I am wondering if anyone has any clarification on why Roope didn't play the last show with them? He was the longest standing guitarist in the band, is there some bad blood?

I'm nearing the end of the COB book where they begin to talk about the Halo of Blood recording sessions, it seems like the dissatisfaction with his work ethic was unanimous but I've always heard the narrative being pushed that it was mainly Alexi's call to give him the boot. Thoughts?

Unless of course Alexander was chosen because they want to play their greatest hits and he was the guitarist at that time, which can be argued are Something Wild through Hatecrew Deathroll with the exception of AYDY.

Needled 24/7 is a masterpiece of a song from their best album imo. The vocal parts are so good

Looking at pre 2020 posts actually hurts my soul so much for obvious reasons. Can anybody else relate? I mean album leaks, touring schedules etc we will never have those again

Look here, Alexi & co are the main reason why I’m so into music. I’ve watched COBTV, Thrased lost in Helsinki, all the live concerts and all the interviews countless of times. This is because I love every single song that they ever put out.

Somedays an upcoming tour was the only thing that kept me going.

I was lucky enough to catch them between 2013-2019.

I think it’s so cool to see Alexander back on stage with the band, once upon a time it was merely a dream and a fantasy.

With the definitive and bitter taste of death in mind, it feels really amazing to see your favorite band rise from the grave, in loving and solemn memory of our one and only Alexi.

I love this band more than anything and I have mad respect for Samy. I couldn’t go see them in Tavastia so it brings tears of joy to see the band logo back on festival rolls.

I think it’s good that they keep doing shows with Samy and Alexander, and dammit I would look forward to new music aswell.

Let us, who want to see them live, feel the hype again - and let us long for new music. If you don’t like it then please just shut the fuck up and mind your own business.

End of fucking story.

Underrated: Blooddrunk, I think it's one of their best , probably my second favorite after HCDR. HM: Halo of Blood.

Overrated: I'm sorry but it's gotta be Hatebreeder. Still an fuckin awesome album, it's almost a perfect 10/10, but I don't think it's their best. I see many ppl say this is their best and I just don't agree.

Been on a big CoB kick lately. I would call myself an intermediate guitarist, the songs I know up to speed are Bed of Razors and Punch Me I Bleed.

Also working on the Are You Dead Yet solo but getting the ascending part of the scale run up to speed is kicking my ass (will continue to work on it). Can play the rhythm part and keyboard-guitar harmony solo in Living Dead Beat. Prolly not ready for that main solo yet.

What would be some other good CoB songs for my skill level? ❤️
