official statement from alexi

[Yetti]

this was on cobhc.com

So...unfortunately it is true that Alexander is no longer part of the Hatecrew, and we just wanted to make the point clear that there is absolutely no bad blood between us, what so ever. We really try not to make a big deal out of this, and since it`s not our place to talk about Alexander`s personal affairs, we have to be brief about this. Alexander realized he couldn`t take this constant touring life anymore and felt that he was holding us back by not enjoy doing this anymore and that it was better for him to bail out than not giving the whole 100% and making himself unhappy. His exact words to me were ”It`s not fair to me, to you, or to our fans to pull an act in front of you all and just do it for money” We understand that some of you might feel that it`s not COB without him, and it is true that he was a huge part of us just like every other member, but we hope that YOU understand that this has not been easy for us, but, god damn, we will carry on with a new guy(which we`ll let you know about later),cuz after all, the fact is: CHILREN OF BODOM AIN`T READY TO FUCKING DIE YET!


Drink beer and don`t give a flying fuck! See ya!!

Perhaps it isn't so strange... My guess is that Alexi, with his awesome guitar talent, will probably leave his other guitarist in his shadow, being a perfectionist he will also ask great things of the other player! Touring life is HARD!!! My guess is that we will see Senior Roope Latvala, this would greatly add to the band I think. Some one to pound out solo's as good if not better than alexi. (Ok as good will do but he did teach alexi remember that! ) I hope that Ale will find peace of mind. I am glad I saw them before the split. Hope you guys are having a great summer! Over and Out!
