Not a single song of this band to disappoint. Children Of Bodom was a group of people that worked together, but Alexi was the one who created it, leaded it and worked his ass out, slept at the rehearsal and sacrificed his health and life for it. I went to his grave and it was covered with gifts of his fans. People loved him. Alexi was down on earth, he never raised his head, never considered himself better. The person I respected the most in my life. And nothing will change that. Rest in peace WildChild, sleep well, your legacy will live with your Hate Crew.
Holding the key to my darkened past She’s spinning with voices lost in past The memory too disturbed She’s a story that'll never end You’re a two studded chain, a tear in my soul She'll fly away with me when all said and done But now she’s gone I don’t believe in faith The art of finding love Refuse to let this cut me deep Now to make her pay Left to feel so numb Yes, you may cut me again But I mark these words with a blade That I’ll find you once again, Morrigan! She’s the coming of my demise In every way, seen her alluring disguise A six-foot tall bloody, jet-black scythe Is all that’s with me with the things I’ve done Because she’s gone I don’t believe in faith The art of finding love Refuse to let this cut me deep Now to make her pay Left to feel so numb Yes, you may cut me again But I mark these words with a blade That I’ll find you once again, Morrigan! I ain't gonna leave from the post, so stay On the way, get away from the twilight's scream I refuse to let this cut me deep I refuse to let this cut me deep! I don’t believe in faith The art of finding love Refuse to let this cut me deep Now to make her pay Left to feel so numb Yes, you may cut me again But I mark these words with a blade That I'll find you once again, Morrigan!
This song is one of COB's absolute best, along with Every Time I Die. I'm learning to play it on guitar, but listening to Janne on keyboards is seriously making me want a piano course refresher.
Чем больше смотрю и слушаю COB. Тем больше осознаю , насколько талантливая и неординарная в музыкальном плане - команда.!!🤘🤘 Жаль что при жизни Алекси, я не познакомился с их творчеством.
Alexi Laiho rest in peace my friend. You were an amazing guitarist and songwriter and inspired countless people to learn and play guitar. I'm not sure how you died but I'm guessing way too much alcohol. I hope that you are in a great place and still writing songs.
Как же я любила и люблю эту команду! Сколько раз они вытягивали меня из депрессии! Мне очень не хватает тебя и твоей музыки,дорогой брат Алекси! Покойся с миром...
Rest in peace brother. You were truly an inspiration to me when I was learning to play the guitar years ago. You will be missed, From all of your fans to you....Rock on in heaven my dude!!!
Me siento raro y devastado, el era mi artista favorito desde niño lo escuchaba y hasta había ido a uno de sus conciertos pero espero que estés bien donde sea que estes querido amigo🤟🖤🕊
Starring in the video: Morrigan: Fanny (international model) Our Hero: Viktor Larson (MMA fighter) The Demon: Otman Boujrad (Thai boxer) Patric told us the video is about "a man stepping into a dark place where the demons of the past are taking over his life and he becomes a prisoner of his own mind."
Awesome vid. With an awesome message which is a bit too tricky to figure out. (Not sure i did but still i'll pretend) Morrigan is Irish war goddes as far as google knows. That guy probably is an ex military, having nighmares (probably remembering what he saw/done at war) where he fights death in most violent brawl. (which is awesomly filmed - cause i am tired of that metaphoric skeletal death just taking one's life away. What we see is a death you can/have to fight - which is quite a new way to picture death. And i absolutely love it.) As far as i get he's suffering PTSD. To feel that thing you'd better see movies like american sniper or hurt locker (both i consider to be crappy american patriotic propaganda but still they let you feel the thing). Long sotry short - he's not comfortable living a civilian life. All emotions he has are about war and into war. Then Morrigan comes (not the dragon age chick but the Irish goddes, relax kids). She's also a crow. She leads him somwhere far away - sands, forest.. Use you imagination. Dunno, afghan, iraq - does not matter. Probably the same place he was fighting death in a dream. There he meets death again. He fights - and wins - cause Morrigan's on his side and in his heart. You can also see it as he's in love with Morrigan (aka war). To me this is the best and deepest vid COB ever made. They manage to tell the story and drama without actually showing it. Awesome song. Awesome vid. Thx guys!
+Mikhail Koshelev He also has that "fuck cancer" tatoo on his side. With a protrait above (at first i thought it was Kennedy but it seems this is someone else - i did not reognize the person). There's also that date - 17 dec 1960. Can't figure out what's that referring to and does this have any relation to the vid )) Probably just actor's tatoo ))
+Pedro Netto I think this is quite a nice way to metaphorically show war. Modern war means you often don't even see an enemy before you die. Just some random artillery strike, thrown mine or a semi auto burst from somwhere afar. A bullet of sniper you never see. Fighting death means throwing all you have into staying alive. It's a fight with youselft i think. And it's quite a dramatic metaphor cause fight with death is not the one you can win. Best you have is just some time before another round. Stabbing death in the end is probably about showing the help of morrigan - goddess of war. That stick represents her help here. And it probably means that without her help he'd die there. Which in turn i think means him succumbing to the bloodthirst, losing some portion of humanity and becoming the real dog of war.
Magix Most people come here curious about both the video and the music. Nowadays artists use "lyrics videos" for the music. I don't need to prove anything just read the comments, apparently most of the people did "stare at the video". You and xx xxx missed entirely the point of an artist actually making a video representation for their music. If my "response" was the dumbest one you've seen in a year you clearly don't read your own comments.
Seriously though most of us do watch the video, I enjoy the music but I want to see what the fuck the video is all about... its the fucking video for the song lol
Thanks for all your legacy left for us, crazy and freak lovers of metal... of quality metal... This is a thing that just a big, enormous, tremendous icon like you could bring us.. the riff, the empowerment, the force of your energy will never ever be forgotten!! R.I.P LEGEND, ICON!! Thaks one more time for everything you made us behold and admire...
