Finnish metal-heads Children of Bodom have announced a new album to be released in September through Spinefarm. The band is known for their proliferation of cover versions (live and on special edition albums) but this album, entitled "Skeletons in the Closet", will solely feature covers. Some will be old favourites but we are also promised newly recorded material.

In the past few days, frontman Alexi Laiho also added a broken shoulder to his long list of injuries sustained whilst on tour. He did, however, made it clear that this would not stop him from continuing the current US tour with Lamb of God and As I Lay Dying. To listen to Laiho's usual torrent of expletives mixed in with his explanation of events, check out a fan-made recording on YouTube.
