Children Of Bodom: 'Skeletons In The Closet' details revealed
Finnish metallers Children Of Bodom will release a new album, titled "Skeletons In The Closet", in the fall through Spinefarm Records. The follow-up to last year's "Blooddrunk" is a selection of cover versions, some of them existing recordings, others specially laid down for this release.
Children Of Bodom has been recording covers since the early days of its career, some predictably heavy ("Silent Scream" by Slayer, for example), others reflecting an altogether broader taste ("Talk Dirty To Me" by Poison).
