CHILDREN OF BODOM To Hit The Studio Tomorrow
December 27, 2012, 11 years ago
Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM drummer Jaska Raatikainen has checked in with the following update:
"Today we had the last rehearsals before entering the studio tomorrow to record drums for the new album. Last two days have been quite intensive. Playing the songs over and over again, lots of fuck ups and broken drum sticks, sweating, frustration, coffee and what have you, a little bit of arranging and all that shit.I am convinced that the new songs are great. A little bit of black metal, heavy metal, metal, old school death metal, melodies, solos and anything you need to make a nice album. And the most important, new ideas à la COB!
Stay tuned, studio reports will follow. Now I think I am ready for a beer!"
Children Of Bodom's festival schedule for 2013 is currently as follows:

Word came down on November 12th that Children Of Bodom have cancelled their scheduled appearance at the Tuska Open Air 2013, scheduled for June 28th - 30th in Helsinki, Finland. Bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith issued the following statement:
"We've been waiting to play Tuska for some years now. It is our home festival after all. Unfortunately this year we have to sacrifice a couple of festivals in Europe in order to be able to be part of a big tour in USA. These are not easy nor nice decisions. We only can hope we can do Tuska in the near future again. Please stay tuned for our schedules for summer 2013. Fortunately we are able to play shows in Europe as well. Looking forward!"
