CHILDREN OF BODOM Members Launch Clothing Line

Guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho and bassist Henkka Seppälä (a.k.a. Henkka T. Blacksmith) of the Finnish metal band CHILDREN OF BODOM have launched a clothing line by the name of Wildchild Industries. According to a posting on the CHILDREN OF BODOM fan site Scythes-Of-Bodom.com, "many ideas for their designs come from Alexi himself, hence the name of the company. Even though Alexi and Henkka are involved with Wildchild Industries and it goes by Alexi's stage name, their products are not CHILDREN OF BODOM merchandise or strictly related to the band in other ways."

CHILDREN OF BODOM's new album, "Blooddrunk", landed at position No. 22 on The Billboard 200 chart after selling over 19,000 copies in its first week of release.

CHILDREN OF BODOM's U.S. headlining tour, which kicked off last Thursday (September 11) in Baltimore, Maryland, features support from BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. The major-market trek will represent the influential metal band’s first U.S. headlining jaunt in support of its latest album, "Blooddrunk" and follows the quintet's red-hot spring North American Gigantour dates as hand-picked support for heavy-music legends MEGADETH.
