Norther or Children of Bodom

These two bands, at times, sound pretty alike. I personally dont think they sound as alike as some people say they do: you can see all kinds of shit on their guestbook about them either copying COB or (for some people) sounding better. So which band do you guys prefer. I like both of them, but if i HAD to pick who i thought was the better band... Id go with Norther.

yeah, kalmah does have some similarities to COB. Kalmah kicks ass!

I think i like Norther more than COB because to me their is a better feeling to norther's sound. Sure COB has better solos and plays more difficult leads and stuff, but i think norther's keyboards and guitar leads just have a better feel.

I had a feeling everyone would go for COB. And i really dont know why i like norther more. at first i didnt, but now i do for some reason. Maybe its alexi's "badass" type of attitude. it just seems like he is a little full of himself at times... whatever

Yes, i forgot to mention that! as i was typing i told myself alexi has every right to act like a badass. but really, he doesnt have to show it
It makes it seem like he wants fame and nothing else...

By the way anyone heard of Immortal Souls?

They're from Finland too I think, more underground but also heavily influenced by CoB (or at least very much compared to them). Not bad at all...

Children of Boredom sound like shitty glam metal from the eighties, then these other cats come along and rip them off so why listen to either of them, I mean come on eyeliner, lipstick? I say leave that stuff to the women.

You know, Children of Boredom actually is a band. So, even though im sure your speaking of the one with the first album of "something wild", it could be mistaken.

Haha. After all, i went to singingfish.com to hear them. The leads were great! But i thought the vocals should be a little higher.

I would have to say i like Norther best, Cob were good but i find their new album left something to be desired.

As for Immortal Souls their newest album, Ice Upon the Night, is amazing and has a few similarites to both of the other bands but in the end sounds alot different.

Skyfire is the best by far out of these style of bands and I hope their new disc, titled spectral and is coming out next month, will be just as good if not better then their other stuff.

Nobody is saying that Norther is not an amazing band, rather CoB is more so.
