In the Nov. 2002 issue of Metal Maniacs is a pull-out poster of Children of Bodom! There's also a small blurb in the "Bits" section that says:
"Finland's Children Of Bodom, featuring Sinergy guitarist Alexi Laiho on guitar/vocals, have pushed back the tentative release of their "You're Better Off Dead" single to August, most likely through Spinefarm Records. Also included on the new CD will be the group's cover of The Ramones classic "Somebody Put Something In My Drink." "People think that this single being late is the result of our laziness..," said keyboardist Janne Warman. "But no, our label contract matters have been a mess and we haven't been able to release the single because of that. We'll sign a new deal right after Wacken with an as-yet-undisclosed label." Warman adds, "I believe the single will be sent to the pressing plant as soon as the contract is valid." Immediately after signing the new record deal, Children Of Bodom will enter Astia studio to begin recording their next full-length album, due out early next year. "We'll spend about five weeks [recording and mixing], and the new album should be out in January or February," said the keyboardist. "We have about nine new songs ready to record [right now], and they're really heavy."
