Bassist Henkka Blacksmith commented on the cover, “For some years already I have wanted to try a different approach with our cover art.

We are so used to digital art so that is really hard to do something else. Doing it all the way with computer is somewhat safe and convenient. This time we all agreed to try it old school. We found this cool dude and gave him simple instructions. The cover has to be purple and the reaper has to be central. Half a year later we got his work, and with little tweaking, we have the cover of Hexed.

It is very different from what we are used to, even the Reaper looks different, but at the same time very spooky.“

CHILDREN OF BODOM – Discuss The Musical Direction Of “Hexed”

Power of Metal — Wed, 23 Jan 2019 18:39:47 +0000

– Discuss The Musical Direction Of »Hexed«

Finland’s melodic death superstars CHILDREN OF BODOM are going to release their tenth album, »Hexed«, on March 8, 2019 via Nuclear Blast Records. Today, Alexi Laiho discusses the musical direction of »Hexed«.

Watch the third trailer here: https://youtu.be/m_YHIF6gJUY

COB frontman, guitarist, and mastermind Alexi Laiho comments:

“This time around, we had Daniel on guitar for the first time. It is a lot of fun for me to work with that dude ’cause he is very enthusiastic and has that hunger and drive to be involved. I love that drive and fire. He calls me up asking questions and throwing ideas around. Saying, ‘Ya, let’s get together and jam.’ I haven’t really had that in my life for a long time now that I think about it. And that is how we used to roll. We would just get together and play guitar just for the hell of it and really cool things would come out of it and this what we did with Daniel – it paid off and was fun.”
