Interview CHILDREN OF BODOM (Alexander) 1998 - We are considered Black Metal in Finland

Children of Bodom interview with Alexander Kuoppala Zz for WHAT'S METAL RADIOSHOW. Conducted by Friso Gentsch at Hyde Park, Osnabrück, Germany. Kids on the road for the first time. Causing quite a stir with their debut, Children of Bodom scored an opening slot to tour with Benediction in 1998. We caught up with Alexander to squeeze some information on the band out of him. So give it a listen in case you are interested in the very early days of a band that subsequently went on to headling some of the biggest stages the metal scence had to offer. A final cut of this interview was aired on OS Radio 104.8 FM (osradio.com), including a number of Children of Bodom songs.
