- A tribute to our friend and hero, Alexi Laiho. You will not be forgotten.
This tribute was put together by my good friend, Chris Themelco (Vocals / Rhythm Guitar / Drums), owner of "Monolith Studios" and front-man of the excellent Aussie Melodeath band, Orpheus Omega! Please give that man some love and subscribe to his channel because he thoroughly deserves it: / monolithstudiosmelbourne
The same goes for Owen Gallagher for laying down those outrageous keys! (also the keyboardist from Orpheus Omega:

Drums were recorded at Echidna Studios.
Mixed by Chris at Monolith Studios.

He was also my idol. Still unable to play most of his solos. Rip Alexi, could not even watch him alive.
Alexi would be proud 🥲. And let’s not forget he was only about 20 years old when he wrote that song ....and all of ‘Follow the Reaper’ album.
Kissing the shadows was also an afterthought not originally Intended for that record. If I remember correctly Alexi said they finished recording all the tracks for follow the reaper early. They decided to write & record one more track to toss on the record just to make use of the studio time and not waste it. I was 14 in 2000 and discovered COB with follow the reaper. Im 34 now and have been playing guitar for 21 years. It still blows my mind that, one of the absolute greatest pieces of guitar playing ever recorded was created and recorded essentially on the spot just because... "we have studio time to kill so let's just see what happens" Words don't exist that can describe how legendary, influential, and important Alexi and his contributions to metal and guitar playing truly are
@@k7j007 true that. I saw them live 11 times from 2003 to 2014, and the excitement NEVER faded. Still hasn’t, and I’m 36y/o. The band itself is legendary, with Alexi at the forefront.
@@benthomas8765 Thats awesome man I bet those are some kickass memories of good times. Unfortunately I never got to see them live and they were always the #1 band on my "Must see" list. For whatever reason they never played a gig close enough for me to make it. Its a bummer knowing Ill never see those dudes live but Ive got nothing to be upset about. They left a killer catalog of records, one of the sickest live DVD's of all time and tons of other cool stuff that we will always have. HUGE thanks to COB for killing it for well over the last 20 years and leaving behind a legendary legacy for the fans
@@k7j007 I am the same age, brother! Got into CoB the the previous year with Hatebreeder.
@@FacelessWarrior86 That's awesome bro! I'm still crushed about what happened to Alexi and thats probably something that won't go away anytime soon. But it has been awesome to see how many people found the band when they were 13-14 years old and roughly between 99'-01' and til this day still love the band and Alexi. Rock on Brother
he was the reason why i started playing guitar a loooong time ago. still cant do most of his solos, but one day... :) rip alexi!
He was the reason why I started playing solos, sweeps and so on. Actually, my main inspiration and guitar teacher.
69
Yeah, shit seems impossible
Still not sure how alexi played that lead and did vocals at the same time. They often played at higher tempo live too. Madness.
raw talent
Practise
It was a rhetorical non-question.
@@ThaBeatConductor your face is an existential riddle
@@frysebox1 The smaller it is, the more funny it is.
To this day I still claim that this is the best song CoB has ever made!
Really well done, guys. To those that didn’t know, I heard that this was a “filler” track written last minute in the studio and whacked on the end of the album. When the best (or one of the best) song on the album was written last minute you know it was the product of raw talent and creativity.
this is a nice fun fact, Kissing the Shadows belongs to my Top 5 CoB Songs, never imagined, that it could be a filler track :)
It goes without saying that my good friend, Chris Themelco, put 90% of this together. Please show him some love - Chris is one talented dude and deserves way more subs!

Thanks guys.. 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
That's an amazing way to honor the legacy of Alexi. Incredibly sad to see him go so young, but I couldn't think of a better person to make a cover in his honor. Awesome job!
Kissing The Shadows is my fav COB songs
FUCK. YES. On the Jackson too! How many chimneys are you cleaning with all those sweepz?. RIP Alexi!
he is simulating
This is one of my favourite COB songs EVER. Fucking epic rendition. Chris Themelco is awesome lol -- as is everyone else. Slayin'.
Well-done guys. You didn't cover, you just make it real. I think 29 dislikes are come from kids who were roaming fathers' playlists.
10 out of 10. 🏆
Everytime I ear👂 this solo I come. And Still like this in 2021....
Same here!
I dug out my Bodom albums. Still gives me goosebumps. Such a loss.
Some people can shred like crazy but you can see them having a hard time doing it but these guys played with such ease, it gave me chillz ❤❤❤ Alexi would have been proud 🤘
Thanks so much 🙏
Best cover of the song I have seen ever on RUclips. And I have been around forever. That solo was spot on. Not too much improvised, just how a cover should be. Props guys
This might be the best cover of A song I've seen on RUclips.
Just fucking amazing. I still can't believe our man is out. I'll never forget the face-melt hearing this for the first time. This song, WinAmp, me bashing my head against my Jackson Kelly and metronome sums up that year. Also was the title of my hotmail address... classic. Some people dream in music, some people can play music, others do it relentlessly regardless, but Alexi uniquely managed to do all three. Work and party ethic of a maniac and talent of a god at an impossibly young age. RIP!
Dude... THIS 100%!!
This has to be one of the hardest songs of C.O.B as well of all the heavy metal songs.
Look at the crazy composition. I cannot even begin to process how Alexi and his bandmates came up with this song's idea in the first place.
R.I.P Alexi
*You will always be a legend for us*
Absolutely Fantastic performance guys. 🤘
yep, such a talent. and to think he was writing this at just 21!
He actually wrote it in studio because they needed another song for the album
that guitar tone
It's simple I see a cob cover I like
Super solo, i think, the awesome solo in heavy metall, in 10 top best solo
Awesome cover. RIP Alexi
Nailed it
My friend showed me bodom way back when we were in high school. He was the best guitar player I knew. He died a short time after Alexi died. RIP Dennis and Alexi
So sorry for your loss Steve.. RIP Dennis ❤🤘
RIP Alexi Laiho your music is in our hearts! I love and listen COB since 2008. Russian metalheads love Finish metal so much!
Legend andy is here❤️❤️❤️
Well done guys.
The Reaper would approve
Thanks for that cover man I'm so sad about Laiho's death, you and Laiho are among my favorite guitar players of all time so you covering one of his song is just wholesome
Wow, that Pathologic post with the keyborder player though.
a year later I randomly see this comment
I refuse to elaborate on my favorite terrible boring best game ever made 😅
Impressive cover, but could not expect least from talents like this. This singer murdered the vocals.
P. I. P. Alexi........ Сыграно достойно ребята молодцы!!!!
Andyyy! You Goonie! ❤
Guitar Solo dude is insane. And that is one lovely V guitar.
