Children of Bodom

Children of Bodom is a Finnish heavy metal band from Espoo. Formed in 1993, the group currently consists of Alexi Laiho (vocals, lead guitar), Roope Latvala (rhythm guitar), Janne Wirman (keyboards), Henkka Seppälä (bass), and Jaska Raatikainen (drums). In total they have released seven studio albums, two live albums, two EPs, two compilation albums and one DVD.
The band's third studio album, Follow the Reaper, was their first album to receive a Gold certification in Finland, and since then, all seven of the band's studio albums have reached the same status. In Finland, Children of Bodom has released three consecutive albums that debuted at number one on Finnish album charts, and has also seen chart positions on the United States Billboard 200.
The band has incorporated many different musical styles, leading critics and fans to label them as melodic death metal, black metal, thrash metal, and power metal. They are one of Finland's best selling artists of all time with more than 250,000 records sold there alone.

TRIVIUM - In Waves Tab

This is Trivium’s first preview single from the fifth studio album. I think
this is Matt Heafy’s tribute to the
Disaster that happened in Japan early 2011… Not 100% sure on that though

!!!READ!!!
You could count this as the bass tab as well because the bass is basically
the same as the Rhythm all the way though except for the outro, which I have
added at the bottom as it’s slightly different.