Most of you who criticize the video have no actual understanding of who Morrigan actually was. There is folklore about her that would explain some of the scenes and intention of the video.
The Morgan is one of my favorite goddesses folklore some of the most amazing stories it's a shame there's not very many of them there is but there isn't
Jamila Andersson me too, i love CoB. Alexi is a good guitarist a good singer and is very very beautiful man. I am sorry i speak little english. I am french
A lot of people care about the vid as it shows what cannot be said nor sang andit goes both ways. The lyrics says what cannot be shiwn and the video like i said, shows what cannot be said adding a more profound experience and gravity to the while story.
@@drdeath4870 Yes the video shows what can not be said..adding a more profound experience and gravity to the while story!!! I wish you a great lovely nice weekend and health and happiness for You, take care and keep in rocking:-)♥ \m/
@@auroreetsquat1533 hey dear Aurore..nice meeting you here:-) Yeah It's Awesome and I Love COB wow ♥ Yes no doubt about that Alexi is fantastic. .a great amazing vocalist singer player and look very handsome! Their music songs and albums are Excellent ♥ I Love You COB!!!! Have seen You playing live here in Sweden. .and that was damn AWESOME \m/♥!!!! Wish You dear Aurore a lovely wonderful weekend for You and All the Best:-)♥ Take care
Probably my single favorite video of all time. And especially awesome to me as a Mage the Ascension player; it perfectly encapsulates the idea of a battle being waged across multiple realities at once, with our character battling depression in his dreary apartment, *and* trekking across the desert in search of his raven spirit guide, AND battling the Grim Reaper hand-to-hand in a storm-wracked gray spirit realm, all at the same time. Plus god DAMN I wish I could look half as good as that dude.
To explain the Video. The main actor has had some kind of traumatic experience. He fights his suicidal form/death with his normal form on a psychic stage. I do not know why, but he has a connection to the Helvetic Goddess of war, Morrighan, who comes to his aid, as he fights is own darkness and pain away.
Alexi Laiho himself stated that the meaning of the song is this: "It's about a guy who falls in love with a goddess from the underworld. It's a very dark and twisted love song. For the video, we went big, playing out the storyline in a striking landscape with three main characters: Morrigan, the mortal man in love with her, and his inner demon. Something you should know about Morrigan: she's a shapeshifter who is known to take the form of a crow. The story is about a man stepping into a dark place where the demons of the past are taking over his life and he becomes a prisoner of his own mind. He doesn't know where to go; it feels like he is drowning and falling into the abyss. The desert represents his empty existence and he desperately wants to get out. When he does get out, he needs to confront his biggest enemy, his demon inside. He engages in battle and just when you think he can't win, just when you think evil will take over, Morrigan saves his life. She gives him the tools to conquer his fears and destroy his enemy. But does the help he gets from her come with a price? You decide. We had the privilege to work with the talented pro MMA fighter Viktor Larson to play our lead character and he did a fantastic job - just back from Thailand and a big win in the MMA world. Otman Boujrad from the Swedish National Thai boxing team did the role as the inner demon. These two guys did a fantastic job. As Morrigan we had the international model that goes under the name Fanny."
Am I watching the same video as some of you? I thought it was awesome. Great special effects, and the action sequences weren't bad either. Music videos are not movies, and don't have to make 100% sense from beginning to end.Great song as well.
This is actually pretty fantastic! Bodom lost me for a bit there. Halo of Blood was good but this album seems to have focused much more on song writing. Love the production as well!
be witb COB three times in Chile. 2021, waiting for new songs and of course news concerts . 2021 was bastard. My brain and heart its broken, now i understand my dad and mom, when they listen their favorite music and getting back in time. THNX wild child, your music its a machine for remembers. THNX for give back a new metal and new bands and new metal generation!. Forever hate crew!.
maybe the first thing to say should not be "But I mark these words with a Blade that I'll find you once again Morrigan" but i dont know, iám single not an expert lol
i saw children of Bodom, ensiferum and Medeia 10.12.2015 in Seinäjoki Finland. Nice finnish winter evening, beer and fine finnish metal music :-) Nothing is better than that!!
I liked it right off the bat but how come more COB fans don't like Soilwork. As far as Melodic death is concerned these guys Soilwork, In Flames,& Insomnium are the real deal.
Me neither but than I got into that song deliverance. Holy shit it's a masterpiece. The new album Sorceress is really good too. Hey if you get a chance check out my freinds Candiria they are amazing. They have a new album while they were sleeping on Metal blade. You seem too like talent. Think you will like both those bands. BTBAM are my favorite
Morrigan and A Prayer for the Afflicted are Masterful!! *The Intro / Verse riffs, & Solo in 'Morrigan' are as iconic as the likes of - Lake Bodom, chokehold, children of decadence, Silent night Bodom night, kissing the shadows, towards dead end, etc.!!* How u guys managed to merge mainstream type metal and melodic death metal into something as much of a masterpiece as 'Morrigan', it was astounding to me!! Although still with a different sound.. it was just as masterful & impressive as the early CoB to me... AND That's Alexi and CoB for u!! I knew they wasn't selling out for good when the BloodDrunk release was underwhelming and worrying to hear the change in sound / style... So, I hear Morrigan & it was like i heard 'Lake Bodom' all over again for the first time and immediately became a Children of Bodom fan!! I immediately went & got all of the albums i skipped over - (Relentless Reckless Forever, Halo of Blood, and I worship Chaos) and couldn't wait for what came out next!! Then life struck in a bad way shortly after Hexed... I was and still am torn up... We lost a Legend, and I will never hear a new Riff, lyric, or song from Alexi.... RIP Alexi Laiho - Although, The Best Metal Guitar winning Legend & G.O.A.T. will ultimately live on forever!
Dear Alexi Laiho, your songs and melodies will live forever in our souls. Rest in music, wildchild. 🖤

