The ESP Guitar Company

When Children of Bodom are getting ready to release a new full-length album, it's big news in the world of metal. It's certainly news for anyone who admires the playing of Bodom's ESP-shredding frontman Alexi Laiho, ESP bass player Henkka T. Blacksmith, or their new touring guitarist who is also a member of the ESP family, Antti Wirman. The band's ninth studio album, I Worship Chaos, will be released worldwide on October 2nd, 2015 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Today the band released the first trailer from the album, where you can see bassist Henkka explaining things about the album's cover art, and something about the color yellow and legends and stuff. Watch it now.
