CHILDREN OF BODOM: New Song Available For Streaming

"Ugly", a brand new song from Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM, is available for streaming at this location. The track comes off CHILDREN OF BODOM's new album, "Relentless Reckless Forever", which is now available for pre-order in a variety of formats via RelentlessRecklessForever.com. These include the "Super Deluxe Edition", which consists of the album housed within a 64-page hardcover book plus a DVD containing a special behind-the-scenes look at the making of the "Was It Worth It?" music video and CHILDREN OF BODOM "Live from Bloodstock Open Air" footage as well as a first look at a Rock House instructional guitar lesson with the band's frontman Alexi Laiho taken from the upcoming "In Your Face Guitar" instructional DVD, which also hits stores on March 8. A second special edition package contains the "Super Deluxe Edition" of "Relentless Reckless Forever" and adds a limited vinyl LP version of the album, a CHILDREN OF BODOM t-shirt and the "In Your Face Guitar" instructional DVD. The first 300 fans to pre-order this bundle will also receive a "Relentless Reckless Forever" poster autographed by the band.

"'Ugly' is [one of] my top 2 [songs on] the album", says the band's bass player Henkka T. Blacksmith. "I love the beginning. I love the COVENANT-style verse and the punk chorus. The weird pre-chorus or second verse, I don't know how you call it, is a really good riff, and it shuffles the structure of the song by ending the song, too. The solo on the very simple solo background is really groovy. This is a simple but heavy one!"

Recorded in Finland's Petrax Studios with famed rock producer Matt Hyde (SLAYER, MONSTER MAGNET),"Relentless Reckless Forever" is the seventh studio album of COB's illustrious career and the first new record from the band since 2008's "Blooddrunk", which debuted at #22 on The Billboard 200 chart and scored the quintet its third consecutive No. 1 debut in Finland.

"We worked super-hard on this album, at least for me it was pretty much no sleep or rest for six weeks," stated Laiho. "But we were determined to make the best COB album ever, so we were willing to do whatever it took. Of course, having our producer Matt Hyde kicking our asses 24/7 definitely made the results even better, so obviously we're more than anxious to get this album out there"
