    北歐對眾多金屬迷來説真是一個熟悉的地區，北歐國家音樂的多元性使他們在Heavy Metal的發展上一點也不遜色，其中又以Black/Death Metal最令人詠贊。 Children of Bodom，為來自北歐千湖國-「芬蘭」的新生代Melodic Death(MD)樂團，發跡於芬蘭首都赫爾辛基城郊的一個城市；其團名的典故起源於芬蘭境內的一樁駭人聽聞的兇殺案，地點即是在赫爾辛基郊旁的泊登湖 (Lake Bodom)，在1960年6月5日時，四位青少年 (分別為二位15歲、二位18歲) 在當地露營遇害，仡今尚未破案，唯一生還的一位則因受創過巨，仍在接受心理的治療與輔導。

    C.O.B在1997年發行第一張正式專輯「Something Wild」，2003年「Hate Crew Deathroll」，在意境靈感上亦來自於泊登湖兇殺事件，歌詞反覆敍述着死亡、黑暗與恐懼等議題；音樂性探討方面，Children of Bodom被歸類至旋律死亡金屬(Melodic Death Metal)，乃因他們的音樂結構亦是將原本粗暴的Death Metal用美旋律加以點綴，富有旋律性的歌曲往往是一般人較能接受的曲風。大量採用急速的雙吉他旋律與華麗流暢的鍵盤相互搭配、時而勁飆，貝斯與鼓點也有優秀的表現，主唱兼主奏吉他手Alexi Liaho在死腔的表現方面唱法略帶邪惡但充滿吸引力。Children of Bodom用充滿速度感的方式來詮釋旋律死亡金屬，令人讚歎團員更是個個技巧能力一流，樂風豐富的旋律性及披有一層speed曲風外衣，也引起芬蘭一陣這種類型音樂的風潮，這不但是MD迷不容錯過的專輯，也是一般樂迷進入MD世界的入門必備作品。

Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM will release their tenth album, "Hexed", on March 8, 2019 via Nuclear Blast Records.

CHILDREN OF BODOM frontman, guitarist, and mastermind Alexi Laiho comments: "People have said that this album is generally catchier. So I started thinking about that; perhaps the song structures are easier to grasp on initial listen. But there's some crazy shit in there — almost progressive or at least technical. There are certain melodies across the album that could have come from jazz songs, although they're completely metal with us, of course. [Laughs]"

"For me, it has always been very hard to describe our new music," comments bassist Henkka Seppälä (a.k.a. Henkka T. Blacksmith). "In a way, it always feels familiar, but the new stuff also always surprises me. Here we have something that's very BODOM, but somehow we haven't done this kind of stuff, possibly ever. Then again, someone said that there's a somewhat similar vibe to what 'Follow The Reaper' had. I don't know. Anyway, we had a really hard time choosing the songs for the videos. I guess that's a positive problem to have."

"Hexed" saw the return to Finland's Danger Johnny Studios where COB was reunited with Mikko Karmila ("I Worship Chaos", "Halo Of Blood", "Hatebreeder", "Follow The Reaper" and "Hate Crew Deathroll") who recorded everything except keyboards and also produced the album with the band. Janne Wirman recorded keyboards at Beyond Abilities Studios. The album was mixed and mastered at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland.

For this album, the band enlisted Deins Forkas to create the album artwork. Henkka commented on the cover: "For some years I've wanted to try a different approach with our cover art. We are so used to digital art, so it's really hard to do something else. Doing it completely with a computer is somewhat safe and convenient. This time we all agreed to try going old school. We found this cool dude and gave him simple instructions — the cover has to be purple and the reaper has to be central. Half a year later, we got his work, and with little tweaking, we now have the cover of 'Hexed'. It is very different from what we are used to, even the Reaper looks different, but at the same time very spooky."
