Long known for employing a lighthearted musical modus operandi despite both a weighty work ethic and no joke dedication to its craft, CHILDREN OF BODOM (or COB) has joined the ranks of the worlds finest heavy music acts over the course of the last decade. Skeletons in the Closet features a first-rate selection of covers; some of them previously existing recordings, others specially laid down for this release. The LP delivers bang-up recordings of among others -- the Ramones Somebody Put Something in My Drink, Iron Maidens Aces High, Talk Dirty to Me by Poison and the searing version of the Billy Idol classic Rebel Yell. Of special note is CHILDREN OF BODOMs now-infamous take on Britney Spears Oops!...I Did It Again. The cover previously appeared on a Japanese-only pressing of the bands 2005 album Are You Dead Yet?, and will now be available worldwide for the very first time.
