CHILDREN OF BODOM To Enter Studio In October

September 6, 2007

According to a posting on the CHILDREN OF BODOM fan site Scythes Of Bodom, bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith has revealed that the band has finished writing seven new songs and will enter the studio the second week of October to begin recording the new CD. The plan is to record nine songs for the album and maybe even a tenth if the guys are satisfied with another song that is currently in the works. Most likely "Tie My Rope" will be re-recorded during the upcoming sessions and the band is planning to record three or four cover songs which are already confirmed. However, this doesn't mean that all of them will be featured on one album; in fact, most of these songs will be used as bonus tracks for different areas and markets, such as Japan. Henkka was reluctant to describe the new material but he kept saying that he is very excited about the new songs.

In other news, CHILDREN OF BODOM guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho made a guest appearance the new album from the Finnish band GODSPLAGUE. He played a solo in the song "Don't Come Back" and he sings backing vocals on the CD, entitled "H8", which came out on September 5.

Two songs from CHILDREN OF BODOM — "Angels Don't Kill" and "In Your Face" — are featured on the "Unholy Alliance Tour" DVD, due on October 30 via American Recordings. The set will feature the the "Unholy Alliance Tour: Preaching to the Perverted" lineup — SLAYER, LAMB OF GOD, MASTODON, CHILDREN OF BODOM and THINE EYES BLEED. The DVD will have an approximate running time of 90 minutes.

The "Unholy Alliance Tour" DVD was shot at Vancouver's General Motors Place on July 13, 2006, was directed by Adam Rothlein (Speedway Films),and boasts performance footage plus bonus material to include backstage, behind-the-scenes and one-on-one interviews, many of which were conducted by the Unholy Alliance artists themselves.
