Japanese Hospitality, the new WARMEN album from CHILDREN OF BODOM keyboardist Janne Wirman has been confirmed for an August 26th release through Spinefarm Records.
In other news, a source close to both bands has revealed exclusively to BW&BK; that COB frontman Alexi Laiho penned the song 'Don't Bring Her Here' for the album even though he doesn't sing or play on it. Vocals on the track are handled by Jonna Kosonen, who provided the female vocals alongside Laiho for Children Of Bodom's infamous cover of Britney Spears' 'Oops I Did It Again'.
Laiho sings on the track 'High Heels On Cobblestone'
As previously reported, the complete tracklist is as follows. Guest vocalists are noted in brackets:
'Japanese Hospitality'
'Eye Of The Storm' (Timo Kotipelto / STRATOVARIUS)
'Goodbye' (Jonna Kosonen)
'My Fallen Angel' (Pasi Rantanen / ex-THUNDERSTONE)
'Don't Bring Her Here' (Jonna Kosonen)
'High Heels On Cobblestone' (Alexi Laiho / CHILDREN OF BODOM)
'Switcharoo'
'Black Cat' (Jonna Kosonen - JANET JACKSON cover)
'Unconditional Confession' (Marko Waara / ex-TUNNELVISION)
'Separate Ways' (Pasi Rantanen - JOURNEY cover)
A review will be available soon, but BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai commented on 'High Heels On Cobblestone': "It could very well have been yanked off a Bodom record. Call it a cross between material off Are You Dead Yet? and Follow The Reaper, with Wirman taking all the leads in fine (and often missed) form."
