Thu 18th Aug, 2011 in Local News

Finnish metal crew Children of Bodom return to Australia as part of The Ugly World tour in November with their mix of modern heavy metal, melodic hooks and the guitar acrobatics.

The band’s tour in 2008 was met with rave reviews, with FL’s reviewer in Sydney succinctly describing the band’s show as “just fucking brutal”

Support for Children of Bodom on this tour comes from Perth based melodic metal band Voyager, who will release their new album The Meaning Of I in October.

Children of Bodom tour:

Sunday 6th November – Capitol, Perth
Monday 7th November – HQ, Adelaide
Thursday 10th November – The Palace, Melbourne

Trivia copied directly from Wikipedia:

Lake Bodom is a lake in Finland

The lake is notorious for murders that occurred in the early morning hours of June 5, 1960, when four teenagers (two boys, Nils Gustafsson and Seppo Boisman and two girls, Tuulikki Mäki and Irmeli Björklund) went on a camping trip to the lake and were mysteriously attacked while sleeping in their tent.[1] Three were killed and one survived. This event is commonly referred to as the Lake Bodom murders. In June 2005, the only survivor, Gustafsson, was charged with murdering his friends. On October 7, 2005 the district court found him not guilty of all charges against him.

The Finnish metal band Children of Bodom, who are also from Espoo, derive their name from the lake. All the band members looked for good names in their local phone book. When they stumbled upon Lake Bodom, they felt it was a name with impact and one behind which was a story they found interesting.

I actually looked that up too.

I wonder if Friday 13th was loosely based on this?
