Skyfire is way better than the self-indulgent crap that COB puts out. Skyfire actually *writes songs* and Children of Bodom reuse the same riffs and same ideas for every song now. And don;t get me started on the lyrics....Alexi Laiho should either learn Engrish Grammar or just write in his Native Finnish tongue. COB hasn't put out anything of value in nearly 11 years. Skyfire is way more unique and original than COB. As far as "melodic" Bands from the north, Kalmah is better than COB too.
skyfire are far better songwriters than CoB, have far better vocals and lyrics.
while i am a CoB fan, alexi's voice can be pretty annoying at times, some of their music is too simple and repetitive, and they have some of the most astoundingly stupid lyrics.
@Loublake95 Norther is fucking shit. They take CoB's music, without personnality. Relentless, Reckless Forever is better than all the Norther's discography
@DanteMelancholia I accept your opinion. But IMO Norther kicks Bodoms ass all the way. And they didn´t took Bodoms music. The first two Albums sound really like old Bodom, but Norther sounds really different since Death Unlimited. I´m a big Norther fan and i really like Bodom till HCD. But relentless reckless forever is the worst Album I´ve ever heard. Just Not my funeral is a good song on the Album.
@DanteMelancholia classic bodom is unbeatably awesome, no one can deny that Hatebreeder is a contender for best Melodeath album ever. But thesedays i'd take Norther because they have stayed true to real melodeath.
@DanteMelancholia I agree that new Bodom owns the last two Norther albums, and likely the rest they will ever put out. Its much closer to call regarding the remainder of their discography.
MELO DEATH METAL FOR THE WIN FUCK DETHCORE WITH THERE STUPID HACKED UP GAYNESS AND FUCK SCREAMO AND FUCK ALL YOU GAY BOI'Z WHO ARE AGAINST THESE GODS OF METAL
@kfl3xgamer lol calm down man let them complain there is plenty of us that love this shit we dont need to appease people by letting them get us up in rage just keep on rocking the fuck out preferable with this band and others in the genre
i know everyones talking about skyfire sounding like children of bodom and all the rest, heres an idea, Skyfire do sound kind of like children of bodom in a lot of the melodies and stuff but since they are both melodic death metal it is only natural to similarities. Of course there are also differences like the vocals sound closer to Ensiferum or Opeth than children of bodom. But i like both bands, cob are clearly talented as are skyfire. So i'm cool with both, anyone else agree?
@kalmahman48 dude, show some respect for COB. maybe they don't that much like skyfire to you, but even so, they're first 3 albums were metal masterpieces. It hasn't been so great since then, but lots of bands hit rough patches. Plus alexi's vocals aren't really bad, they're fairly typical of the genre, as is the jens johansson influenced keyboard sound
I take my comment about Skyfire not doing solos back! I just listened to the song Linger in Doubt and that is honestly the first solo I have ever heard them do. I guess they just started that this album, I notice they have a new vocalist.
@PancakeNightmare you dont know what the fuck your talking about clearly. they are both melodic death metal, they just have totally different styles. skyfire doesn't do solos, COB does, but skyfire is clearly more death metal oriented whereas COB isn't - who gives a shit, they're both metal.
anyways off of the negativity this is a great song, i only just got into this album but i will check it out some more
@PockyMonster21 Okay :) Check out my videos,and feel free to dislike without fear that a crazed Serbian will meet you at your door ready and willing to slit your guts xD
I think this may well be the best song on Esoteric. Fucking eargasims all the way through. Skyfire is the best band that no one has heard of. Soooo underrated!!
I've never understood why they insist on making their piano sound like 2nd rate midi trash. I'm not asking for a grand piano, but anythings better than it sounding like the kid pianos out of the back of Toys R Us like it currently does. Don't call me a hater, I
I've listened to all their albums...this aspect pisses me off every time i hear them.
Hey, this is a very elegant and amazingly played song. I enjoy listening to all that is going on in the song. The melodic aspect of it is especially prominent here.
This song has some fantastic melodies and I love the way they create phrases! The piano is a great touch too! Wow, I hope to hear more from this band, they're certainly something unique.
Ugh, it sounds so great until 1:02. Come on, SkyFire. More melody, less screaming and fast strumming. Well, I guess I'll just stick with Mind Revolutions. Still going to hit "like" because they are an amazing band, my tastes are just different.
this is one of the best bands ever !!!!...from their first album til the last one ..they somehow manage to evolve and at the same time maintain the great quality of music production :))) awesome peaces of work
This so is epic as all hell, but it's also so...mature, idk if that's the right word. This song knows what's going on, it knows what it's doing in life, and it is more melodic death metal than any other song I've heard.
@blahblahblahblahlahb That's actually a really good comparison. Thinking about it now, were this song to manifest physically, it would be one of the most beautiful women alive.
Hey guys if you like Skyfire I think that you may also like Mors Principium Est (1st album), Dreamshade and Kalmah!! very good bands!!!!
