Background information about 'Blooddrunk'

Finnish melodic death metal legends Children Of Bodom delivered their sixth studio offering with "Blooddrunk", showcasing the band's signature blend of lightning-fast guitar work and keyboard wizardry. The album opens with the relentless assault of "Hellhounds On My Trail", immediately establishing the dark, aggressive tone that permeates throughout. Alexi Laiho's razor-sharp riffs intertwine seamlessly with Janne Wirman's classical-influenced keyboards, creating that distinctive Bodom sound that fans have come to worship. Tracks like the title cut "Blooddrunk" and "Lobodomy" demonstrate the band's ability to craft memorable hooks while maintaining their extreme metal edge.

The album's second half maintains the momentum with standout tracks like "Tie My Rope" - originally written for the Ghost Rider soundtrack - and the haunting closer "Ghostriders In The Sky", a cover of the classic western song that Bodom transforms into something entirely their own. The production captures every nuance of the band's technical prowess while keeping the raw energy intact. Songs like "Smile Pretty For The Devil" and "Done With Everything, Die For Nothing" showcase Laiho's evolution as both a guitarist and vocalist, proving that Children Of Bodom could still push boundaries while staying true to their roots.
