"I was looking to retire. It's not gonna happen if this keeps happening." One of modern metal's most influential bands just reunited, just over five years after the death of their beloved frontman

Children Of Bodom.

Surviving members of Children Of Bodom reunited last night to play a celebratory set at the Tavastia club in Helsinki. Dubbed 'Children Of Bodom - A Celebration Of Music", the show featured bassist Henkka Seppälä, keyboardist Janne Wirman, drummer Jaska Raatikainen and guitarist Alexander Kuoppala, who originally played in the band from 1996 to 2003. Vocal duties were handled by Lost Society's Samy Elbanna.

The show was originally announced in October as a one night only event. But a second date was added for February 27 when the first quickly sold out.
