Back in the past, the first album of the band, "Something Wild", shook the entire metal spectrum. Their death melodic a-la power metal music was really something new and interesting that a huge percentage of metalheads liked to. "Hatebreeder" and "Follow The Reaper" were great too but many people blamed and resented the band cause they claimed that COB were just recycling their music and all of their albums were just the same. To tell you the truth, this could be true because most of COB's songs have many resemblances and that had as a result many songs to look the same.
Let’s leave the intros and speak about "Blooddrunk". Firstly we have to notice that this album will be released in many different editions with lots of extras so check out the official BODOM site about it. Let’s talk about the music now. As we said above there are many resemblances between the "Blooddrunk" and the previous CHILDREN OF BODOM’S albums but I don’t think that you won't like the result. Individually it’s sure a great album but what if we have to compare it with the old COB's albums..? I believe that the biggest percentage of the groups fans will prefer the old ones. "Blooddrunk" isn' t sure in "Something Wild’s" and "Hatebreeder’s" levels. For those who listen to this kind of metal music and especially the COB’s fans, I believe that they will love it as I did. Alexi Laiho is a really capable person who writes great riffs and solos and he did a really good job for "Blooddrunk". The CHILDREN OF BODOM formula has been used for one more time. "Blooddrunk" is full of melodic guitars, keyboards, lethal riffs and amazing solos and of course the characteristic voice of Laiho...
The album begins with "Hellbounds On My Trail", a song that starts with the classic BODOM way. I didn’t like a lot the keyboards section in that song. I think that sometimes they are bored and useless. However, "Hellbounds On My Trail" includes a great solo while the main riff kick ass too. The second track is the semi titled "Blooddrunk" which begins with a great keyboard intro that is followed by a great riff. The next one is called "Lodomy" and now the speed gets faster. "Lodomy" is a more complicated song with great drums, riffs and solos that will make you bang your head over! In the same paths are most of the songs while "Banned From Heaven" is a mid-tempoed and more relaxed one. The last song "Roadkill Morning" is the most aggressive, fast and the most "kick-your-ass" track of the album...it will burn your head and broke your bones!!! It starts quickly without any guitar or keyboard intro and it strikes directly to the bone! As a fan I liked "Blooddrunk" a lot but I think that a band like CHILDREN OF BODOM needs to develop their ideas and style... If you are a BODOM fan you have to wait till April to buy this release. For the others I don't think that this album will fill you with enthusiasm...
