CHILDREN OF BODOM: 10 year anniversary party

hildren Of Bodom will arrange a 10 year birthday party. The party will be held in Helsinki, Finland. Alexi Laiho revealed that the band will arrange a proper birthday bash. Next November will mark the 10th anniversary of the release of Something Wild, Children Of Bodom's first album. To honor that, the quintet will arrange a birthday party.

"We're planning to arrange a two-night event where we will perform on the frst night. Tickets will be sold to the audience, even though there will be many invited guests. On the second night we'll concentrate on partying more privately, but we might indeed end up on stage, at least for small moments. Anyhow, other bands will perform on the second night", plans Bodom-boss Alexi Laiho.

"The exact date for the (Helsinki) party has not been decided yet, but we're aiming for November." Performing in their own birthday party will interrupt the gig break, which is to begin next week and continue all the way to next spring. Children Of Bodom will record a new album during this time.

The quintet has not played any new songs on the summer festivals so far. That will not happen in Ruisrock next weekend either.

"The blame for this goes to the idiots who instantly record the songs and distribute them in the internet. It's a shame that it has come to this, bands can't play new songs beforehand anymore."

Alexi also revaled in one of the numerous interviews he's giving these days, that there maybe won't be an advance single of the new album since the "Viva La Bands 2" compilation kinda works as a single.

Besides that, there are some guitar-related news. Probably many fans will be interested that Alexi uses Seymour Duncan pickups now, in fact the AHB-1 Blackout Bridge. He already used them at the festivals in 2007. Click here and here for additional information.

UPDATE: It turned out that this model isn't a mass-produced guitar, but only a one-time custom order for a customer. That's why it's not for normal sale. However, we still would like to present you the pictures of this axe:
