The Finnish extreme metal powerhouse Children Of Bodom are pleased to share the second new single from their upcoming album, Hexed, which is set for March 8th, 2019 release on Nuclear Blast Records. "This Road" is now available for streaming as a lyric video down under.

Frontman, guitarist, and mastermind Alexi Laiho comments: "'This Road' was actually the last song I wrote but it ended up being the opening track and also one of the singles which makes me happy cos it's one of my faves. It's different from anything we've done since Follow The Reaper" but it's still new. Check it out and you'll know what i mean."

It looks even more bland than first single. I don't care if there is some OK riff or some good guitar solo. Good old COB were about classical elements and northern energy with fantastic melodies.

Well, sounds like another CoB album I won't be buying. It's not like the music is bad or anything, it's just not Children Of Bodom anymore.

Not really terrible, but like Stormm said, pretty bland. It's CoB 101.

Not bad at all. Not even expected another 'Follow the Reaper' or 'Hatebreeder'.
This one for me sounds quite close to 'Hate Crew Deathroll' which is fully acceptable.

Even as an excuse for another tour, this album ain't shaping up great.

Much better than the first song, contrary to everyone here I actually like it!
I think it's the most Children of Bodom have actually sounded like themselves in years.
Sounds like it could come from Hatecrew Deathroll or Are You Dead Yet.

Not a bad song - the guitar melody in the chorus reminds me of old NES games for some reason.

I think I like the first single more, though. Album definitely reminds me so far of a mix between Halo of Blood and HCDR.

Personally I don't want anything from them anymore, but I gave it a listen just in case. This band was amazing once, but when they started making shitty releases it did some unrepairable damage, so much that I can now hear their bad music when listening to their first few albums.

I don't know. Their music to myself always have been amazing. Can't understand in someway what the hell gets people away from the newest albums.
