NEW ALBUM Q42 017/Q1 2018

[ESA1996]

Seems to be just the original audio with a video of Alexi playing on top.

As a side note, how come has no one mentioned that there is a keyboard / guitar unison solo in the song?

Jeez, at least make it a real playthrough not a pretent one.

Didn't you hear that?

 

[ESA1996]

Didn't you hear that?

I did hear it of course, but wondered why no one's mentioned it. Usually everyone's drooling for them and now that they're back no one's said anything.

 

[Andry_Wildchild]

Arcane dude take a chill pill man what's with all the bitterness

 

[<Arcane>]

What? I was serious with my question. It's not the first time people are miss hearing things. Happend to me also

Kelli Wright Laiho: " A beautiful honor to be the first to unwrap and play this magnificent album, the most stunning colored vinyl I’ve ever played. I’m completely in awe of the genius that is my husband. "

 

[dthmtl3]

Had no idea he was married. She needs to learn to cook or something because at this rate, Alexi is going to be in real bad shape sooner rather than later.

 

[Andry_Wildchild]

I think her wife has definitely helped shape the sound/direction of the new album to somewhat extend..for better or worse

 

[<Arcane>]

I hope not because nearly all of her posts are full "lovelyhusband" "loveyou" "myhusbandrules" "brillianthusband" "loveofalifetime" etc. tags.

Anyways, the day Bodom released the album cover the first thing I had to think about was Kelly and her instagram posts. She often called herself a witch and I swear I read somewhere that she's hexed. Or that she hexed Laiho or the other way... And all I hoped was that her influence on his songwriting is not too big

Really, now? That explains a lot of the lyrics in IWC actually. And I thought Alexi is having a second adolescence or something-nope, just a semi-lunatic wife.

Could be, but I get a feeling the title refers to Alexi relapsing back to drinking, like the temptation is a curse.

 

[CharIie]

I think it's 100% his wife's influence. But I believe it to be a good thing. She might seem like a terrible poser (Twilight fan type of fan girl), but if it pushed Laiho towards darker themes such as Witchcraft, it cannot be a bad thing. I actually think, as I said before, that I have the feeling that Laiho got more mature recently, and that could show positively on the album.

 

[<Arcane>]

the title refers to Alexi relapsing back to drinking,

How do you know?

And... when did he quit drinking?

Edit: Ok, my thoughts on the cover:

The reaper/witch is Kelly (looks feminine, or?), the castle is their home in Finland or down under, hexed is the ablum name because she hexed him and purple is the color because Alexi took her to a HIM concert on their first date in FIN and Kelly loves Razorblade Romance. Ha!

Google gives durations for the songs, I don't know how... Grass is about right, but the duration of This Road and Knuckleduster are way longer than supposed. If it's right, then it means some ambient stuff for the intro track (the instrumental is 1 minute long), while Knuckleduster is originally 3 and a half minutes, but this says over 5 minutes... I don't think this can be trusted. It even has a typo in one of the song titles. I think the average duration of the songs on this album will be about 3:45.

It seems to be real. The one after the live songs is shorter, because it doesn't need a breather before start. So 2 minutes extra material for the song... we'll see what they've come up with... I thought they'd do this to bring to song to live sets...

" Alexi Laiho discusses the title and album art of the new album "Hexed." "

Official Trailer #1!

 

[CharIie]

I watched the video as soon as it came up, hoping for some teasing of the other songs, but it's Under Grass And Clover during the whole video Disappointing...
I hope we will get a track by track as they did with Halo of Blood. I loved the idea.
