Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Something Wild' is the debut studio album by the Finnish band Children of Bodom. The album was pioneering in its approach, blending the aggression of melodic death metal with the speed and melodicism of power metal, along with strong neoclassical influences. Featuring a rawer production compared to their later works, the record was praised for the dazzling technical skill of the band members.
