Hexed (album)
''Hexed'' is the tenth and final studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom. It was released on 8 March 2019. It is the only album to feature guitarist Daniel Freyberg, who became a member of the band in 2016, the last album to feature longtime members Jaska Raatikainen, Henkka Seppälä, and Janne Wirman, who all quit the band in November 2019, and the last Children of Bodom album to be recorded and released by Alexi Laiho before his death in late 2020. It is also the last recording to use the Children of Bodom name, as the departing members (Raatikainen, Seppälä and Wirman) filed for the rights to the name, making it so Laiho must be granted permission from all three to continue using the name. Laiho and Freyberg would continue with a different lineup under the name Bodom After Midnight, until Laiho's death. ''Hexed'' is the second album (after ''Relentless Reckless Forever'') not to have a song with "Bodom" in the title, and the band's first albu ...

Productores de Música de España (English: Spanish Music Producers, shortened as Promusicae) is the national organisation responsible for the music charts of Spain. It is a trade association that represents more than 90% of the Spanish recorded music industry. It is the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) group for Spain.

D Tuning
Guitar tunings are the assignment of pitches to the open strings of guitars, including acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and classical guitars. Tunings are described by the particular pitches that are made by notes in Western music. By convention, the notes are ordered and arranged from the lowest-pitched string (i.e., the deepest bass-sounding note) to the highest-pitched string (i.e., the highest sounding note), or the thickest string to thinnest, or the lowest frequency to the highest. This sometimes confuses beginner guitarists, since the highest-pitched string is referred to as the 1st string, and the lowest-pitched is the 6th string. Standard tuning defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E, from the lowest pitch (low E2) to the highest pitch (high E4). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning. To aid in memorising these notes, mnemonics are used, for example, Elephants And D ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Follow The Reaper
''Follow the Reaper'' is the third studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom, released in Finland in October 2000 by Spinefarm Records and in 2001 internationally by Nuclear Blast Records. The album is the first to use a power metal-influenced sound in addition to the symphonic metal elements from previous albums—present mainly in the keyboards, vocals, and fast tempos. Many songs on the album became live setlist favorites, such as "Everytime I Die", "Hate Me!", and the title track. The song "Mask of Sanity" is a remake of the song "Talking of the Trees" from their early demo ''Shining'' (released as ''IneartheD''). ''Follow the Reaper'' was recorded and mixed at Peter Tägtgren's Abyss studio in Sweden, instead of the Finnish Astia-studio from Anssi Kippo, in which they had recorded all of their previous releases, including the demos from ''IneartheD''. On this album, Children of Bodom used D standard tuning (D,G,C,F,A,D), which was also used on '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Background ''Relentless Reckless Forever'' was recorded at Finland's Petrax Studios, during August and September 2010.

"But we were determined to make the best COB album ever, so we were willing to do whatever it took. Of course, having our producer Matt Hyde kicking our asses 24/7 definitely made the results even better, so obviously we're more than anxious to get this album out there." The song "Ugly" starts with a quote from the television show ''House'', taken from episode 12 of season 6 titled "Remorse". The quote is, "You're feeling somethin ...
