Finnish metallers CHILDREN OF BODOM have announced the addition of guitarist Daniel Freyberg (NAILDOWN, NORTHER) to the group's ranks. The band says: "Look for him on all upcoming tours!"
Following a trip on the high seas as part of the 70000 Tons Of Metal cruise (February 4-8), CHILDREN OF BODOM will start a headline run of North America on February 9 in Tampa, Florida, which will run through February 19 in Austin, Texas. The following night, February 20, CHILDREN OF BODOM will join up with MEGADETH, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and HAVOK in Houston, Texas as part of the "Dystopia" world tour.
In addition to the shows with MEGADETH, CHILDREN OF BODOM will play select headline dates. HAVOK will provide direct support to CHILDREN OF BODOM on their headline dates.
CHILDREN OF BODOM last year recruited Antti Wirman, the younger brother of the band's keyboardist Janne Wirman, to handle second-guitar duties for their recent shows.
Antti, who has been a member of Janne's band WARMEN since 2001, made his live debut with CHILDREN OF BODOM on May 30, 2015 when the group played a surprise six-song set at Nosturi in Helsinki, Finland.
CHILDREN OF BODOM's first official concert with Antti took place on June 4, 2015 at the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden.
CHILDREN OF BODOM in May 2015 announced the departure of the band's guitarist of ten years, Roope Latvala.
