Relentless Reckless Forever (Out March 8th, 2011)

As for the party song comment I'd like to state that for me Silent Night, Bodom Night is a party song just like any other. (Led Zeppelin's Black Dog, AC/DC's Thunderstruck, shit like that)

NEW ALBUM “RELENTLESS RECKLESS FOREVER” ON MARCH 8, 2011




FINLAND’s CHILDREN OF BODOM TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM “RELENTLESS RECKLESS FOREVER” ON MARCH 8, 2011

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM FROM AWARD-WINNING BAND TOUTED AS “THE PERFECT STORM”

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. Recorded in Finland’s Petrax Studios with famed rock producer Matt Hyde (Slayer, Monster Magnet), Relentless Reckless Forever is the seventh studio album of COB’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.

“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”

Relentless Reckless Forever summons and synthesizes everything CHILDREN OF BODOM has earned and worked towards over the course of its successful, storied career. The band’s high-energy hooks and electric energy forge stadium-sized heavy metal anthems that seethe with both marvelous musicianship and a phenomenal pop prowess. COB’s unique union of haunting melodies, rhythmic sensibility, guitar-and-keyboard interplay and king-size solos is supercharged to the maximum on Relentless Reckless Forever, 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.

The first single and video from CHILDREN OF BODOM’s Relentless Reckless Forever is the red-blooded new song “Was it Worth It?”. COB recently shot a high energy music video for “Was it Worth It?”, 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 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. Check out in-action stills from the shoot now at this location.

“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."

No, the Forum gig is April 9. The release is March 8.

That title is definetly not what anyone could expect. Luckily it's not about the title, as we already stated quite a few times.
I wonder if Joonas still thinks it'll be a green album
 
I like the idea and theme of the album name but the word choice is kinda ehhh. Maybe something like forever reckless would be better.
 
Well, it's not as bad as AYDY, but still gives me a very thrashy feel to it.-
And pretty funny that they are using two words which has almost the same meaning in the title \Metal/ :D
 
Also not sure how you guys thought that BFMV song could have been a COB song, especially by tones. We already got sound samples of the new album and the tones are completely different.
 
Hmm...the album title is not what I expected but what the hell. But well, I think it kind of suits for the band. Anyway, really looking forward to it, hopefully they'll release the single + musicvideo soon.
 
Hahaha that title is ridiculous. Although I guess it does fit in with skateboarders and other silly stuff.
