CHILDREN OF BODOM UNVEILS ALBUM COVER, TRACK LISTING

TO NEW RECORD "RELENTLESS RECKLESS FOREVER"

HD TRAILER FOR BAND's NEW MUSIC VIDEO "WAS IT WORTH IT?

" NOW AVAILABLE CHILDREN OF BODOM (also COB),

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.

Today, COB reveals the album's cover art, which can be viewed

now at this location.

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. A high resolution trailer for the

clip can be viewed now at www.relentlessrecklessforever.com.

The track listing for CHILDREN OF BODOM's Relentless Reckless

Forever is as follows:

1.) Not My Funeral
2.) Shovel Knockout
3.) Roundtrip to Hell and Back
4.) Pussyfoot Miss Suicide
5.) Relentless Reckless Forever
6.) Ugly
7.) Cry of the Nihilist
8.) Was It Worth It?
9.) Northpole Throwdown
10.) Party All the Time (* Eddie Murphy)

"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."

今回のチルボドのリーパーさんはなんだか枯れ葉色ですね…ｗ
今回のジャケはちょっと今までより凝っていますね。

「Relentless Reckless Forever」の曲目リストは上記の通りで

第1弾シングルは"Was It Worth It?"に決まったそうですでに

PVの撮影も済ませたそうです。
アレキシ自身のコメントで完璧なパーティーソングで、いつもの

チルボドサウンドとはちょっと違うけど彼自身はめっちゃ気に

入ってる曲だそうです！

それと10曲目のEddie Murphy（エディ・マーフィー）のカバー！
これがどんな曲でどのようにカバーされるかがとても楽しみですね～♪

1985年の「How Could It Be」というアルバムの中の曲ですね。

Eddie Murphy - Party All The Time

これがチルボドの手にかかるとどう変身するんでしょうね～
アレキシは「新作は『Blooddrunk』よりもうちっとメロディックになって
もっとギターリフが主体で80年代な感じの内容になる。
と話しているそうです！
アレキシがギターのギターソロがバリバリ長くてカッコイイアルバムを
期待しちゃいますね～♥(｡￫v￩｡)♥
