CHILDREN OF BODOM

In 2008, Children Of Bodom already rocked the stage of the Main Hall as special guest for Slipknot. The upcoming 12 May, they will be back and show us why they are one of the most esteemed Nordic Metal bands of our time. 

Children Of Bodom are a five-piece metal outfit hailing from Helsinki, Finland, but they're not just another band. Imagine a bunch of friends, no, brothers, with a huge passion for music, but little clue on the business side of the whole thing. Going to the airport whenever they're told to with little idea where the next show even is. Selling out big venues in every corner of the world, yet ripping it up in a cramped rehearsal room that looks more like a waste disposal shaft. That's Children Of Bodom - a world acclaimed metal patrol that is an embodiment of the cliché of a passionate and pure at heart basement band consisting of best friends.

Formed in 1993 by two school buddies in their early teens - namely Alexi Laiho (guitars & vocals) and Jaska Raatikainen (drums) - Children Of Bodom is a solid unit, a family that has based its whole existence on a strong foundation: a brotherhood-like band chemistry. 

In Finland, Children Of Bodom has released three consecutive albums that debuted at number one on Finnish album charts. In the last years of their Metal adventure, the band that darted to international fame with their debut, 1997’s “Something Wild”, has gone from being an amazing band from Finland to a household name in the Metal scene. Their biggest success so far might be their last album “Blooddrunk”, which achieved a major success throughout the world. 

On tour with their extremely awaited new album, Children Of Bodom will make a stop here at the Rockhal for their “Ugly World Tour 2011”, accompanied by Ensiferum and Machinae Supremacy and turn this evening into a memorable concert for all their Luxembourgish fans.
