Hard to believe that it’s been fifteen years since Children Of Bodom came to fruition. And the Finnish metal band have some big plans to celebrate their birthday in North America.
Presented by ESP Guitars, and in association with Full Metal Jackie, Children Of Bodom will be embarking on a North American headlining tour in early 2012 to celebrate their 15th anniversary. Joining the band for the trek will be Eluveitie, Revocation, and Threat Signal. Talk about a pretty sick and diverse bill! Seriously, what other tour this coming Winter will feature death metal, extreme metal, and fol metal in one package?
