Children of Bodom bassist Henri Samuli Seppälä recently conducted an interview with the website Female First in which he states that the band is working on a cover album. Excerpts from the interview are below:

FF: How are you enjoying being in the UK again?

H: Yeah, we love it; it's getting better all the time... when we stated coming here about four years ago it was only in very small places and now it's much bigger. I just came outside and saw the huge line; it's pretty amazing! It's a little grey outside though.

FF: I know it's freezing! It's been snowing too, is it snowing where you've come from?

H: It's freezing there as well yeah, but it's been sunny there too.

FF: Are you going to be releasing any new material this year?

H: Hum, I don't know. I don't know if it's supposed to be a secret... [FF: You can tell us, we won't tell anyone!] there's a plan to release a cover album because we've done a lot of covers in the past; it should be out this fall or next fall.

im definitely not buying this. i think theyve done more bad covers than good. i give them credit for doing something metal with the b. spears song but it still stucks.

The guy in post 1's avatar's band is way better then COB. Forget COB, Jari Mäenpää and Wintersun are the way to go.

At least the cover album has a chance of being better than their last album seeing as Alexi didn't write any of it.
