On April 23, 2021, Melodic Death Metal pillar BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT, the band launched by ex-CHILDREN OF BODOM guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho, released their new EP, “Paint the Sky with Blood”, via Napalm Records. The official visualizer for the song “Payback’s A Bitch” can be seen below.
The new EP was recorded in Finland back in 2020 and was meant to be the beginning of an exciting new chapter that sadly ended far too soon. The three-track offering is an impressive, overwhelming sonic tribute to an absolute legend of the metal scene – matchless late guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho – and at the same time, a modern homage to the genre itself. With “Paint the Sky with Blood”, BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT hold the scepter of metal in their hands, bestowing an impressive fragment of their inimitable legacy.
