Children of Bodom Wear a Halo of Blood

I have good news and bad news.

The good news is, Children of Bodom have announced that their new album will be called Halo of Blood, and have even unveiled the cover art, which is appropriately Bodomish (I particularly like all those people trapped underneath the ice):

Now, the bad news: Nuclear Blast won’t release the album ’til June 11. Okay okay okay, so that’s not bad news per se, but it means you’re going to need to exercise the virtue of patience. I dunno about you guys, but that’s one virtue of which I personally possess very little.

In any case, CoB mastermind Alexi Laiho promises that Halo contains both “the fastest and the slowest song we ever made.” I’m curious about that fast one, but I’m REALLY curious about that slow one. Do you think it’s possible that Bodom have written their version of a Crowbar song? That could be pretty awesome, no?
