This is happening people. The last we heard from Children of Bodom, the band was demoing material in November. Well, over the holiday break, the band announced via their social networking channels that they have officially entered the studios to work on their eighth studio album.
Demo tracking has been completed and the band has seven tracks recorded on drums as of the last update on their Facebook page by drummer Jaska Raatikainen. He described the new music recently saying:
I am convinced that the new songs are great. A little bit of black metal, heavy metal, metal, old school death metal, melodies, solos and anything you need to make a nice album. And the most important, new ideas à la COB!
The band have also released this 30 second teaser:
Look for the new album to be out by the summer time. The band have previously hinted at some major summer touring.
