Children Of Bodom Release Album News And Footage

For those of you who remember, Children Of Bodom announced earlier in the year that they had plans to hit the recording studio that summer and hoped to release a new album either late 2010 or very early the next year in 2011.

The Finnish metal band have recently been in studio working on their new album as planned. This upcoming album will be the bands seventh official studio album (not including their cover album “Skeletons In The Closet”) and will be the first since 2008’s critically acclaimed Blooddrunk.

Most of the recording seems to be finished, but there is still work to be done before the album is complete and ready to be sold. The band still hopes that the album will be out earlier next year as originally planned, but the time frame for this release is still subject to change.

The group has also released their third installment of COBTV. So if you’re interested in watching some new studio footage, getting a preview of a couple upcoming songs, or just want to hear people shout profanities and goof off as they ride combines and run around naked, you can check out YouTube.com.

Hopefully the album will be as great as the previous one and will be Finnish-ed (sorry) shortly.

Critically acclaimed? Blooddrunk is considered critically acclaimed? That was hands down their WORST album. Come on guys, pick up your game.

I love Blooddrunk! Not as much as Are You Dead Yet?, but it's still pretty damn awesome!

Are You Dead Yet was a terrible album, it really put me off the band so I never actually bothered listening to Blooddrunk. Something Wild, Hatebreeder and HCDR were all quality albums though, hopefully the new one will be a return to that sound.

Something Wild kicked ass and so did AYDY?

I think their new sound is as good as their old one. I doubt they'll get their original sound back, but damn... Their latest album did suck imo.

hey blood drunk was actually pretty technical. you guys might know that if you had actually picked up your fkin guitars instead of trash talkin online.
shouldnt talk down about other bands when you couldnt even come close to what they do.

weird..i was going to say that as well

[vIsIbleNoIsE]

they might not have put out albums as cool as their older stuff, but i still love their whole vibe. the punk-shred-metal thing.

Wow, their technical. So being technical instantly turns any kind of music into good music. Didn't know this. I will remember this for the next time. /sarcasm

Yeah I forgot how important it is to be technical as possible. Good songwriting should be an afterthought...

[maximumrocker]

Blooddrunk was alright..

from some of the riffs in the video they sound good, lets just hope the record sounds amazing too!

So I should appreciate every artist that is more technically talented than me?

well, alexi ( i believe) said that this album will feature everything you like about COB, so i hope that that means that we will hear some of the old style. not that i think that their newer work sucks, i like everything they do, but it would be great if they put out an album just as good as the first three

I consider Hatebreeder, Follow the Reaper, and Hate Crew Deathroll their trilogy of awesomeness. Something Wild was great too, a bit different, but I thought Are You Dead Yet? was relatively weak--though Living Dead Beat and In Your Face mostly made up for that. Blooddrunk IMO was a step back up; Hellhounds On My Trail, Tie My Rope, and Banned From Heaven are some of my favorite songs.

I'm optimistic for this record, I don't really think I can actively DISlike a CoB album. If there's anything more I'd like out of them it's better lyrics and more Roope solos. In any case, can't wait for them to go on tour again, one of my favorite live bands (it's the tongue harmonics).

AYDY is when i first heard of cob so its what got me to like them in the first place so i think its a great album and i love all their stuff before that too. blooddrunk was kind of boring IMO nothing stood out and was insanely fun to listen to like all of their other stuff. everyones entitled to their one shitty album and still be able to redeem themselves. some stuff in that video does sound promising but with a second or two at a time its hard to tell. the few previews were not worth the price of seeing a lot of man ass either. better off waiting for the album.

[bfmvdisturbed92]

Hopefully it sounds somewhat like their older stuff, I love their technical/melodic style. They kinda started losing their touch at HCDR. Idk, maybe they've been partying too hard...lol COBHC \m/

[100%]

Can't wait. COBHC

[noodles95]

Hopefully the album will be as great as the previous one and will be Finnish-ed (sorry) shortly.

hehehe

[thrashmonkey]

im getting this. I actually like blooddrunk as well as their old stuff, so i think it's gonna be pretty awesome

[c0bhc]

if youre a hater, dont go get the new album. stick to whatever shit you listen to. bodom was awesome in "Something Wild" and still kickass through "Blooddrunk". im excited, your complaining wont affect me

[scytheofbodom]

Can't wait to hear new stuff.You guys rock
