March 20, 2012, 12 years ago
WatchMojo recently conducted an interview with CHILDREN OF BODOM vocalist/guitarist Alexi Laiho and keyboardist Janne Wirman. In the interview the guys talk about which musicians have been most influential to them, what instruments they play that we might not know about, and the ongoing debate about what genre they are. Watch the interview below:
On May 21st, world famous Finnish metal superstars Children Of Bodom will release Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth), a very special CD+DVD career retrospective in celebration of the band's 15th anniversary.
Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth) will spotlight specially selected tracks from every one of the band's critically acclaimed 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 and detailed liner notes penned by the members of COB themselves.
The DVD portion of the package will include "candid touring and backstage footage from around the world”, plus the never-before-seen music video for Relentless Reckless Forever's 'Shovel Knockout'.
The release of Holiday At Lake Bodom (15 Years Of Wasted Youth) continues Children Of Bodom's year-long anniversary celebration, which kicked off with the band's highly successful 15th Anniversary headlining tour of North America - a run of dates greeted by rave reviews.
