Children of Bodom’s tenth studio effort, Hexed, is scheduled to arrive on March 8th via Nuclear Blast. To celebrate the album’s arrival, the group has announced a North American spring tour. Supporting the Finnish melodic death metal titans will be Swallow the Sun and Wolfheart as well as Summoner’s Circle (March 13-16th & April 9-19th), Hollow Cry (March 18-29th) and Fragmentum (March 30th-April 7th) on selected dates.
COB’s mastermind Alexi Laiho expressed his excitement:
“Hello North America! Just wanna say and empathize the word “finally” … fuckin’ finally we’ll be back on the road – like old school style and over the pond too!! We’ll be in your town just as you’re getting your hands on the new record. Even if you do not have it, don’t worry cause we’re gonna rotate the setlist to include old tracks that will blow your mind back to hell so it’s gonna be a good fuckin’ party ladies and gentlemen. Hoping to see you there!!”
