 FROM NAPALM RECORDS: 

Bodom After Midnight
’s New EP, Paint the Sky with Blood, OUT NOW!
Listen to the new track "Payback's A Bitch" by clicking below!
“Paint The Sky With Blood shines with murderous riffing that dizzyingly oscillates between razor-sharp and perfectly melodic, super-tight thrash to blast beats and the COB-typical atmospheric keyboard carpet.”
-ROCK HARD (GER)-
"BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT was a simple continuation of the groundbreaking blend of extreme metal and melodic histrionics that made Alexi one of modern metal’s most enduring icons"
- METAL HAMMER (UK) -
"The guitar hero's posthumous farewell salute to his fans - and how he's hitting it off with it again!"
- METAL HAMMER (GER) -
"Paint The Sky With Blood is an amazing disc [...] Buy this record when it comes out. It’s well worth the money to add to any worthwhile metal collection.”
- NEW NOISE MAGAZINE (USA) -
“... a beautiful swan song of a gifted guitarist and songwriter, who will be missed. Rest in peace!”
- METAL.DE -
“... it felt like the Finnish wildchild [...] had woven himself so integrally into the fabric of modern metal that he could never truly go away.”
- KERRANG (UK) -
“BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT say hello and goodbye with three spectacular songs [...] very special, sometimes controversial, always inspiring.”
- RAFA BASA ES -
"This three-track EP makes clear that BAM would have hardened into a new and devastating Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicle for Laiho’s songwriting.”
- DECIBEL MAGAZINE (USA) -
Today was meant to celebrate a vigorous manifestation of a brand new metal era and now pays tribute to an incomparable guitarist, artist and visionary of his time. Today, BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT releases their highly-anticipated three-track EP, Paint the Sky with Blood, via Napalm Records.
The EP that was recorded back in Finland, was intended to be followed by a full-length album later in the year - now embodies a whole new meaning and remains as the only work by BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT. Paint the Sky with Blood is undeniable evidence of the late Alexi Laiho's artistic spirit and his extraordinary musical skills in synthesis with his absolutely talented bandmates Daniel Freyberg, Waltteri Väyrynen, Mitja Toivonen and live keyboardist Vili Itäpelto. Not only do the band's final recordings see the light today, but the matching visualizer for "Payback’s A Bitch" is also out now via Napalm Records.
"Like ourselves, Alexi was beyond stoked about these songs and anxious to get these out, so we are happy that we can fulfill his wish. Needless to say, we are honored and proud to be a part of his very last creative work and to unleash it the way he wanted it. It’s time to let the beast out of the cage one more time as a celebration of Alexi’s music, legacy and the man himself."
