Children Of Bodom - Album Details Unveiled, Teasers Online
Official press release
Children Of Bodom, the hard partying Finnish Heavy Metal band that features frontman and modern-day guitar hero Alexi Laiho will release its new album Relentless Reckless Forever on March 8, 2011 via Universal Music.
Recorded in Finland's Petrax Studios with famed rock producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Monster Magnet), Relentless Reckless Forever is the seventh studio album of Children Of Bodom's illustrious career and the first new record from the band since 2008's Blooddrunk, which debuted at #22 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart and scored the quintet its third consecutive #1 debut in Finland. On Relentless Reckless Forever, COB's high-energy hooks and electric energy forge stadium-sized heavy metal anthems that seethe with both marvelous musicianship and a phenomenal pop prowess. The quintet's unique union of haunting melodies, rhythmic sensibility, guitar-and-keyboard interplay and king-size solos is supercharged to the maximum, and the resulting record is poised to push the band - already on the brink of breakout success in the U.S. - to an altogether new pinnacle.
"We worked super hard on this album, at least for me it was pretty much no sleep or rest for six weeks," stated Laiho. "But we were determined to make the best COB album ever, so we were willing to do whatever it took. Of course, having our producer Matt Hyde kicking our asses 24/7 definitely made the results even better, so obviously we're more than anxious to get this album out there"
The first single and video from Relentless Reckless Forever is "Was it Worth It?". COB shot a high energy music video for the track, joining forces with two-time X Games gold medalist and two-time Thrasher Magazine "Skater of the Year" Chris Cole as well as noted pro skaters Jamie Thomas, Garrett Hill and Tom Asta (the current #1 Amateur skateboarder in the world). Filmed on location at central Pennsylvania's residential Action Sports compound Camp Woodward and directed by Dale Resteghini for Raging Nation Films (Pink Floyd, Santana, Mötley Crüe), the video was shot guerrilla style, sans treatment; honing in directly on Children Of Bodom's high-spirited fire and the skaters' eye-opening execution.
"The single "Was It Worth It?" is a total party song, said Laiho. "It's not your typical Bodom sound, but it's one of my favorites and heavy as hell." Watch a short trailer below.

I will never understand what took them to go so low with Blooddrunk, after all the previous albums were just great. Hope that this will be another good one, but ... don't sound promising

I think it's a great cover, different to the others and cool looking!! The album titles are also nice, except the 4th imo... And the music... well not enough to rate, lets see!

Written by Winterthrone on 12.12.2010 at 01:49 And each time a few blind followers come up to post some silly and pathetic comments, trying to defend the band. COB not sold out? Don't make me laugh. All the announcement reeks marketing and attempt at gaining mainstream acceptance.

Written by RavenKing on 12.12.2010 at 15:34 I don't even like COB that much!!! I said it in the post, looks like you just read what you wanted in my post to come up with your pointless 12 yrs old insults. Yeah right I'm a blind follower of COB...lol. I haven't listened to a single COB song since like 1 year. My point was that it seems some people have a lot of time to loose hating COB and posting totally unobjective comments, while there is worse bands everywhere I look. Sold out, everytime a Metal band becomes a little bit popular people will come up with that easy insult. I explained my vision of selling out in the post.

Wow, let's hope the album sounds better than the samples. I wish they made more work like Something Wild, Hatebreeder era. Very doubtful but well, I live in hope

Not bad cover artwork...couldn't judge anything from the teasers. Needless to say, their song titles get exponentially more retarded with each album.

Their song writing and lyrics are getting progressively worse with each album.Is it even possible? I used to think people matured with age and improved on their talents as the years go by.COB seem to be the Benjamin Button of Metal.

Written by Mundus on 29.12.2010 at 21:43 I think they get more and more retarded and pathetic as time goes by, indeed.

I'm glad to see chirs cole attend the music video cuz he's my favorite skater. also u can see cobs' wear fallen shoes and shirt , it's shows they have a good relationship with the "black box" , but the song isn't typical Bodom sound...i wanna the old bodom like "Hatebreeder" "Hate Crew Deathroll" that's awesome!!!!!!!!
