* OnceOriginalNowCommon: When Alexi Laiho's death was announced at the beginning of 2021, many older listeners had to explain to younger listeners just why Children of Bodom was such a big deal when they came along. Their blend of melodic death metal, melodic black metal, power metal, and just a touch of glam was something fresh and exciting when they emerged on the scene, and Alexi's own blend of technical wizardry and irreverent, "don't give a fuck" attitude made him a guitar hero for the new generation. It was mostly due to the sheer level of influence that Children of Bodom had on modern acts that people who grew up familiar with the tropes that they had created and popularized had to be reminded of that fact.

* WinBackTheCrowd: While ''Halo of Blood'' managed this to some extent after two albums that were almost universally considered to be their worst, it was then followed up with ''I Worship Chaos'', which was another poorly-received release. ''Hexed'' did a far better job at drawing fans back in, however, as its faithful old-school Bodom stylings and return of the long-absent neoclassical elements were warmly welcomed.
