Children of Bodom's genre classification is debated amongst fans and critics.

The band could be part of several musical genres, among them power metal, neo-classical metal, speed metal, and melodic death metal. Their more recent material, such as Blooddrunk, has been labeled as thrash metal.

The term "Tuonela Metal", recently introduced by Finnish press, albeit rare should be taken into some consideration, due to its expressiveness (i.e., its reference to the Ade, the Reign of Shadows) and to its implicit tribute to Jean Sibelius, the most representative Finnish composer.

Laiho, however, says that he prefers to just be called a metal group and nothing other.
