Ykä Järvinen at scratchnbake has shared rare footage of Children Of Bodom in action back in 1997, performing at Tavastia in Helsinki, Finland.
ärvinen previously shared unreleased single cam footage of Children Of Bodom performing The Ramones classic "Somebody Put Something In My Drink" at Tavastia on December 30th, 2014. Check it out below.
The remaining COB members commented on the footage:
"In the end of 2014 we did a small tour in Finland called Bodom Xmas Bash. One of the shows was part of the legendary New Years celebration aka Helldone Festival that took place in Tavastia, Helsinki. Here’s a small memory of that show."
Cry as the world burns and the world turns into a pool of fire watching as you scream and die!” A chilling and enthralling chorus Tony Martin cracks to opener, “As The World Burns,” from his much anticipated solo album Thorns. The former Black Sabbath frontman is as powerful as ever on a record that features surprising elements that’s good ol’ heavy metal which doesn’t focus on nostalgia or his past, but is planted firmly in 2022.
Martin was smart to nab guitarist Scott McClellan who pulls out a multitude of riffs that punctuate hard-hitting heavy metal. “Book Of Shadows” holds a USPM vibe with a trembling, prodding bass line greeted by choral vocals before Martin crashes in with his superb vocal delivery. This 6 minute journey is the most epic of the cuts that morphs into a chilling acoustic passage backed into a synth solo. One of the best tracks he’s ever performed on! The surprises aren’t over as “Crying Wolf” is an acoustic journey embedded with the Hammond organ complete with solo while “Damned By You” opens with a saxophone. It’s totally unexpected, but fits in with the devious lyricism and naughty riffing that reminds of Whitesnake. Love that he’s not playing it safe and taking chances.
“I met the devil and he tried to take my wings.” This lyric greets the dreary “Nowhere To Fly”, which starts slow and kicks it into gear in the chorus lines. The closer and acoustic begun title track is a duet with Pamela Moore (Sister Mary from Queensrÿche’s Operation: Mindcrime). Martin and Moore combine for wonderful, thoughtful vocal harmonies in a track that’s the most progressive of the bunch and stands as another highlight.
The diversity of Thorns is its strength as Martin and company aren’t going through the motions with similar compositions and while every track doesn’t reach greatness (the acoustic storyteller, country like “This Is Your Damnation” could have been left off), this is heavy metal written and performed with great conviction. These Thorns have sharp edges and will go down as one of the best of 2022.
Very cool concept here, Death Angel recording a live (with no crowd; this is the COVID era, after all) concert featuring only rarely played or never played cuts. I'm sold, and opener “Lord Of Hate” (from 2008's Killing Season) kicks things off as well as I could hope for, the band obviously pretty pumped to be playing these songs at this show, which was originally streamed after they recorded it in May of this year.
“Where They Lay” (the closing track from 2010's Relentless Retribution) is up next, and the band is thrashing as solid as ever. Really, considering these are not songs on the band's regular setlist, it's wild how tight they are here on this rager. “Why You Do This” is a minor classic (to me, anyway) from 1988's Frolic Through The Park, and I'm surprised it's been relegated to “rarely/never played” status, but I'm happy to see it here. Man, there are 15 songs on this release, and they all show off how ludicrously tight (“Fallen”) and high-energy (“The Organization”) this band is at their finest, and it also shows something else important: these songs that the band has chosen to not play live much or ever are still excellent, Death Angel's deep tracks showing how strong this band is, especially when they stick to thrashing.
Love the cover of Sabbath's “Falling Off The Edge Of The World”, and the acoustic “Faded Remains” (from the band's recent Under Pressure EP) is actually pretty well done, as is the stripped-down “Volcanic” (sung by guitarist Rob Cavestany) although nothing beats when these guys put their heads down and thrash to the finish line, and this quirky and shredding release is proof of that.
Polish death metal legends Vader have issued their Happy New Year message to their fans, also revealing plans for this year, read below.
