Hatebreeder is the second album from the Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom. In it, the band explores a far more classically influenced sound with a strong power metal vibe and atmosphere, predominantly seen in the blazing guitar riffs and high notes. The 1999 release contains concert favorites such as "Silent Night, Bodom Night" and "Downfall". The keyboards show more presence on this album, with longer and more elaborate solos than in their previous work, Something Wild. The "Deluxe Edition" was released in 2005 with bonus material.
First album in with guitars tuned to (D,G,C,F,A,D) after Something Wild
