Alexi Laiho’s Last Recordings To Be Released
The final recordings by singer and guitarist Alexi Laiho with Bodom After Midnight will be released on an EP titled "Paint the Sky with Blood", due out on April 23, 2021.
In December 2020, Alexi Laiho died at the age of just 41.
The final recordings by Laiho, nicknamed "Wildchild", with the supergroup Bodom After Midnight, formed shortly before his death, will be released on April 23 through Napalm Records. The EP was intended as Bodom After Midnight's first release and features three tracks Laiho recorded before his death. "Paint the Sky With Blood" was recorded in his native Finland in 2020 and is likely the last new music we will hear from this gifted musician.
The surviving musicians, guitarist and former Children of Bodom bandmate Daniel Freyberg, drummer Waltteri Väyrynen (Paradise Lost), bassist Mitja Toivonen (Santa Cruz) and keyboardist Vili Itäpelto, said they were fulfilling Alexi's final wish: he had been very excited to release these songs. According to reports, the tracks on the EP recall the early elements of Children of Bodom, with modern influences added to the mix.
