I was looking for something in my closet and found rare loot I forgot about - a shirt I deconstructed and hand painted. I wish I had more time to be creative. It still fits!

I love her :) My Alexi Laiho signature guitar.

In case you are wondering, it's a left-handed model since I am left-handed.

I was sad to learn today that Alexi Laiho died some time ago. Aside from his band Children of Bodom being referenced around the Valhalla Trilogy, his appearance and character were very much what I had in mind when writing Veikko. RIP (1979-2020)

Payu may be the dom, but Rain is playing him like my king Alexi Laiho (RIP) fingered his ESP.

New release from Ezekiel Nigma: One Day You Will Cry (Ezekiel Nigma Remix)

Ezekiel Nigma had this to say about the new release:

“It's been a while since I've made an electronic remix, huh? Alexi Laiho is a huge influence of mine as a musician, alongside Children of Bodom as a whole, so when I had found out earlier this year that he had passed away, I was pretty devastated to learn that one of my heroes was gone too soon. One year ago today, we had truly lost a legend within not just metal, but music as a whole. Which is why I bring you all this electronic remix of one of my favourite Children of Bodom songs, in honour of Alexi on this one year anniversary of his passing. May this remix make Alexi smile from wherever he is now.”

I want to sit here and write some really long novel about why Alexi meant so much to me but I can’t. The words won’t come to me. For fucking once, words will not just flow out of my fingertips. The man meant so much to me and I can’t even pull myself together to write something nice about him. My husband and my boyfriend tried to surround me with all the love that they could. They knew this would hit me so hard, but I don’t think they understood how hard. Life feels fucking empty and meaningless to me. I met Alexi once. It was the last time I ever saw Bodom. A couple years ago on the Hexed tour. I dumped a whole paycheck on VIP tickets and a hotel room in Chicago, so my husband and I could drive 6 hours to see them. I was finally going to meet Alexi. Finally. My fucking dream. I put on my Kylla Custom Rockwear pants, the ones I had custom made in my size, with Alexi’s design. I put on one of my Bodom shirts, my HCDR hoodie, and my battle jacket on top.I dug out my COBHC necklace, my guitar pick necklace (Alexi’s, of course), and my Hate Crew Finland beanie. I made sure my makeup was perfect. Pristine. Not a wing out of place. They did the meet and greet very strangely. All the guys seemed really uncomfortable. Alexi especially, who was basically trying to hide from everyone. I chose not to bother him because I understand social anxiety and the last thing he needed was a stranger in his personal space. When they did the line for autographs, I offered up my battle jacket. All Bodom patches, with all the album names hand panted on the back. “This took me years to finish” I tried to stutter the words out as he signed the back patch and handed it back to me. The line was being pushed through really quickly and I didn’t have a chance to say anything else. In that one fucking moment my entire existence locked up. “Kiitos... thank you, thank you” I doubt he heard me as we were being ushered onto the next person with barely any time to say anything. I blew my god damn chance and I’ve beat myself up about it all week. There was a group photoshoot as well. Security ushered us into the GA area for the picture. I walked down the short steps next to Alexi. Silently, as my heart was beating out of my god damn chest. He was no more than a couple inches taller than me. Our small frames matched. I looked down at his shoes, which were so close to mine they almost touched. As we walked, I gripped my husband’s hand like my life was depending on it. I looked up at Alexi and smiled. He smiled back. Security ushered him into his spot for the photoshoot. Jaska gestured to me since there was a spot open near him that wasn’t surrounded by freakishly tall people. All I have is that very faint memory of a smile. That’s it. My goal in life since then had been to meet him again. To be able to talk to him. To thank him for everything, whatever “everything” means. I never got to fucking thank him because I’m too stupid to just open my mouth and that’s part of the reason this hurts so fucking bad. I’ve seen them on every US tour since 2014. And never once did I ever get to thank him.
