'Hexed' is the 10th studio album of Finnish Metal super stars Children of Bodom. It’s been three years since the release of ‘I Worship Chaos’ and Bodom (formed in 1993) have taken time out around touring to carefully develop this new work, which packs a hell of a punch. History tells us that having an extensive timeframe to work on a project can often result in procrastination and loss of focus – but with ‘Hexed’ the reverse has manifest in this 11 track, impressively stripped back melo-death, rock-n-roll-rampage. ‘Hexed’ is a high-energy, uptempo record seething with new life but also all of the Children of Bodom trademarks that millions of fans around the world have grown to appreciate. Their mix of melo-death meets blackened thrash with a neo-classical twist, and piercing Derek Sherinian-intense keyboards peppered with Alexi’s venomous vocal bile, is what makes a Bodom spread so engaging.
