Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM have completed their roadwork for 2011 and have issued the following update:

"After 22 gigs, 32 flights, customs, immigration, visas, airport bullshit, corruption, thousands of euros of overweights, 62 rental Marshall heads, 100 cabinets, 88 cases of beer, water, wine, booze, cigarettes, kerosene, diesel, gas, hotels, vans, corruption, x 12 dudes and local crews, and everything... finally waiting at Frankfurt airport for the final flight home. A big thank you to everyone involved!"

Children Of Bodom recently announced two more dates for their North American headlining tour in celebration of the band’s 15th Anniversary. The quindecennial trek will now kick off on January 28th, 2012 in Charlotte, NC and run through March 4th, hitting 26 cities over the course of the five week jaunt.
