The last album isn't that bad, but it doesn't comes close to the first four (the fifth is pretty good too). Hatebreeder for me is the best Melodic Death Metal album of all time!
Jaska Raatikainen recently shared a funny story about this song: When they were recording this back in the 90's, he had problems with insane 200bpm tempo and double bass parts in the studio. After many failed attempts, the frustrated drummer turned to Alexi Laiho and asked him if they could possibly reduce the tempo because he felt it was impossible to get the double bass right. Alexi was very strict about the arrangement as usual and refused to make any changes, but after long and exhausting negotiations he finally gave up and agreed to drop the tempo all the way to... 199 bpm. He told Jaska that was all the help he was gonna get, so Jaska had no chance but to raise his playing to the next level and eventually he nailed the song . Says a lot about the integrity and passion of the band at that time when they were still pretty much kids.
This kind of bass drum speed and precision was unheard of in Finland in 1999, we went nuts for it as teenagers, and it's still such a cool song 20 years later.
Yes it was, so glad i‘ve seen them three times, and so sad it was not more often in 16 years s a fan… but hey, i had the opportunity to speak with jaska at the meinl drum festival in 2008, that was really great :)
Played a show with Havok and Bodom a couple years ago, I was upset that bodom didn't play this song. IT'S MY FAVORITE! Btw great video, very killer playing!
Everytime I see drummers cover this song, they almost as a rule are playing with Axis longboards. It's quite something, that Jaska did this with Pearl Eliminators. They're some good pedals, I used to play with them also, but still... damn. Those Axis ones are something special. Tried them a few times in music shops, and the precision is something else with the solid attachments.
maaan when i saw them live they played songs from the first 3 albums... even stuff like in the shadows... but fuck when they played this song i nearly cried
old Bodom songs were masterpieces
Arzh arnthor *are
They certainly were, and still are.
recent bodom albums are absolute shit compared to the 4 first albums
The first four were quite good.

Это впечатляет

I assume Jaska is pretty legendary in Finland? I mean he is globally, but especially in Finland I bet
@@benthomas8765 Absolutely. I'd say he's like our Dave Lombardo.
Still one of the best bands ever imo. So glad i got to see them in my home town
Haha, Downfall was such an effin' meme in my school back in the day. "I heard you are a drummer. BUT CAN YOU PLAY DOWNFALL!!??!?"
0ktober I wish anyone in my school had been into music like that!
Well, I'm Finnish and those were the years Finnish metal was just getting big. Bands popping out here and there.
0ktober "Well I'm Finnish..."
Say no more, we understand my friend \m/
ThirteenthAndy yeah but can you play slow ride
@@0ktober I was gonna say where do you live because I've never met anyone at school who knows who cob is
These kind of talents come out every now and then. This is really one of those. I'm speechless.
wow man thank you very very much!!
The only thing better than this song, is seeing it live.
DangerDev saw COB in London last year, fucking amazing.
Couldn't agree more. I saw them in Louisville a couple years ago and it was AWESOME! Downfall was especially cool!
seen it twice, next time will be in October in a small club with a huge reputation in Finland
one of the best evenings of my life, they played so many songs from their first album!
Yes it was, so glad i‘ve seen them three times, and so sad it was not more often in 16 years s a fan… but hey, i had the opportunity to speak with jaska at the meinl drum festival in 2008, that was really great :)
3 years late, but I'm so glad someone is showing love to Jaska's talent behind the kit 🤘🏻🤘🏻
One of my Favourite bodom tracks, old school bodom is the best bodom
Damn a redhead!
Hell yes, pre-liked before the drums even started. Killer song.
This was one of the most beautiful things ever seen.... Cheers on the cover \m/
Love all the cymbal hits in this song

Played a show with Havok and Bodom a couple years ago, I was upset that bodom didn't play this song. IT'S MY FAVORITE!

what I've found out from gp-tabs is the double bass is mostly 16ths in 200 bpm; yeah thats fast
