Bodom After Midnight
Bodom After Midnight is a Finnish melodic death metal supergroup from Espoo, Finland, formed in 2020 by guitarists Alexi Laiho and Daniel Freyberg of Children of Bodom after the dissolution of the band. The band is named after the second track from the album Follow the Reaper, because of legal issues with former bandmates.[1] Drummer Waltteri Vayrynen (Paradise Lost) and bassist Mitja Toivonen (ex-Santa Cruz) completed the initial line up, along with the touring keyboardist Lauri Salomaa.[2][3] Their first three festival shows were announced for the summer of 2020; it was later confirmed that they were all cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
