Are You Dead Yet?



Are You Dead Yet? is the fifth album by the Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom. It was released in Finland on September 14, 2005 and internationally on September 19, 2005 under the Century Media label. It is the first Children Of Bodom album to feature guitarist Roope Latvala (Sinergy, ex-Waltari), due to the departure of Alexander Kuoppala. In this album the band has chosen the CGCFAD tuning (typical Drop D tuned down a whole step), which differs from the "whole step down" tuning previously employed.

Album information:

All music by Alexi Laiho, except track 7 by Alexi Laiho/Roope Latvala. All lyrics by Alexi Laiho, except track 6 by Alexi Laiho/Kimberly Goss and track 7 by Kimberly Goss. The booklet does not contain any lyrics. This is because Alexi was tired of people complaining that they didn't like his lyrics. However, on October 17 when the new COBHC site was put up, three of the lyrics were posted: "Living Dead Beat", "Are You Dead Yet?" and "Bastards of Bodom".

Are You Dead Yet? is the first Children of Bodom album to have two singles from it. "Trashed, Lost & Strungout" was released as an EP in 2004, and "In Your Face" was released in August 2005 shortly before the album. It will also be their first album with three music videos, and their third video is Are You Dead Yet?
