CHILDREN OF BODOM have amicably parted ways with guitarist, Alexander “Aku” Kuoppala, following last weekend’s appearance at the Tuska Festival in Helsinki, Finland. No forthcoming dates will be affected by his departure as a replacement will be announced prior to the group’s next live performance on August 16th in Moscow, Russia.
The Finnish metal beast will be unleashing their fourth full-length album, Hate Crew Deathroll, on September 23rd through Century Media Records with whom the band just signed a deal with.
