Paint the Sky With Blood

Finnish metal maestros Bodom After Midnight have returned with their latest EP, "Paint The Sky With Blood," and it's a blistering assault on the senses that will leave you breathless. The trio, led by the late great Alexi Laiho, waste no time in delivering their signature brand of relentless riffs and guttural vocals.

Overall, "Paint The Sky With Blood" is a thrilling and cathartic ride that will leave you craving more. Bodom After Midnight may have a new name, but their sound remains as fierce and uncompromising as ever.
