“It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we have to announce the passing of Alexi Laiho,” checks out a declaration from Bodom After Midnight. “We are absolutely devastated and heartbroken for the sudden loss of our dear friend and band member.”

Children of Bodom’s site likewise published a declaration honoring Laiho, which checked out: “One of the most renowned guitarists in the world, Alexi Laiho, has passed away. The musician, most notably known as the front man of Children of Bodom, died in his home in Helsinki, Finland, last week. Laiho had suffered from long-term health issues during his last years. More than 25 years of friendship. We lost a brother. The world lost a phenomenal song writer and one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Memories and Alexi’s music will live forever. Our thoughts are with Alexi’s family during this difficult time.”

Children of Bodom were formed by Laiho and drummer Jaska Raatikainen in 1993 under the band IneartheD, ultimately altering their name to one stemmed from an unsolved Finnish murder case in which 2 teens were eliminated in 1960 at Bodom Lake.
