CHILDREN OF BODOM Frontman ALEXI LAIHO Talks I Worship Chaos In New Video Interview - "Stucture-Wise The Songs Are Definitely Simpler"

Children Of Bodom frontman Alexi Laiho is featured in a new video interview with SkullBanger conducted at Kuopio Rock Cock 2015 in Kuopio, Finland. He discusses the band's forthcoming album I Worship Chaos, including lyrical content and how the music compares to COB's previous album:

Children Of Bodom are set to release their ninth studio album, I Worship Chaos, worldwide on October 2nd via Nuclear Blast Records. The band have released a second trailer in which the band explains the concept behind the lyrics for the new album:

Laiho recently commented on the new album: “We are close to putting the finishing touches on the new COB record I Worship Chaos and as much fun (but most importantly raw, literally bloody knuckled hard work) it has been making it, I’m more than happy and even more anxious to share this chaos with the rest of the world.  So people, put your shades and helmets on, it will get very dark and it might hurt, in a perfect COB fashion of course!”

Returning to Finland’s Danger Johnny Studios (located at a top secret, undisclosed location in Helsinki) to record I Worship Chaos, the album was produced by COB and Mikko Karmila, who worked with the band on their earlier albums Halo Of Blood, Hatebreeder, Follow the Reaper and Hate Crew Deathroll. The album was mixed and mastered at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland.
