CHILDREN OF BODOM, the hard partying Finnish heavy metal band that features frontman and modern day guitar hero Alexi Laiho, will release its new album, Relentless Reckless Forever, on March 8th, 2011 via Universal Music.

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.

As previously reported, the first single and video from Relentless Reckless Forever is the red-blooded new song 'Was It Worth It?'. COB recently shot a high energy music video for 'Was It Worth It?', joining forces with two-time X Games gold medalist and two-time Thrasher Magazine "Skater of the Year" Chris Cole as well as noted pro skaters Jamie Thomas and Tom Asta (the current #1 Amateur skateboarder in the world).В 

"The single 'Was It Worth It?' is a total party song", said Laiho. "It's not your typical Bodom sound, but it's one of my favorites and heavy as hell."

In addition to Laiho, COB features Roope Latvala (guitar), Jaska Raatikainen (drums), Henkka Seppälä (bass) and Janne Warman (keyboards).
CHILDREN OF BODOM are set to play the Universiada hallВ in Sofia - BulgariaВ on 19 April, supported by Ensiferum.
