The Next Chapter: Bodom After Midnight
- Thread starter tragician
- Start date
Definitly agree. It gave me Hate Crew Deathroll Vibes. It was such an energetic and aggressive sound. Just amazing. True shame that they couldnt record the full album. But atleast we got the EP at all.
i also 100% agree that bodom after midnight album would have been awesome. i could feel it. still breaks my heart
" Despite playing their last show already in 2019, the remaining CHILDREN OF BODOM members have been quite active in recent years to keep the band's (and Alexi Laiho's) memory alive. We recently attended their exhibition, Strikes and Gutters, Ups and Downs – Children of Bodom in retrospective photos, in Espoo and one month later, the trio is ready for the next steps in their career, a CHILDREN OF BODOM-themed bar with lots of memorabilia from the band's history and a sauna. We chatted with Janne Wirman, Henkka Seppälä, and Jaska Raatikainen the day before the grand opening of their new endeavor, Bodom Bar & Sauna in Niittykumpu, Espoo. "

Wow! Great stuff, @COB-666.
It’s nice to see all the love spreading
I’m still a bit on the fence about the bar part, when their friend died from an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
They could have just made it a café, that also serves beer n shit. Somehow that would have been cooler towards Alexi. Alexi would probably have loved a bar though.
It’s great seeing everyone. I still nurse a naive hope that everyone will somehow come together and make music in one way or another again.

I’m sorry but how’s a “cafe that serves beer n shit”different. Is it the word “bar” that bothers you? Cause you kinda lose your point there. In this bar you can also get pizza and shit, not just alcohol. Or you can just go sauna and not drink anything. They’ve actually had an interview in Finnish Radio Rock maybe couple days before the official opening where they were asked if they got any “negative” feedback and Jaska addressed this exact argument. His reply was that this has been something that Alexi has always wanted and there had been many thoughts and talks about it through the years when the band was active and he was still alive. Also, Alexi’s family is 100% supporting this endeavour, which ofc also shows by the various Alexi’s personal stuff that were donated and are part of the museum of the bar.
The place is great, it’s really worth a visit if you find yourself in Helsinki, Espoo etc. There’s so much cool stuff in there that every fan would love to see. And hopefully more stuff added in the future. At least for me, it’s obvious that the COB guys really loved their buddy and it’s a celebration of him and their legacy.
I agree. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm sure I'll visit one day.

You’re spot on - it’s just the word “bar” rubbing me the wrong way.
I’d love to go, and I’d try everything on the menu there. Maybe we should even make a forum meet-up there. It’ll be fun with all 6-7 of us. First rounds on me!
I’m trying not to be “holier than thou” about alcohol, but I’ve seen and felt the soul-destroying effects of excessive consumption in both my private life and professionally. I’ll still enjoy a drink once in a while. Share a bottle of red in good company or have a beer at a party.
I’ll definitely make a pilgrimage out of visiting Helsinki and Espoo at some point. If I could ever shake the hands of all the former and current band members and tell them how much the music they helped create and have played for decades have meant to me, I’d be super stoked. These guys will always have my support.
I didn't expect them to release another album. But that's a welcome surprise.
I hope it will also come with a Bluray and not just a CD.
They are planning one more album... in theory... a cover album.
But it would be nice, if the "album" had some kind of "documentary" and interview or something extra... (with Alexander?) like Chaos Ridden.

Considering how long we've been collectively asking for a new live DVD, this is godsend.
As for a cover album, that would be great, but I do not recall hearing about it and I would be surprised if they had enough new material to publish something nice. Although it would be a nice opportunity to release that long-awaited version of Talking with the Trees.

They talked about the cover album ~1-1,5 years ago in a livestream (maybe in this: ). They talked about a new book (stories and photos) and a new COB TV as well. I'm waiting for these stuffs, and the live album it was a pleasant surprise.
