Blooddrunk is the sixth studio album by Finnish metal band Children of Bodom.
The album title, Blooddrunk, was confirmed November 14, 2007 on the bands website[1]. The album will contain nine original songs, including a re-recorded version of "Tie My Rope". Various editions will feature one or two cover songs as bonus track.
Alexi Laiho has stated that he has been feeling very aggressive while writing the songs, and that they will be faster and thrashier than the songs displayed on their latest release, Are You Dead Yet? He has also notified fans, however, that certain parts of the album will be more progressive.[2] The lyrics will cover similar territory as previous releases, and the "aggression" will remain intact. Most of the tracks did not have titles until recently because the lyrics were not fully completed.
Roope Latvala will also play two solos on Blooddrunk, just as he did on Are You Dead Yet?. Jeff Waters of Annihilator announced on his tour with Bodom that he will play a solo on the new album, unfortunately this did not happen.
The first single will be the title track of the album and the video for "Blooddrunk" and "Hellhounds on My Trail" were shot in Berlin, Germany in December. The Blooddrunk single will be released in Finland on February 27th, and will feature the cover song "Lookin' Out My Back Door" as b-side. The song, "Tie My Rope", was recently released and is available on YouTube for viewing and listening.