"Vader Maniax! Happy New Year 2022. We really really hope, that all the global situation with pandemia won’t ground tours and shows for the next months. It is about time to hit the road again, isn’t it?"
And what are Vader's plans for 2022?
"Together with Massive Music, we will try to start late February in Poland with some very special setlists, bringing back memories from early days. Besides a list of Polish songs we’d like to bring back, some tunes from Revelations (20th anniversary in 2022). Of course, this is just a supplement to the regular list presenting songs from the new album, or still expected De Profundis."
"In March - as you already know - we’ll be back on the United Titans Tour, with our friends Marduk, to visit around 20 cities in Europe. Some of the dates were already posted, and more are coming soon. In Spring, we’d love to be back on American soil and Canada. We are in progress with arranging that, more info asap. Summer time is festival time. For Autumn, together with Creative Music, we plan a huge tour in Scandinavia, all around the Baltic Sea. Right after, we’re gonna fly to the Far East to visit the eastern part of our beautiful Earth including Australia or Japan."
"In 2022, in co-operation with Nuclear Blast, we’ll bring back Vader’s classic „Black to the Blind” album for its 25th anniversary. Expect a real beautiful edition indeed! A new edition of the legendary Sothis EP will be available as well. We can’t forget about the 30th anniversary of the Vader debut, The Ultimate Incantation. Of course, we are still thinking what can we do to commemorate this event? This will definitely follow with some special events. And this is not all. So keep your fingers crossed and… see you in the pit!"

Em uma nova entrevista com Loudwire, o vocalista do Iron Maiden Bruce Dickinson revela que planeja retomar o trabalho em seu álbum seguinte, Tyranny Of Souls, de 2005, nesta primavera.
Questionado sobre se ele teve alguma oportunidade nos últimos anos de trabalhar com Roy Z e fazer algum material solo, Bruce respondeu: "Quando eu chegar ao final do show solo no final de março, eu tenho cerca de três semanas esfriando meus calcanhares em algum lugar - posso deitar em uma sala escura por alguns dias e me recuperar da turnê e, em seguida, colocar minha cabeça para cantar e ir conversar com Roy.
Já temos um monte de material - demos e tudo - mas precisamos organizá-lo um pouco mais apropriadamente e ser um pouco mais sério. Talvez escreva mais algumas músicas e, em seguida, basicamente deixe para Roy. Ele pode sair e começar a fazer backing tracks e coisas assim.
Obviamente, vou sair em turnê com o Maiden, mas fizemos Tyranny Of Souls dessa forma. Tyranny Of Souls foi feito meio remotamente - eu não estava fisicamente presente quando algumas das faixas de apoio foram feitas, mas ele me enviou as backtracks e eu as ouvi e, algumas delas, escrevi a letra das backtracks. Misturar e combinar dessa forma às vezes consegue ótimos resultados.
Bruce Dickinson está trazendo uma turnê, An Evening With Bruce Dickinson, em uma extensa turnê pelos Estados Unidos e Canadá este ano.
Dividido em duas partes, a primeira seção do show mostra Bruce tendo um olhar humorístico e muitas vezes satírico do mundo de sua própria perspectiva pessoal, tratando o público com insights privados sobre seu impulso e ambição, temperados com muitas anedotas dos Maiden, e uma miríade de outras experiências abrangendo não apenas as alturas vertiginosas, mas também os baixos extremos, contados em primeira mão em seu estilo anárquico inimitável, pontuado com fotografias e às vezes até irromper em uma canção a-capella, para ilustrar um ponto.
A seção final da noite é inteiramente dedicada a uma sessão de perguntas e respostas, com a oportunidade de fazer perguntas sobre qualquer assunto. Como as respostas de Bruce serão totalmente improvisadas - quanto mais improvável e peculiar for a pergunta, mais interessante e convincente será a resposta!
