North American Throwdown

A Children Of Bodom North American headlining tour with Devin Townsend has just been officially announced, confirming an update on vocalist/guitarist/producer Townsend's twitter page last March. Starting from Los Angeles on June 24th, the month-long tour will continue through to July 24th in Montreal, with COB's previously announced appearance at the Heavy MTL festival.

The DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT will be direct support on the tour, while Obscura and Septic Flesh will alternate the opening slot each night.

“We are psyched to see all of our friends in North America and to play our new songs live for all of the Bodom maniacs,” commented COB guitarist/vocalist Alexi Laiho. “Get ready to throw it down!”
