CHILDREN OF BODOM drummer Jaska Raatikainen has checked in with the following studio update:

"Ok folks, I´m done with my drum recordings. I need to do couple covers tomorrow morning but that´s always easy and fun. Recordings for me went good and I´m super excited about the new songs. They ARE killer. I´m sure you will love the new material. And yes, there´s gonna be nine new tracks on the album. That shouldn´t be a suprise... :-) Later I'm gonna add some videos from recording my drums."

Kippis,

Jaska
