User Album Review
Hexed presents its ideals promptly. There is no easing into what this record has to offer. However, it does not feel rushed. There is a natural pace to this record, making it comfortable to listen to. Just not too comfortable for it’s or the listeners own good.
Right out of the gate, opening track “This Road” sets the tone with technical guitar riffs and rhythmic precision. It is delightfully upbeat but still heavy enough to grab you by the neck. It was inspired by years of touring and life always on the go, according to Laiho.
“Hexed” is the consummate title track. Strong, energetic and ready to make you put your fist in the air. The blast beats are right on point here and it is just an enjoyable track overall. “Knucklebuster” is a uniquely titled song, and it isn’t without spunk either. Syncopated drums mingle with metronomic rhythms while carrying smoking guitar riffs. Some of the best guitar work is contained here. Laiho’s masterful skills are very present.
It’s clear that Children of Bodom have hit a new stride. With a history of gradual but noticeable directional shifts, the band should be proud of it's newest venture. Hexed seems to have accomplished nearly everything that it set out to do. A rejuvenated style and sound was definitely the key. There’s no doubt that fans will be into this album. It may even bring in some new ones as well. Hopefully, this marks the beginning of a great chapter in the band’s career.
