Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM recently entered their own studio in Helsinki to begin recording ten new tracks for their ninth album, due later in the year via Nuclear Blast.
A video message from CHILDREN OF BODOM’s Alexi Laiho and Janne Wirman about the new album sessions can be seen below.
CHILDREN OF BODOM’s last album, “Halo Of Blood”, was certified gold in Finland for sales in excess of 10,000 copies. The effort, which sold 8,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release, was made available in June 2013 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. The cover art was created by Sami Saramäki, who was responsible for the artwork on previous CHILDREN OF BODOM albums “Follow The Reaper”, “Are You Dead Yet?” and “Hate Crew Deathroll”.
“Halo Of Blood” was recorded at Danger Johnny Studios in Helsinki. For the recording of the LP, CHILDREN OF BODOM teamed up with recording engineer Mikko Karmila, who worked with the band on their fan-favorite albums “Hatebreeder”, “Follow The Reaper” and “Hate Crew Deathroll”, as well as Swedish producer Peter Tägtgren (MARDUK, AMON AMARTH), who oversaw production of both vocals and keyboards on the record. The album was mixed at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki.
