"Downfall" The night of timeless fire is drawing near I flee... Throughout the years of throe Watching through a mirror, as I fall apart I see a wreck, I'm burning I see angels burning, falling down in ruins Looking down I see me, I'm my own enemy Watching myself decaying, falling from high spirits I flee... Throughout the ruins of me Longing for finding my way out Leaving myself, there's nothing left for me The ruins are about to crumble down. The flame is dying by shivery winds of jet black skies It reflects hatred in my eyes I see angels burning, falling down in ruins Looking down I see my ashes scattered around my grave Angels whispering fire, no longer I'm alive Settled down I'm done with the trip to my kingdom come

I spent my teenage years listening to an insane amount of COB. That and At The Gates. My best friends would all pile into the car after school and I would crank COB's Everytime I Die on these cheap ass wal mart 8" speakers in my trunk and we would just row the windows down and blast it as we left school. Those were the days ;) 20 years ago. I listen to COB because my best friend passed away 2022 and he would play all kinds of COB and was quite the player. We all grew up listening to Jason Becker, Michael Romeo and Yngwie Malmsteen. Listening to this music makes me my best friend so much. RIP Alexi

*Alexi Laiho Forever in our hearts Rest in peace!* I woke up this morning and the day struck me with the sad news that my favorite guitarist Alexi Laiho has passed away. One of the best guitarists of all time and my biggest musical influence. I remember one afternoon in 2008 when I listened to them for the first time, I didn't pay as much attention to it as when I listened to two albums again in 2011, I had started playing guitar for two years. Hearing the solo from "Children Of Decandence", I was amazed and repeated the guitar solo over and over again, I passed up every song from the album Hatebreeder and Follow The Reaper and said, "What I've been missing all this time" Alexi Laiho marked my beginnings and saved my life musically. When I formed my first band I called it "Hatebreeder" after one of his albums, which is not missing from my playlist wherever it is. I have so much to tell about my fascination with this artist and his music that I couldn't finish today. I could never see him play live, I dreamed of him and a few months ago, and just yesterday I was looking for a Jackson Flying V guitar. Because I've always wanted to play his songs on one of those guitars, because it was on them that he wrote his best music. Goodbye master, I hope to see you in the afterlife! ❤🖤 Children Of Bodom / Bodom After Midnight

Alexi, may your soul rest in peace! He was an inspiration for many many guitarrists, and his playing and song writing was absolutely fenomenal.
