Something Wild is the debut full-length album by Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom, released in 1997 in Finland, and in 1998 worldwide.[8] Upon release, the album was met with universal acclaim by music critics. In 2020, it was named one of the 20 best metal albums of 1997 by Metal Hammer magazine.[9]
The songs "Touch Like Angel of Death" and "Mass Hypnosis" both each end at 4:05. Whichever song is the final track, after 1 minute and 55 seconds of silence, a short keyboard passage is played by Alexi and Alexander in unison. This track is officially known as "Coda" and samples a melody from the theme to Miami Vice. "Touch Like Angel of Death" contains an additional 40 seconds of silence after the hidden track.
The original pressing of the album has the band's original logo before the one used in subsequent releases, and contains an eighth track titled "Bruno the Pig", consisting simply of 10 seconds of silence.