First time listened to Hatebeeder 1999
, i was sold
💔🖤 all day everyday i miss Alexi like he was my brother
💔
Rest in peace Alexi! You will be missed.
Morrigan is the Celtic goddess of war in case anybody is wondering
Morrigan is Alexi laihos love she’s with Thanatos
Thank you! So many people have asked me what this song is about and I got tired of explaining it.
What I was getting from the video is a fight within are selfs and she helps out
She is also apprently the slaughterer of men. Thats what brittanica says anyways....
War, battle, fate, fear, terror, death. Depends if you're referring to the Morrigan or the Morrigana Badb, Macha, and Anand
A moment of silence for their songwriting skills. This song is a fuckin masterpiece.
🤘👍
🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘❤
Moment of blasting CoB, for Alexi🤟🤟🤟🤟
And yes, this is masterpiece
ALEXI LAIHO is one reason why i become a metalhead
Rest in Power, LEGENDS...
COB turned me into a metalhead.
Same here ❤️
"...but I'll mark these words with a blade that'll find you once again...
Morrigan"
I hope that you have found her, Alexi!
Jeez man that made me tear up
@@salemslot8297 I feel ya.
Who is he talking abt? I dont think its kimberly
R.I.P Alexi, we'll miss you...😭🤘
R.I.P Master Of Guitar, we will always remember you forever
I can listen to this song a thousand times and never get fed up, thanks Alexi, RIP :(
This song has one of the most unique and catchy riffs I’ve ever heard.
I agree, but which one did you mean specifically? Imo it's the pre-chorus riff
fuck yea❤
This one and Soon Departed, both super catchy riffs to them imo.
RIP Alexi... This would have to be my favorite song of theirs
R. I. P. Guitar and vocal Master! 🙏🏼🎶🎸❤️🤘🏼😢
I just really miss Alexi... My buddy showed me Hatebreeder in 99 when I was 15... Fell in love with the band. Will never forget Alexi.
rest in peace with your darkened past, Alexi Laiho!
Goodbye Alexi. Thank you so much for gifting the world for your music
Not a single song of this band to disappoint. Children Of Bodom was a group of people that worked together, but Alexi was the one who created it, leaded it and worked his ass out, slept at the rehearsal and sacrificed his health and life for it.

