CHILDREN OF BODOM will release their new studio album, Are You Dead Yet?, on October 25th via Spinefarm Records. The US release includes an unreleased bonus track, a cover of THE RAMONES’ “Somebody Put Something In My Drink,” which is exclusive to the US release. Their forthcoming fifth album is the follow-up to 2003’s Hate Crew Deathroll, which worldwide has sold in excess of 200,000 copies.

Slated with their new release is the filming of a new music video for the track, “In Your Face.” COB has signed up with Katapult Productions known for their recent work with RAMMSTEIN for the upcoming video media blitz.

Touring in support of the new album has the band tied up until the summer of 2006. On this North American trek overseas, COB will headline over twenty dates spanning the continent and sharing the stage with TRIVIUM and AMON AMARTH.
