Band Profile: (taken from MA, with a few edits by myself. And re written, in a paragraphed format.)
Children of Bodom, are a speed/power metal band with strong melodic death metal infleunce, haling from Finland.
The band formed in 1993, although they were formerly known as Inearthed, and released 3 demos under that name. (Band dicography can be found on the second post).
"Children of Bodom acquired their name from a legendary murder that took place in Finland at Lake Bodom. When four teens went camping at Lake Bodom in 1960, three of them were stabbed to death in the middle of the night, and the man who survived, Nils Gustafsson, went insane and was committed to an asylum. He said he saw the Grim Reaper. In 2003 the Finnish Police arrested Nils Gustafsson, who was assumed to be the killer. However, there wasn't enough proof against him, so he was acquitted, and the case remains still unsolved. The Grim Reaper is Children of Bodom's mascot and appears on their every album cover." Taken straight from MA profile.
