Yesterday night (December 15th) marked the end of an era for Children Of Bodom with the band’s bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith, their drummer Jaska Raatikainen and their keyboardist Janne Wirman all playing their final show with the band. The set took place at the Jäähalli in Helsinki, Finland and the future of the group remains unclear going forward. Though the band’s remaining members Alexi Laiho and guitarist/vocalist Daniel Freyberg intend to continue their career in music, it is unclear if they will legally be able to proceed as Children Of Bodom.
The setlist for their final show with the aforementioned trio ran as follows:
“Under Grass And Clover”
“Platitudes And Barren Words”
“In Your Face”
“Shovel Knockout”
“Bodom Beach Terror”
“Everytime I Die”
“Halo Of Blood”
“Are You Dead Yet?”
