November 28, 2021, 3 years ago
Finnish radio station Suomirock has presented a lifetime achievement award to the late Children Of Bodom / Bodom After Midnight vocalist and guitarist Alexi Laiho, who passed away in December 2020. A statement reads:
“Alexi Laiho changed guitar playing in metal music. In his playing you could hear influences from black metal to classical and all the genres of metal. Even if his playing was harsh and ruthless, it was technically brilliant and beautiful. Laiho’s ability to express emotion in his music was exceptional. The anger he could channel into his music creates a strong reaction in listeners. Even if the guitar hero is away, the music and the memories live forever. The Radio Suomirock Life Time Achievement Award 2021 winner is Alexi Laiho.”
