Warmen, the band founded by Janne Wirman (Children Of Bodom keyboardist) back in 2000, have inked record deal with German label Reaper Entertainment. The band is currently writing tunes for their next music output. The follow-up to 2014's First Of The Five Elements is planned to be released in late 2023.

Janne comments: "After the abrupt ending of Children Of Bodom I wasn’t sure if I’ll ever make music again. We did a couple of song writing sessions last year with my brother and Jyri and I realised that I still have a lot of desire for music and together we wrote an album of exiting new stuff. We teamed up with Flori and Greg from the Reaper Entertainment as I had worked with them before with great results and knew they understood my past with Bodom and where we wanted to go next with Warmen,."

Flori from Reaper Entertainment adds: "After all, it's an open secret that our company name was a reference or tribute to Children Of Bodom. Greg and I were big fans and attended many of the band's concerts together. In the process, we developed a great friendship with the band - but especially with Janne. When we saw on Facebook that Janne and Antti were working on new Warmen, songs, we just had to offer them our help. It's a great honor for us that Janne accepted immediately and now we can eagerly wait for the new album."
