding post-modern ballad it always threatened to. And like the rest of FURTHER DOWN THE SPIRAL, it's a gateway into Reznor's psyche--a place where the disenfranchised not only get their say, but get to remix it as well.
Import pressing of this 1995 EP that features three bonus tracks over the U.S. edition: 'Self Destruction' (Part Three,) 'Heresy' (Version) and 'Ruiner' (Version). Further Down The Spiral is the companion release to Trent Reznor and Co.'s The Downward Spiral album from '94. It features remixed and reconfigured versions of a handful of tracks from that album, many sounding more realized than the original versions. ...
| | Smerphasia You've Been Warned CD (2006)
Blooddrunk
$11.39
S M E R P H A S I A"Princess Of Hip Hop" Asia Lynn Jackson p/k/a SmerphAsia was born in Orange County, California on August 15, 1991. At the tender age of 6, young Smerphette showed the innate ability of rhythmic lyrical expression, whether it was mimicking classic hip hop records, or creating new wordplay of her own, her pinpoint delivery, coupled with her charismatic style, was evident from the very beginning. Her introduction to the Hip Hop industry came as a member of a local R&B/Hip-Hop quartet out of Orange County called "Seven 1 Fo" (phonetically named after the Orange County area code). The four-girl group (3 singers) and one rapper (Smerphette), garnered local attention but had short-lived chemistry as a unit. As the group disbanded, one thing was clear from all who saw the group perform: the pint size female MC who rhymed eight bars on almost every song was a "star in the making." In 2003, Smerphette embarked on the journey as a solo artist and it was clear she was more than ready. She immediately began working on songs with famed Death Row producer Darren Vegas, who after seeing her perform at a local talent show, found himself utterly impressed with Smerphette's lyrical skills and stage presence. As a result of that encounter, he contributed six incredible songs on her debut album. To quote Vegas, "her potential is unlimited." Darren should know, after all, he has produced multi-platinum hits for Tupac, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Tha Dogg Pound and several other notable artists. Due to her exceptional work ethic, SmerphAsia has earned a modest fan base through the live show format. She has performed several shows throughout the Orange County area, including the OC's famed "The Block of Orange". In addition, "The Princess of Hip Hop" has performed for, and been mentored by, Debbie Allen, Cassandra Mills (former President of Giant Records), and multi-platinum and Grammy award winning ...

$62.45 | | Diablo's Dust Somewhere Between The Beginning & The End CD (2008)
Blooddrunk
$10.15
Diablo's Dust is the "damned spicy" Indie Rock duo made up of Thom and Sarah Kilts. Their latest lo-fi album "Somewhere Between the Beginning and the End," comes straight out of their garage studio and is their follow up to "Living In Nowhere." This newest album deals with themes of miscommunication, repression, and spiritual longing. The first track, the namesake of the album, asks questions of existence, and the answer is given as a koan or puzzle. The second track, "The Drought Song," tells a story of not having your cries for help heard. On "Male Translata," (literally 'bad translation') again the theme of longing and being misunderstood is explored. "The Good Book," has fun with the notion of the repression of religion and old values on youth -- it challenging those notions with outward defiance -- as jumping on a 'fast train to hell.' "Dawn," explores the opportunity for spiritual awakening, but when the groove fizzles out we are greeted with a sonic punk like anthem. "Dirty Words," speaks again of miscommunication. In the "Lying Lion," the courage to defy and challenge the status quo is lifted up. In "Anybody Listening," a familiar tale is told of people forced to migrate, asking if their cries are being heard. On the "Repressed Man Cometh," the actual mind state of severe repression and its possible consequence(s) are explored. "Let Me Go," is a cry out for freedom and movement within and without. "Won't Make Me Apolitical," asks for defiance against the media and other modes of manipulation to distract us from our rage (again, another form of repression, sometimes forced on us). The album begins to mellow out and get spiritual in tone with "Nothing to Lose at All," which invites us to look at the big picture (a possible suggestion of how to work with our own rage, to never forget to find creative ...

| | Brinn Black Places She's Never Been CD (2008)
Blooddrunk
$8.69
Born to a classically trained opera singer, Virginia native Brinn Black has been immersed in music since birth. Raised in the small town of Chester Virginia, Brinn grew up singing in the church, and in her high school choir. All she ever wanted to do was make music so when it came time to choose a college, the obvious choice was simple: Music City's Nashville, Tennessee. Brinn was influenced by artists such as Reba McEntire and Martina McBride, but Brinn wanted to find her own sound in the music world. She decided to major in songwriting and didn't waste any time getting down to business; writing with such writers as Doak Turner, Brandon Maddox, Julie Grower, Chrissy Wicks, Nick Donely, and David Lee Brown. When Brinn says "my life is truly blessed" she's right. At the young age of twenty she's had the amazing privilege to perform at multiple venues in Nashville, Virginia, ...
