The story of CHILDREN OF BODOM came to an end on 15th December 2019 when the band played their last gig at the Helsinki Ice Hall. Exactly four years later, on December 15, 2023, a live album will be released from the concert, which will be called A Chapter Called Children of Bodom – The Final Show in Helsinki Ice Hall 2019.
Band comments: “In 2019, we held our final concert in Helsinki. To keep this precious last moment alive and also available to everyone who couldn’t make it to see the show, Alexi’s estate, Daniel, Henkka, Janne and Jaska decided to release the show as a live album. It is finally time to announce its release on December 15, 2023 marking the completion of our career, which started 30 years ago in Espoo, Finland.
“Thank you to all the fans who participated on this project by sharing YOUR memories with us.
“In loving memory of Markku Uula Aleksi Laiho, honoring his life’s work.”

Laiho passed away on December 29, 2020 in his home in Helsinki, Finland. The 41-year-old had suffered from long-term health issues leading up to his death.
Alexi and drummer Jaska Raatikainen founded CHILDREN OF BODOM in 1993, and the band was one of the most internationally acclaimed metal acts in Finland up until their very last farewell concert in December of 2019. Last year Alexi Laiho put together BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT, who recorded three songs and shot one music video, which will be released later on posthumously.
