CHILDREN OF BODOM: World Tour To Kick Off In Japan

According to a post on the CHILDREN OF BODOM fan site Scythes-of-Bodom.com, word has it that CHILDREN OF BODOM's world tour in support of their upcoming album will kick off next autumn in Japan, to be followed by the group's first-ever trip to Australia. From there the band will apparently return to Europe before embarking on a North American tour in early 2006.

CHILDREN OF BODOM are currently in the studio recording their new album, tentatively titled "Are You Dead Yet?", for a September 19 release via Spinefarm/Universal Records.
