Bodom After Midnight say: “Like ourselves, Alexi was beyond stoked about these songs and anxious to get these out, so we are happy that we can fulfil his wish. Needless to say that we are honoured and proud to be a part of his very last creative work and unleash it the way he wanted it to. It’s time to let the beast out of the cage one more time as a celebration of Alexi’s music, legacy and the man himself."
