CHILDREN OF BODOM Issue Pre-Production Update

Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM check in with a quick update from drummer Jaska Raatikainen:

“Recording pre-production demos of new songs. Drums done, some guitars and keys plus vocals still missing.”

The band’s new album is expected in spring/summer 2013. It will be release via Marquee Inc. in Japan and through Nuclear Blast elsewhere.

Earlier this year, Children Of Bodom released Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth), a very special CD+DVD career retrospective in celebration of the band’s 15th Anniversary. The album spotlights specially selected tracks from every one of the band’s albums (1997’s Something Wild, 1999’s Hatebreeder, 2000’s Follow The Reaper, 2003’s Hate Crew Deathroll, 2005’s Are You Dead Yet?, 2008’s Blooddrunk and 2011’s Relentless Reckless Forever), plus two newly-recorded, and undeniably fun, cover songs (‘I’m Shipping Up To Boston’ by DROPKICK MURPHYS and ‘Jessie’s Girl’ by RICK SPRINGFIELD), plus detailed liner notes penned by the members of COB themselves.

The CD track listing for Holiday at Lake Bodom (15 Years of Wasted Youth) is as follows:
