Video shoot

Hey it's Henkka,

yesterday we came back from the videoshoot trip to Berlin. Damn, it was rough. We flew in on Sunday and then shot for two days in Eastern Germany. There are so great locations there, it's amazing!

But yes it was hard work, really long days, and for the crew even longer. First day we were outside so it was quite cold also, but I'm sure it was worth it!

The team was the same we had on In Your Face-video, the Katapult production; director Sandra Marschner, camera/ director of photography Bernd Wondollek, and all the other cool people who made it happen!

The songs we did are the title track of the album called Blooddrunk and another one called Hellhounds On My Trail ! Looking forward to see the videos when they're done, cos they looked really cool already!

We present you four new designs of Children Of Bodom shirts which look really impressive. It's not known yet when they will be on sale, so we recommend to check out HateWear regularly.
The designs were done by Sami Saramäki who was already responsible for the covers of the last three Children Of Bodom studio albums, as well as Chaos Ridden Years - Stockholm Knockout Live. He also said on his website that he won't be the cover artist of the upcoming Children Of Bodoma album Blooddrunk.

Hello!!!

Last week in studio, Alexi has been doing vocals with Peter Tägtgren this week. Janne will finish his stuff now also, and by the end of the week everything should be fine. We will start mixing and mastering right away.

We did 9 tracks, including a new version of Tie My Rope, plus 4 coversongs. We will post the different formats as soon as these are confirmed with the different release dates. The actual album itself will contain 9 COB tracks.

The album will be called Blooddrunk.

The darkness is crazy, it s also funny how it surprises everytime. At 6 pm its totally dark. And the days are getting shorter shorter and shorter. And it rains!

But inside the studio it is nice and warm. The bass tracks were done last week and at the moment Alexi is finishing his solos. That means that all that is left is the keyboard sounds, and vocals. Janne has already started working last week and he has recorded most of his stuff, but later on we still have to choose the sounds, the final sounds. So next week will be exciting, when we start choosing sounds, and recording the vocals. It s also the last week in the studio.

Now the guitars are mostly done!! There's only a couple of melodies missing, but anyway, we start recording bass tracks now, and then continue later with missing guitars. Janne will also start recording his things now! Some guitar heroes were visiting the studio one day...Don't know what happened though, if they did any contribution to our album.. Some banjos or what-have-yous were seen played at some point... I guess the cops had something to say also... And Mikko eats his booze nowadays..

One week done. Jaska is now done with all his stuff, and he did really good job! We did drum tracks for some cover songs too, we will reveal the songtitles later! During the weekend we started to check rythm guitar sounds, cos we were not happy with the sounds on the earlier Tie my Rope mix, so we wanna find the best sound. On the pictures we are rehearsing some cover songs!

So now we are ready to start recording guitars. We 've been looking for sounds with different kinds of thingies...And rythmguitarsound is now good to go. Like you can see on Alexi's face probably. Also Roope's guitarclinic was held this time in the breakfastroom.

Yau,

still working with the guitars... as you can see... Due to some schedule things we will do rhythmguitar tracks completely, and then continue with melodies and solos... When those are done we will start recording the low ends, bass tracks!!! Everything works fine, and the guitar sound is really good, we are very pleased with that!

Bok,
dva dana posla su završena.Prvi dan,Jaska i Kai Hahto(asistira mu) sastavili su bubnjeve i testirali zvuk sa Mikkom Karmilom.Alexi i ja smo s njim prošli kroz sve pjesme.Tako mu je snimanje puno lakše.Tako je do kraja drugog dana Jaska bio gotov sa prve tri pjesme,

Henkka.





11.10.

Dobro jutro!
Jučer je bio drugi dan snimanja i Jaska je snimio još tri pjesme. Eka, Toka, Hidas, Tiroli (Trioli), Pekingin kasvis i Uusin su sada gotove.Definitivno ćemo snimiti bar tri cover pjesme.

Imamo sve stvari spremne.Jako puno smo vježbali i zadovoljni smo sa svim pjesmama.Za tjedan dana ćemo se spakirati i preseliti u studio izvan Helsinkija.Sve bi trebalo biti snimljeno za šest tjedana.Mikko Karmila će biti osoba koja će reći kada sviramo loše ili ako nešto ne zvuči dobro.On će isto stisnuti gumb za snimanje.

Imat ćemo i gosta iz Švedske,Petera Tägtgrena.Kada smo snimili Follow The Reaper,Petrovi doprinosi kod dionica i klavijatura su bili tako dobri da smo ga opet htjeli s nama.Vidjet ćemo kako će to funkcionirat ovaj put.Siguran sam da će biti super.

Što još...Kada će sve biti snimljeno mixat ćemo album na isti način kao i prije.U studiu ćemo odlučit koje ćemo cover pjesme snimit,što neće biti problem.

Stavit ćemo slike iz studia te COBTV 2 uskoro.

To je sve zasad.Nastavite pratiti COBHC.com.
Vidimo se kasnije.