Holding the key to my darkened past
She’s spinning with voices lost in past
The memory too disturbed
She’s a story that'll never end
You’re a two studded chain, a tear in my soul
She'll fly away with me when all said and done
But now she’s gone
I don’t believe in faith
The art of finding love
Refuse to let this cut me deep
Now to make her pay
Left to feel so numb
Yes, you may cut me again
But I mark these words with a blade
That I’ll find you once again, Morrigan!
She’s the coming of my demise
In every way, seen her alluring disguise
A six-foot tall bloody, jet-black scythe
Is all that’s with me with the things I’ve done
Because she’s gone
I don’t believe in faith
The art of finding love
Refuse to let this cut me deep
Now to make her pay
Left to feel so numb
Yes, you may cut me again
But I mark these words with a blade
That I’ll find you once again, Morrigan!
I ain't gonna leave from the post, so stay
On the way, get away from the twilight's scream
I refuse to let this cut me deep
I refuse to let this cut me deep!
I don’t believe in faith
The art of finding love
Refuse to let this cut me deep
Now to make her pay
Left to feel so numb
Yes, you may cut me again
But I mark these words with a blade
That I'll find you once again, Morrigan!
Thank Goddess I had to scroll for ages to find this
Thanks!
RIP Alexi, you left so early...thanks for the music!
Forever children of bodom 😢😢😢
Thank you for the Childhood, Alexi. Rest in Peace :(
Спасибо за все тебе Алекси. Пусть где ты сейчас твоя гитара никогда не умолкнет и тебе будет хорошо!!! Вечная память ЛЕГЕНДЕ и ГИТАРНОМУ ГЕРОЮ!!!

