Bodom After Midnight, the Children Of Bodom offshoot formed by former members Alexi Laiho and Daniel Freyberg, have signed a new deal with Napalm Records for the release of their debut outing. Bassist Mitja Toivonen and drummer Waltteri Väyrynen complete the band’s lineup, with the following statement issued in regards to their new label home:
“We are far beyond thrilled to start working with Napalm Records. We feel that they can provide the best possible temple for a boulder called BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT to roll over all the archeologists who claim that metal music is on the brink of extinction. Since the world is more or less in a stand still state right now, we are spending all the time we’d normally spend on the road making new music. Our new family at Napalm is giving us the liberty to make music that you can bang your head to very soon.”
The group’s debut release is expected out next year with the band having the following to say of their plans:
“As most of our gigs and touring plans for 2020 got cancelled, meanwhile we’ve been working hard on our upcoming full-length album that’s supposed to see the light of the day in late 2021. To make the wait a little easier we want to give a treat to our fans and announce that we’ve just finished the recordings for two brand new bone-crushing and neck-breaking BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT songs! Needless to say we’re absolutely thrilled about this and we can guarantee there’s killer stuff coming up your way! Cheers and stay tuned for more info!”
The group entered Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, FIN last month to begin sessions for that outing. Thus far the group’s initial live shows have seen them cover Children Of Bodom material. Bodom After Midnight came about following the dissolution of Children Of Bodom last year with it being revealed at the time that Laiho no longer had a stake in that band.
