Children of Bodom checks in

CHILDREN OF BODOM bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith and guitarist Roope Latvala have checked in from the band's US tour with the following update:

Henkka: "I don't know what it is, but Ohio was crazy! I personally had two of the craziest nights of the tour in that state. First Columbus, showday, and then Cleveland, where we had a day off. We went to see AMORPHIS and those guys pulled off a great show. Then they mixed some hell of a drinks in their bus. I think it was the late night Jagerbombs that did the trick. Or the always so good (but dangerous) Fisu. Anyway, was fun and somehow we got back to the hotel (?). In Columbus, after the show some of us got invited to a house party for beers and drinking games. I wanna thank the hosts for their hospitality, if they ever read this. We had good times! You guys rule. Roope might tell more about the finger fairy later. I personally never met this creature here. Shows in Ohio, and Rochester were fine, and so were the crowds. Last three shows to go."

Roope: "I was able to play yesterday. It's healing pretty quickly. I got some gloves that I have been wearing (see the picture). The bad news is, Alexi got bit by the finger fairy, though it is only on his right hand."

Remaining dates on Children Of Bodom's US tour are as follows:

October
9 - New York, NY - Hammerstein (with TESTAMENT)
10 - Worcester, MA - Palladium
