Dopo il fantastico "Hatebreeder" e lo sperimentale "Follow The Reaper", nel 2002 tornano i Children Of Bodom, band power metal finlandese con "Hate Crew Deathroll". Se già in "Follow The Reaper" c'erano stati dei cambiamenti stilistici (comunque ottimi), la stessa storia si ripete qui ed a mio parere questo va lodato.
Si inizia con Needled 24/7, canzone molto bella e forse la migliore dell'intero disco, si continua con Sixpounder e si arriva a Bodom Beach Terror, la quale è introdotta da un ottimo riff stile trash. La quarta traccia è, almeno per me, la miglior canzone dell'album, Angels Don't Kill, un brano assolutamente delizioso che dimostra come i COB non abbiano bisogno di spaccare al massimo per fare belle canzoni. Nelle tracce successive, Triple Corpse Hammerblow e You're Better Off Dead, abbiamo delle influenze trash che rendono i due brani molto belli. A concludere l'album ci pensano Lil'bloodred Ridin'hood, la canzone omonima del disco e la cover Silent Screm (inutile dire di chi è!). Giungendo alle conclusioni, Hate Crew Deathroll dimostra ancora una volta come la band non voglia rimanere uguale agli inizi,aggiungendo in ogni album caratteristiche che rendono i dischi ancora più piacevoli da ascoltare.
Per chi adora la band finlandese,al primo ascolto potrebbe rimanere spiazzato, ma garantisco che, sentendolo più volte, non si può che apprezzare la quarta fatica dei COB. Da avere.

01 Needled 24/7 (04:08)
Since day one I've been crass and far beyond.
I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry...
Before you gauge me, take a look at yourself.
Condescending, outlivin' in a lie..
Despite all the pain in my heart grinding through,
It ain't due that you hate that I hate what you do
Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far,
A backstabbing motherfucker to the bone is what you are
And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,
Then again it's like being needled 24/7
You look down to me to see the scum of the earth to be.
Fuck you , that's me, vile and obscene.
I ain't happy about it but at least I don't judge and decree
to be better than another human being.
And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,
Then again it's like being needled 24/7
Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far,
Hey, would somebody tell me what the fuck is going on?
And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,
Then again it's like being needled 24/7

"Death?
What do you know about death...?"
02 Sixpounder (03:24)
Can you say what you can't do
In darkness of the eyes
The wrecking voice stain mirror
Awaiting the first sixpounder
I wanna show you battle
That's how the pain really is
A little piss to bring you down
Like a spark resist you
Pounder!
War!
I refuse to be brought down by you
Praise is far away from what you do
Not only are you cranking up my rage
I'm ready to blow you away...666 (pounder)
Hey, what you said, that darkest time
I try to live all right
Little bits remain from you
That you try to persuade me by
Load the sixpounder!
Can you say what you can't do?
In darkness of the eyes
A little piss, to bring you down
Like a spark resist you
Pounder!
War!
War!
I refuse to be brought down by you
Praise is far away from what you do
Not only are you cranking up my rage
I'm ready to blow you away...666
03 Chokehold (Cocked 'n' Loaded) (04:12)
Minefield is called the place I'm living in,
Carefully watching each and every step I take
Bright white straight jacket chokes me off
My eyes are tired...
I... feel the cold steel on my forehead
Like... binding pleasure of being dead
Downward future! I descend...
Counterblast!
And chokehold til' the end...
I'm flushed like the booze I hammer down,
like a piece of trash to be kicked all around.
When would be a time for a better day?
My cocked 'n' loaded soulmate leads the way
06 Triple Corpse Hammerblow (04:06)
Like I said, I'm ready to go
Ease my pain desire
Last night I begged to god
Light my heart to fire
Let me pour some taste down
See my last silent pain desire
Let me take a last breath
Before I saw, blind my eyes
Triple corpse hammerblow
Triple corpse hammerblow
Don't push me...
Don't push me...
Don't push me!
Let it trust my great vow
Life goes away faster
Let it trust the meaning
Like life it was way before
Move away the blow out
Like it was by silent Bodom
The way it feels, like it feel before
How you feel, feel before!
Triple corpse hammerblow
Don't push me...
Don't push me...
Don't push me!

Di The Guitarist
Il cd si apre con "Needled 24/7", un pezzo dominato da una doppia cassa continua e furiosa.
"Angels Don’t Kill" è il brano più ispirato dell’album, capace di emozionare come pochi.
