CHILDREN OF BODOM bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith has checked in from the North American leg of Gigantour 2008 with the following update:

"Hi there everybody! The Gigantour has kicked in very well! Lots of people, and good atmosphere too, within the crowd and the touring party. Today (April 19th) is the sixth show, and we will see how the Louisville crowd is! Wanna thank everybody who's been watching the bands, and those who's been visiting our merch booth, and getting the Blooddrunk CD!"

Later,

Henkka