Will be tears in eyes as i listen to this! rest in peace Alexi!
Rest In Peace Alexi. . .thanks for the music and good times you provided :(

Жаль что при жизни Алекси, я не познакомился с их творчеством.
Alexi Laiho rest in peace my friend. You were an amazing guitarist and songwriter and inspired countless people to learn and play guitar. I'm not sure how you died but I'm guessing way too much alcohol. I hope that you are in a great place and still writing songs.
Как же я любила и люблю эту команду! Сколько раз они вытягивали меня из депрессии! Мне очень не хватает тебя и твоей музыки,дорогой брат Алекси! Покойся с миром...
Покойся с миром
как говорится, я рад что вырос под его песни, а не под современную херь
Imo this song has one of the best riffs i ever heard, its possibly one of the best CoB songs accually they ever released.
Rest in peace brother. You were truly an inspiration to me when I was learning to play the guitar years ago. You will be missed, From all of your fans to you....Rock on in heaven my dude!!!
Красивая мелодия композиции. Алекси - талант.

Lol someone give that person a fucking beer this dude earned it.

Hahaha

Me siento raro y devastado, el era mi artista favorito desde niño lo escuchaba y hasta había ido a uno de sus conciertos pero espero que estés bien donde sea que estes querido amigo🤟🖤🕊
Rest in peace Alexi 😥 what a year starting!!
I love the fierce screaming of the guitar in the build-up to the solo, sounds like a crow's warcry.
Starring in the video:
Morrigan: Fanny (international model)
Our Hero: Viktor Larson (MMA fighter)
The Demon: Otman Boujrad (Thai boxer)
Patric told us the video is about "a man stepping into a dark place where the demons of the past are taking over his life and he becomes a prisoner of his own mind."

Long sotry short - he's not comfortable living a civilian life. All emotions he has are about war and into war.
Then Morrigan comes (not the dragon age chick but the Irish goddes, relax kids). She's also a crow.
She leads him somwhere far away - sands, forest.. Use you imagination. Dunno, afghan, iraq - does not matter. Probably the same place he was fighting death in a dream.
There he meets death again. He fights - and wins - cause Morrigan's on his side and in his heart.
You can also see it as he's in love with Morrigan (aka war).
To me this is the best and deepest vid COB ever made. They manage to tell the story and drama without actually showing it.
Awesome song. Awesome vid.
Thx guys!
+Mikhail Koshelev He also has that "fuck cancer" tatoo on his side. With a protrait above (at first i thought it was Kennedy but it seems this is someone else - i did not reognize the person).
There's also that date - 17 dec 1960.
Can't figure out what's that referring to and does this have any relation to the vid )) Probably just actor's tatoo ))
+Mikhail Koshelev It's the same thing i was thinking! without knowing what this Morrigan represents.
+Mikhail Koshelev
But why the Hell is the guy fighting Death?! And what does it mean to stab Death?! Doesnt make any sense!
+Pedro Netto I think this is quite a nice way to metaphorically show war. Modern war means you often don't even see an enemy before you die. Just some random artillery strike, thrown mine or a semi auto burst from somwhere afar. A bullet of sniper you never see.
Fighting death means throwing all you have into staying alive. It's a fight with youselft i think.
And it's quite a dramatic metaphor cause fight with death is not the one you can win. Best you have is just some time before another round.

Which in turn i think means him succumbing to the bloodthirst, losing some portion of humanity and becoming the real dog of war.
+Mikhail Koshelev sounds like you got the nail right on the head there buddy. I think that's an accurate idea
It breaks my heart every time I hear his voice
Another classic from COB, love it

Forever in my heart :(
I've discovered this band with this song, and i fucking like it, it's just really beautiful I love this riff it's perfect for me

Flips coin in well, I ask for the return of this band
In 10 albums they didn't never give up..

