f**k....!

Like I have no words, Children of Bodom has been one of my favorite bands....and Alexi was awesome.


Well s**t in a few moments I will take a cheers to him, he was one of my favorite musicians. My brother is going to be devastated about this to, I'd text him but if he doesn't know already I think it would be better to tell him in person over a bowl or something.

Uhh anyways...cheers alexi, you will be very much missed....RIP, I suppose. I am just really sad about it and not sure the appropriate things to say. This is almost as bad as when Dio died, but worse kind of because at least Dio was already an old man when he died. Alexi was still young...like 41 isn't even old.

This is the only song I've ever heard from the band.
