Bodom After Midnight new song “Payback’s A Bitch”

Today marks the release of Bodom After Midnight’s new 3-track EP, ‘Paint the Sky with Blood,’ through Napalm Records. To celebrate the release the band have unleashed new single “Payback’s A Bitch,” which you can check out below in official visualizer form. The EP is rounded out by songs “Paint the Sky with Blood” and a cover of Dissection’s “Where Dead Angels Lie.”

An official announcement reads, “Today was meant to celebrate a vigorous manifestation of a brand new metal era and now pays tribute to an incomparable guitarist, artist and visionary of his time. Today, BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT releases their highly-anticipated three-track EP, Paint the Sky with Blood, via Napalm Records.”

The message continues, “The EP that was recorded back in Finland was intended to be followed by a full-length album later in the year, but now embodies a whole new meaning and remains as the only work by BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT. Paint the Sky with Blood is undeniable evidence of the late Alexi Laiho’s artistic spirit and his extraordinary musical skills in synthesis with his absolutely talented bandmates Daniel Freyberg, Waltteri Väyrynen, Mitja Toivonen and live keyboardist Vili Itäpelto. Not only do the band’s final recordings see the light today, but the matching visualizer for “Payback’s A Bitch” is also out now via Napalm Records.”

Bodom After Midnight comment, “Like ourselves, Alexi was beyond stoked about these songs and anxious to get these out, so we are happy that we can fulfill his wish. Needless to say, we are honored and proud to be a part of his very last creative work and to unleash it the way he wanted it. It’s time to let the beast out of the cage one more time as a celebration of Alexi’s music, legacy and the man himself.”
