The band recorded a cover of the Suicidal Tendencies song "War Inside My Head" during the recording sessions for this album, but the song was not released on Blooddrunk.[9] The song was released on the cover album Skeletons in the Closet together with two new covers plus some old ones as well. The song "Done With Everything, Die For Nothing" is a playable song in Guitar Hero 5, which some players consider to be one of the game's harder songs. The album includes more thrash metal than its predecessors.


Production


While writing and recording the album, Alexi Laiho had stated he felt very aggressive, and as a consequence the songs would be faster and "thrashier" than the songs displayed on their previous release, Are You Dead Yet?. He notified fans, however, that certain parts of the album would also be more progressive, as heard on "LoBodomy". The lyrics cover similar territory as previous releases.


Release


The first single was the title track, which was released in Finland on 27 February 2008 and features the cover song "Lookin' Out My Back Door" as a B-side. The videos for "Blooddrunk" and "Hellhounds on My Trail" were shot in Berlin, Germany, in December 2007. Blooddrunk entered the Billboard 200 at number 22, making it the band's highest charted album thus far in their career, and the third highest death or black metal recording chart in the USA, just behind Dethklok's debut The Dethalbum and second album Dethalbum II.[10]

The band streamed "Blooddrunk" on their MySpace page a week before its release.

The album went gold in Finland on pre-orders alone, and topped the Finnish charts beating its nearest rival in sales by 7 to 1.[citation needed] But the album did have a reasonably negative reaction from their long-term fans, many of which disliked the band's new sound and style.

Blooddrunk es el sexto álbum de la banda finlandesa de Melodic Death Metal/Power metal Children of Bodom. Se grabó en Helsinki entre finales de 2007 y principios de 2008. Su lanzamiento fue anunciado oficialmente el día 2 de abril en Finlandia y el 7 de abril en el resto de Europa; sin embargo acabó lanzándose entre el día 10 y el día 19 de abril, dependiendo del país. Existen diversas ediciones del disco, dependiendo de la región. Alexi Laiho ha declarado que estaba muy agresivo durante la creación de las canciones, y que por eso es más rápido y "thrasher" que lo que se muestra en las canciones de su anterior lanzamiento, "Are You Dead Yet?". Se notificó a los fanes, sin embargo, que algunas partes del álbum eran más progresivas. Las letras adquieren un tono similar a los de ediciones anteriores. El primer sencillo fue el de la canción homónima al título del disco, que fue lanzado en Finlandia el 27 de febrero, y características de la cubierta canción "Lookin 'Out My Back Door" como un b-side. Con este sencillo también se adelantó la pista "Banned From Heaven". El disco también contiene una nueva versión de la canción "Tie My Rope" que ya había sido publicada antes pero no había convencido al grupo. Los vídeos de "Blooddrunk" y "Hellhounds On My Trail" fueron grabados en Berlín, Alemania, en diciembre de 2007. El álbum alcanzó la posición #22 en las listas de la revista Billboard.
