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

Bassist Henkka Seppälä (a.k.a. Henkka T. Blacksmith) of the Finnish metal band CHILDREN OF BODOM spoke to Rock Sound TV at this year's Download festival, which was held June 13-15 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK. Watch the five-minute chat below.

CHILDREN OF BODOM's latest album, "Blooddrunk", 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.
