CHILDREN OF BODOM Bassist Talks Metal

February 22, 2008

Germany's Metal Hammer magazine recently conducted an interview with bassist Henkka Blacksmith of Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM. During the interview, Henkka revealed how he, as a boy, listened to metal music while playing table tennis in the basement. Additionally, he explained why SLAYER's Kerry King is the most "metal" person and why he loves to tour the USA.

CHILDREN OF BODOM's video for the new single "Blooddrunk" can be viewed below. The clip, which was produced by Katapult Filmproduktion, was shot in the former Nazi barracks in Krampnitz in the vicinity of Berlin, Germany, where the Russian army was stationed before the German reunion.

Check out pictures from the video shoot at this location.

Spinefarm Records will release a digipack version of CHILDREN OF BODOM's new album, "Blooddrunk", on April 9. The set will include a bonus DVD featuring the songs mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound, the "Blooddrunk" video, a "making-of-the-video" segment, and a photo gallery.
