Follow the Reaper is the third studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom.

The album is the first on which the band seriously moved toward a power metal-inspired sound, brought by Hypocrisy frontman and new producer Peter Tägtgren.

Many songs on the album became live setlist favorites, such as "Everytime I Die", "Hate Me!

Follow the Reaper was recorded and mixed at Tägtgren's Abyss studio in Sweden.

Tägtgren replaced Anssi Kippo, with whom Children of Bodom had recorded all of their previous releases.