Beautiful music!
R.I.P my dear Alexi ;(
Прекрасная работа АЛЕКСИ!
I wish they would have played more of this 0:49 . Sounds awesome.
...And that's how it feels to ask out a girl for the first time
That's it. Take you like good man :v 👍
maybe the first thing to say should not be "But I mark these words with a
Blade that I'll find you once again
Morrigan" but i dont know, iám single not an expert lol
i saw children of Bodom, ensiferum and Medeia 10.12.2015 in Seinäjoki Finland. Nice finnish winter evening, beer and fine finnish metal music :-) Nothing is better than that!!
The Best band that I've ever known
Posso dizer que foi uns dos melhores guitarra que já tive o prazer ouvir, banda perfeita,
Children of Darude - Sandstorm (?.
+SomeGuy Hahahahaha
+SomeGuy Took me 30 secs. to look your comment and laugh!
+SomeGuy Children of Darude - I worship sandstorm
Alexi rocks Children of Bodom is the best band of the world
i hear Children of bodom 7 years ago... and hear the tape today
I liked it right off the bat but how come more COB fans don't like Soilwork. As far as Melodic death is concerned these guys Soilwork, In Flames,& Insomnium are the real deal.
Dark Tranquillity Too
You like Opeth?
Me neither but than I got into that song deliverance. Holy shit it's a masterpiece. The new album Sorceress is really good too. Hey if you get a chance check out my freinds Candiria they are amazing. They have a new album while they were sleeping on Metal blade. You seem too like talent. Think you will like both those bands. BTBAM are my favorite
Sorry You're forgetting Amon Amarth and Dark Tranquillity lol
Taylor Winiger Arch Enemy and Omnium Gatherum too lol
Amazing work by COB and Patrick Ulleaus!
2:52 "The Raven Flies Alone"
Morrigan and A Prayer for the Afflicted are Masterful!! *The Intro / Verse riffs, & Solo in 'Morrigan' are as iconic as the likes of - Lake Bodom, chokehold, children of decadence, Silent night Bodom night, kissing the shadows, towards dead end, etc.!!*
How u guys managed to merge mainstream type metal and melodic death metal into something as much of a masterpiece as 'Morrigan', it was astounding to me!! Although still with a different sound.. it was just as masterful & impressive as the early CoB to me... AND That's Alexi and CoB for u!! I knew they wasn't selling out for good when the BloodDrunk release was underwhelming and worrying to hear the change in sound / style...
So, I hear Morrigan & it was like i heard 'Lake Bodom' all over again for the first time and immediately became a Children of Bodom fan!! I immediately went & got all of the albums i skipped over - (Relentless Reckless Forever, Halo of Blood, and I worship Chaos) and couldn't wait for what came out next!!
Then life struck in a bad way shortly after Hexed... I was and still am torn up... We lost a Legend, and I will never hear a new Riff, lyric, or song from Alexi.... RIP Alexi Laiho - Although, The Best Metal Guitar winning Legend & G.O.A.T. will ultimately live on forever!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXI LAIHO! /,,/

Great song!!
Rest in power Alexi 🌹🤟🎶🤟

Legends never die! Rest in Peace Alexi Laiho
Play this at 1.25 speed and hear what it would have sounded like on Hatebreeder/Follow The Reaper
Agreed. Sounds sick at 1.25 lol
o shit i like that version
thanks that sounds better
True. Soon cob will sound like a Black Metal band
OMG this is so true :D
To a casual but at times avid listener, such relatable lyrics, such catchy lyrics, such 'we wish we had known at the time' lyrics.
Lucky dude that he's the star on COB's new video. \m/
I liked them since they came out!
He was the randy Rhodes of this generation
My thoughts exactly. Very fitting, that he also played a Rhoads shaped guitar.
He based his ESP Scythe guitar after Randy's Jackson Concorde with the stripes
Kevyet mullat. Susta tuli legenda muiden joukkoon. Joku päivä juodaan oluet kunhan mä ehdin sinne!
1.25 speeeeed
yes i love it. Sound and
emotional to feelling amazing.King band!
