Children of Bodom are one of those bands I’d classify as “consistently reliable.” Sure, some of their material is better than the rest, but by and large, you pretty much always know what you’re getting into with COB.

So it’s no surprise that the band’s new song, “Banned from Heaven,” sounds exactly like pretty much every other COB song, ever. Not that there’s anything wrong with that: we happen to like COB a whole lot here at MetalSucks. In fact, our website was conceived at a COB/Amon Amarth show, so we have a soft spot for ‘em.

“Banned from Heaven” comes from the band’s forthcoming Blooddrunk. You can hear it at COB’s MySpace page.
