CHILDREN OF BODOM: Pictures from the studio!

Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM recently entered Petrax Studio in Hollola, Finland with producer Mikko Karmila to begin recording their new album for an April 7, 2008 European release via Spinefarm Records. The CD, which will feature a guest appearance by Peter Tägtgren of HYPOCRISY and PAIN fame, will be preceded by a single on March 3, 2008. Songtitles set to appear on the album include "Pray for the Devil", "Good Morning Roadkill" and "Tie My Rope".

CHILDREN OF BODOM bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith has checked in with the following studio update:

"The darkness is crazy, it's also funny how it surprises every time. At 6 pm it's totally dark. And the days are getting shorter shorter and shorter. And it rains! But inside the studio it is nice and warm. The bass tracks were done last week and at the moment Alexi [Laiho; guitars and vocals] is finishing his solos. That means that all that is left is the keyboard sounds, and vocals. Janne [Wirman; keyboards] has already started working last week and he has recorded most of his stuff, but later on we still have to choose the sounds, the final sounds. So next week will be exciting, when we start choosing sounds, and recording the vocals. It's also the last week in the studio."
