CHILDREN OF BODOM: Video Interview With HENKKA T. BLACKSMITH Available

Planet-Loud conducted an interview with bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith of the Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM on March 9, 2008, the day after the band's performance at the Astoria in London, England. Watch the chat in two parts below.

"Blooddrunk", the new album from CHILDREN OF BODOM, sold 19,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release. This is roughly four times the opening tally of its predecessor, "Are You Dead Yet?", which premiered with 5,000 units back in October 2005 to land at No. 195.

"Blooddrunk" was certified gold in Finland (for sales in excess of 15,000 copies) on pre-sales alone — before it was even officially released — a first for the band.
