A message states: "Since we stopped making music and suffered the tragic loss of our brother Alexi, we’ve been remembering so many great times that we had together. In 2023 it will be the thirty years since Alexi and Jaska formed a band, and the time is right for us to create a book which tells the story of Children Of Bodom in our own words and includes lots of photographs - many never published before - from our own collections.
"If you want to be a part of this Children Of Bodom project, please sign up. You won’t get any unwanted emails, but you will be kept informed about progress on how the book is shaping up and you’ll get access to special offers that will only be available to people who sign up here."
