THIS IS MASSIVE: Children of Bodom Announce New Album and Massive 2025 World Tour.
In a stunning turn of events, Children of Bodom have announced their highly anticipated return to the metal scene with a brand-new album and a massive world tour scheduled for 2025. After their emotional disbandment in 2019 and the tragic passing of legendary frontman Alexi Laiho in 2020, many thought the band’s journey had come to a permanent end. However, the surviving members of the group have joined forces with a powerful new frontman and are ready to carry on the legacy of the Finnish metal titans.
The new album, titled **”Rebirth of Shadows,”** is set for release in early 2025. The record promises to honor the sound and spirit that made Children of Bodom one of the most influential bands in melodic death metal, while also forging new sonic territory. Bassist Henkka Seppälä shared his excitement, stating, “This album is a tribute to Alexi’s memory and the music we created together. We’re continuing the journey with a renewed sense of purpose, and the energy in the studio has been nothing short of electric.”
The upcoming **”Rebirth of Shadows World Tour”** will be the band’s first set of live performances in over five years. It is set to hit major cities across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, with over 50 shows planned. Fans can expect a dynamic setlist featuring both classic Children of Bodom hits, such as “Hate Me!,” “Downfall,” and “Are You Dead Yet?,” alongside fresh tracks from their new album. The tour is poised to deliver the band’s signature blend of blistering riffs, virtuosic solos, and melodic aggression on a global stage.
Pre-sale tickets will be available soon, with VIP packages offering fans exclusive merchandise, meet-and-greet opportunities, and early access to the venue.
This epic return promises to reignite the passion of long-time fans and introduce new listeners to the enduring legacy of Children of Bodom. Prepare for the resurrection of a metal giant in 2025!
