According to this US publication, Alexi – who recently launched a new range of signature models with ESP – “trounced the competition”, beating out such major players as Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Alex Skolnick from Testament.

Children Of Bodom are about to start a major run of US dates with Lamb Of God, As I Lay Dying, Municipal Waste and God Forbid.
