#383: Daniel Freyberg (Ex-Children of Bodom, Bodom After Midnight)

Daniel Freyberg, former guitarist of both Children of Bodom and
Bodom After Midnight, joins us this week. Our focus is Bodom After
Midnight's forthcoming EP, Paint the Sky with Blood, as well as the
late Alexi Laiho, as we dive into working with Laiho on those new
songs and the decision to move forward with their release after his
death. Freyberg also details what it was like as a fan of Children
of Bodom before he was invited into the band, his experience
writing and recording on the band's final record, Hexed, the
possibility of a future concert celebrating Alexi’s life and music,
the next project for him now that Bodom After Midnight are
finished, and if there is any leftover Bodom After Midnight
material, including a live release. Petar, Brandon, and Sylvia
discuss Mike Patton’s statement that every player in the many
band's he's been in are better musicians than him, former Fear
Factory vocalist Burton Seabell saying Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory
is just "Demanufacture for kids," Lordi's plans to release seven
albums at once, and our thoughts on artificial intelligence writing
a Nirvana song. Thank you to our sponsor, Metal Blade Records,
for their continued support! Songs: Bodom After Midnight - “Paint
The Sky With Blood," Endseeker - “Unholy Rites," Devil Sold His
Soul - “Burdened” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
