Alexi Laiho joins Rock House's roster of instructors on the cusp of the release of "Blooddrunk", CHILDREN OF BODOM's wildly-anticipated new full length album. Set for an April 2008 street date, the record is said to be the band's "strongest and most advanced recording to date" and features a cutting edge take on COB's enthralling mix of modern metal, melodic hooks and guitar acrobatics.

Alexi, who has his own model ESP guitar, made Guitar World's list of the top 100 metal guitarist of all time in 2004 and appeared on the cover of Guitar World in January 2005 with Steve Vai and Zakk Wylde.

Hailing from Finland, Alexi started playing when he was about 11 years old and has dedicated his life to creating music and developing his technique. He is known for his incredible six-string momentum and melodic speed along with stern vocal strength.
