I guess so but if you're talking about "Something Wild" then that would be power metal with screamed vocals. Everything else has been Thrash Melodic Death and Metalcore.
@DavManCometh Yeah I was talking about "Something Wild" and to me that album sounds like melodic black metal kinda like Catamenia's first couple albums
Well you see, in many computer programming languages, != is used for logical negation, ie 'does not equal', so what I was trying to say was children of bodom does not equal black metal.
lmfao, I KNEW it. As soon as I heard him say "Black metal band" I thought "There's bound to be some butthurt Genre Nazi bitching about that in the comments"

jesus man get a fucking education. REAL death metal is (1) um, heavy.. (2) relatively inaudible when considering guitars and vocals, and most likely will not gain the same listeners of AWK, as you can see in your 1:19 observation.
loooool, yeah dude, so cob is what...umm...pop right? why not just grow the fuck up? there are no "rules" in music you know? i mean "they don't even do blast beats" oh, alright, so if a screamo band does blast beats and growls instead of screams...that makes them death, no you idiot, NO music is about experimenting and getting your own sound, like it or not, COB is melo death, so please, stop talking like you invented the genre you fucking cunt
YES they are pop. and YES if a screamo band starts blasting and growling they turn death metal. you think if said screamo band said they were still screamo even though they sound death, people would agree with them? or even you? you wouldn't know heavy music if it fucking sat on your face.
hahahaha yeeeeah, i'm sorry i didn't realize i was speaking to Muhammed Suiçmez...stop thinking about googling it...no, seriously, stop, and now stop wondering "how did he do that!?", cob may not be tech death br00tal shit, but they're still death, like it or not...and please, stop thinking that by saying "death" it has to be heavy...look at wintersun...know your shit, then talk shit,, not the other way around
shut up. they are most definitely not black metal but don't make up some shitty gay style. they're not "-death" anything. they don't even do blast beats, they're just another light metal band.
is he CRAZY!!!??? COBHC is NOT black metal..blck metal: burzum, dimmu borgr, behemoth, satyricon... children of bodom: thrash, melodic DEATH metal, stuff like that!!!! fucking moron!!!
nono im sorry.... missmetal if you actually listined to children of bodom you no that thier older stuff is black metal... dont belive me? then look up the album something wild. now they are just metal just like alexi said
AWK has more energy than ANY hard rock band that I can think of. If you watch the "We Want Fun" video; he actually holds up Butterbean on his shoulders!!! He puts his energy into his music AND his muscles!!!
Not to sound elitist but most in the know categorize them as heavy/power metal, just because their music has very little to do with black or death metal though Alexi played with Impaled Nazerene for a bit.
Close, but the band prefers to just be called a Metal band, nothing more nothing less. IMO, I think they are the perfect mix of heaviness and melody/harmony. And the music is awesome to play.
Andrew W.K. was send down from the heavens to teach mankind the ways of face-melting partying for all of eternity. AWK & COB both get my seal of approval...both kick ass.
It's kind of unfortunate. If you hear him speak in later interviews, you find out he's actually a pretty intelligent guy, but for some reason he insists on acting not like a crazy person or nut job: but like a friggin' loser. Just, weird for no reason when he is actually pretty smart.
On Something Wild and Hatebreeder are a lot of Black Metal elements, so why you bitching around?

Something Wild and Hatebreeder were (in my opinion) Neoclassical Black Metal.Reasons why=
Black Metal-The atmosphere,the vocals,the elements
Neoclassical-The leads and the heavy use of the harmonic minor scale
I dont hear alexi doing deep growls like in death metal,I hear him do high shreeks like black metal.
he just didnt write satanic lyrics.
