| | Alexi wrote two songs for this album and he played all solos. | | | Alexi wrote all songs and the lyrics were written by the bass player. | | | Again all songs were written by Alexi who was under a lot of pressure to write songs that hold the high standard of the Hatebreeder album and it is known that the third album of each band means “make it or break it”. |

| | Laiho is multitalented: not only he writes all songs, sings (growls), and plays lead guitar, he is also a member of Sinergy. | | | Led by mighty Alexi "Wildchild" Laiho (vocals, lead guitar, all songs), the band quickly gained notoriety with relentless touring and impressive catalogue, which includes albums "Something Wild" (1997), "Hatebreeder" (1999), "Follow The Blind" (2001), and "Hate Crew Deathroll" (2003). | | | Their music heavily resembles their countrymen, Nightwish, mostly by a heavy use of keyboards and catchy melodies, only it's a lot faster. |

| | Alexi: Towards the end of the recording process, you know, recording my vocals, I didn’t have lyrics for three songs so I was like super fucking stressed out already, you know. | | | Alexi: I think that the only industrial, or even techno or whatever with the keyboards on the new album… The keyboards were used were a little bit more industrial sounding or whatever. | | | Alexi: It was, like, in the original song, they were saying something about some dude bought a fucking diamond or some sort of whatever for Britney or whatever. |

So we just added Hate Crew Deathroll from there. |

| | Alexi and Roope composed memorable solos for that album, such as that of I Spit On Your Grave. | | | The debut album Beware the Heavens was recorded in 1999 and had a basic concept: returning to the essence of woman-fronted metal bands, throwing aside the operatic elements introduced in the 90's and bringing back the style of singers such as Doro Pesch (from Warlock). | | | The first incarnation of Sinergy was composed of them, bassist Sharlee D’Angelo (from Arch Enemy and Mercyful Fate), drummer Ronny Milianowicz and by then unknown guitarist Alexi Laiho (from Children of Bodom). |

| | On guitars, one Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) and Roope Latvala (ex-Waltari). | | | Alexi, bless his evil heart, even manages to do some vocals on the track "Shadow Island" - any fan of COB will enjoy this mix that includes Kim doing some more operatic movements whilst also matching Alexi's aggression. | | | The band also continue with the Fourth World theme, this time with "Passage To The Fourth World" and the album finishes off with a basic piano piece that does nothing for the album just because it is so out of place and too short. |

| | Alexi while remaining a decent guitarist is just way over rated, and seems to have stopped caring about musical quality. | | | Those who think that he is cool guitarist were not on Children Of Bodom concerts. | | | On the other hand I think Death only improved with each release, like they evolved as musicians and felt the need to show it. |

| | Kimberly Goss has contributed backing vocals to several bands over the past few years (Ancient, Dimmu Borgir and Avernus at least), but Sinergy is her band, led by guitarist (and now husband) Alexi Laiho of Children Of Bodom. | | | The band originated as a project led by Goss and then-guitarist Jesper Strömblad, and the first album still had a project feel to it, but with Goss' move to Finland some time later, the project became a full-time band. |

| | Review: Sinergy-Beware the heavens |
| | Though the music is mostly great, Laiho (vocalist/guitarist of Children of Bodom) and Strömblad (guitarist of In Flames) are both some of the most talented guitarists I know, at least in the death metal genre. | | | Sinergy is a power metal project involving non-power metal musicians only, Jesper Strömblad from In Flames (but also HammerFall hmm..), Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom, Sharlee D'Angelo from Mercyful Fate and a chick on vocals who apparently have been into bands such as Dimmu Borgir and Therion. | | | It isn't as great as you expect though, Kimberly Goss (girlfriend of Laiho) isn't the greatest female vocalist I've heard - I dunno what it is, but mostly she sings so unclear that it's hard to make out the words but it could be that the guitars are drowning her voice also. |

| | Children of Bodom’s Alexi Laiho hails from Finland, the suicide capitol of the world, and he named his band after one of the most infamous mass murders in Scandinavian history. | | | Laiho has good reason to revel: COB’s fourth full-length, Hate Crew Deathroll (Century Media), has taken the band’s neck-snapping, keyboard-happy death/thrash hybrid to new heights and has sent the group on a cross-country trek with Fear Factory and Lamb of God. | | | So it’s a surprise to find that the vocalist and heralded guitarist is actually something of a party animal. |
