CHILDREN OF BODOM have issued the following update:

"We regret to inform that those of you who have ordered the Bobblehead figure bundle of Skeletons In The Closet from our official webshop, may have to wait one or two days extra to receive their package due to unforeseeable logistical challenges. However, some lucky fans will be receiving an embroided Children Of Bodom towel, which is not available for sale, with their bundle pack.

In other news, Janne (Warman) has kept himself busy during the downtime between the extensive COB tours with his side project Warmen. Their fourth studio album - recorded, mixed and produced by Janne himself - has just hit the stores and features Alexi and Timo Kotipelto (STRATOVARIUS) among others as guest vocalists.

Check out Warmen's MySpace page for three songs from Japanese Hospitality."
