The official CHILDREN OF BODOM book is set for release in August through London-based publisher Rocket 88.
Presented as an oral history, the book chronicles the 30-plus-year journey of the Finnish melodic death metal pioneers. It features firsthand accounts from bassist Henkka Seppälä, keyboardist Janne Wirman, drummer Jaska Raatikainen, early guitarist Alexander Kuoppala, and other former members, friends, and collaborators.
For the first time, members of the band tell the story of CHILDREN OF BODOM in their own words. Henkka, Janne and Jaska recall the founding of the band with their lost brother, guitarist/vocalist and main songwriter Alexi Laiho and the struggles, adventures and triumphs they experienced in the more than 30 years that followed. Drawing on personal memories and new interviews with the band conducted by Finnish best-selling author and longtime friend of the band Timo Isoaho, the official CHILDREN OF BODOM book tells the whole story, warts and all, of the groundbreaking melodic death metal band.
The book is available in two deluxe editions; the Signature is signed by Henkka, Janne, Jaska and Alexander, and preordering gives you the chance to have a name printed in the book — only at childrenofbodombook.com.
Henkka, Janne, Jaska and Alexander said in a statement: “Since we stopped making music and suffered the tragic loss of our brother Alexi, we’ve been remembering so many great times that we had together, and you can now read about those times in this book. It tells the full history of CHILDREN OF BODOM in our own words.”
