Finland seems to crank out decent metal bands as quickly as it does cell phones, and no group sits higher on the totem pole of Finnish heavy metal than Children of Bodom. The band is led by lead singer-guitarist Alexi Laiho and drummer Jaska Raatikainen, both childhood friends who formed the group under a different name in 1993. Laiho is considered one of the genre's most gifted axmen - he's been voted as the best heavy metal guitarist by readers of publications in the United States and Great Britain. His band rechristened as Children of Bodom is celebrating its 15th anniversary North American tour and pretty much kicking it off right here in Rochester. With Eluveitie, Revocation, and Threat Signal.
Children of Bodom perform Monday, January 30, 6 p.m. at Water Street Music Hall, 204 N. Water St. $17. waterstreetmusic.com.
