Children Of Bodom are the subject of a second book by Timo Isoaho, a 240 page visual history called Hate Crew, A Visual History, out in April 2027 through Like Kustannus.
It follows the biography he published last year, in which the members told the story themselves for the first time, including the arguments that ended the band in 2019. This one is the other half: photographs nobody has printed, backstage passes, setlists, childhood pictures of the members, artwork from the early demos, and material from the sessions and the tours.
Starting at Inearthed, the name they used before 1997, gives it more than three decades to cover for a band that stopped seven years ago. Books of this kind usually appear while a group is still working and still has something to sell. This one exists because the audience did not go anywhere, which is the same reason the fan community gave the book its title.
Finnish and English editions come out at the same time, the English one through the band's own store, which Reaper Entertainment runs.
