CHILDREN OF BODOM have announced a US headlining tour in support of its critically acclaimed new album Blooddrunk. The scheduled four week, 24 city tour will kick off on September 11 in Baltimore, MD and criss-cross the US, closing with a bang on October 10 in Worcester, MA.

The headlining tour will feature support from BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME as well as a "very special guest to be announced". The major market trek will represent the influential metal band's first US headlining jaunt in support of Blooddrunk and follows the quintet's red hot summer North American "Gigantour" live dates as hand-picked support for heavy music legends Megadeth.

Blooddrunk also debuted at 2 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart and at 3 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock chart.
