Speaking recently with TNT Radio Rock, Children Of Bodom bassist Henkka Seppälä revealed the band's new album will be released in March 2019. he then commented on the new material, saying "it's very Children of Bodom, but there's always something new. I think maybe the one feature that I haven't heard in a while is more technical riffing, guitar riffing, where Alexi (Laiho) is pushing his abilities to their limits in the basic riff. And once Alexi compared this a little bit to the feeling Follow The Reaper had. I'm not sure, but in those basic riffs, there's something similar to that."

Children Of Bodom were among the acts that performed at Summer Breeze 2017, which took place from August 16th - 19th in Dinkelsbuhl, Germany. Rockpalast has posted professionally-filmed footage of the band's full set. Check it out below.
