I like both bands... but I didnt like the latest album of In Flams. I haven't heard the latest album of Children Of Bodom, but I have heard it's
good. I saw Children Of Bodom live at wacken 2002, they rocked there... but I didn't like their gig at Inferno 2003.
Children of Bodom are the best. It's death metal but it also has melodic qualities. They are one of the few death metal bands, if not the only, that
actually incorporates keyboards into there music and has a band member just for that purpose.
I like them both quite a bit. I havn't really been very impressed with in flames newer albums, but everything up to "clayman" was great. I prefer
the older children of bodom stuff as well, hatebreeder is probably my favorite.
