CHILDREN OF BODOM - Official video for new track 'Morrigan' posted online



Finnish Heavy Metal powerhouse CHILDREN OF BODOM have just released the official video for new track 'Morrigan' over on YouTube:



The video was produced by legendary Swedish director Patric Ullaueus (EUROPE, DIMMU BORGIR, ARCH ENEMY and many more...) in August of this year. Patric commented on the video: "The last time I worked with COB we did great stuff together. Trashed, Lost and Strungout was Gold awarded and the Chaos Ridden Years Stockholm Knockout Live DVD was also Gold awarded. So after all these years it was a great pleasure to get to do their video again. The band decided not to be in the video. They wanted to tell the story about The Warrior Goddess Morrigan and together with the band we made this tale about a man fighting his inner demons."

The band are set to release their new album on October 2nd via Nuclear Blast. Returning to Finland’s Danger Johnny Studios (located at a top secret, undisclosed location in Helsinki) to record I Worship Chaos, the album was produced by the band and Mikko Karmila, who worked with the band on their earlier albums Halo Of Blood, Hatebreeder, Follow The Reaper and Hate Crew Deathroll. The album was mixed and mastered at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki and the artwork was created by Finnish artist Tuomas Korpi.
