[edit] Musical Style

Children of Bodom's style is a mix of power metal, melodic death metal, speed metal, heavy metal and neo-classical metal. Some people call their style extreme power metal. Also because of their vocals, that are simmilar to the harsh vocals used in black metal, they are sometimes falsely classified as melodic black metal.
