關於 circle of friends 解散 ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

這是前陣子在新聞網站看到的文章，覺得有點感慨所以順手花了點時間翻了下。
從當初的英雄出少年到現在滄海桑田人去樓空，其實樂團的經營跟音樂創作本身
一樣重要，樂團的成員不是只是成員而已，而是共事的同仁，當大家都有自己的
家庭和生活以及困難要面對，怎麼相互扶持或是好聚好散其實都是跟音樂創作本
身一樣重要的課題，而衍生而來的財務以及法律問題，也是一個好的創業或是音
樂團隊必須要妥善處理的課題。

台灣的獨立音樂圈在二三十年來一直在轉變和茁壯，音樂的多樣性日漸蓬勃，也
希望有志於此的年輕音樂人可以在音樂創作本身之外，對自己的團體以及品牌經
營可以更加細膩和可永續化，畢竟餓肚子玩音樂其實有一天熱情也會被燒乾，真
的可以當作事業來經營才是可以把餅做大的不二法門。

The secret of the Children of Bodom: Janne, Henkka and Jaska reveal what
really happened
Children of Bodom 的秘密：Janne、Henkka 及 Jaska 訴說到底發生了什麼事情？

Children of Bodom, a band whose albums sold by the millions, did not break up
in the way that Alexi Laiho described or as some fans deduced. Janne Wirman,
Henkka Seppälä and Jaska Raatikainen showed Helsingin Sanomat the e-mail
conversations at the centre of it all and told us what really happened.
Children of Bodom，一個賣了數百萬專輯的樂團，用不是 Alexi Laiho 所描述或樂迷歸
納的方式解散。Janne Wirman、Henkka Seppälä 及 Jaska Raatikainen 向
Helsingin Sanomat 展示了事情中心的 E-mail 對話，並且告訴我們事情真相。

“I almost fell down on the spot when I heard.”
「我聽到時差點當場昏倒。」

“When you said sit down, I knew right away.”
「當你說坐下時我就知道了。」

“I’d been afraid [it would happen], and when the phone call came, I just
prayed don’t say it.”
「我很害怕（這會發生），但是當電話來時，我只能祈禱千萬別說出口。」

Janne Wirman, Henkka ‘Blacksmith’ Seppälä and Jaska Raatikainen were the
keyboard player, bass player and drummer, respectively, of Children of Bodom,
a band whose albums have sold nearly 2,5 million copies. Their quotes above
are in reference to the death of their friend, fellow band member and
erstwhile antagonist Alexi Laiho (1979–2020) in December 2020.
Janne Wirman、Henkka ‘Blacksmith’ Seppälä 及 Jaska Raatikainen 分別是
Children of Bodom 的鍵盤手、貝斯手和鼓手，這個樂團專輯銷量大約兩百五十萬。他
們上面所說的是有關於他們的朋友、樂團成員夥伴以及前敵人 Alexi Laiho 在 2020 年
12 月去世的事情。

This is the first time that the three have given a joint interview on this
topic, for obvious reasons.
這是這三個人首次就這個議題共同受訪，原因顯而易見。

“Alexi was the only one to do interviews about the band breaking up, and his
versions diverged from the truth.”
「Alexi 是唯一一個就樂團解散受訪的人，但是他的版本跟事實有出入。」

Alexi’s death was followed by a long period of mourning, and only now have
they stepped up to put the record straight.
「Alexi 的死亡讓人哀痛許久，直到現在他們終於站出來澄清事實。」

“The fans have a right to know what happened.”
「樂迷們有權知道發生了什麼事情。」

The reason for the breakup was not that the three surviving members wanted to
stop touring for family reasons, which is how Laiho explained it to Helsingin
Sanomat in November 2019.
解散的原因不是在世的三個成員因為家庭因素想要停止巡迴，而這是 Laiho 在 2019 年
11 月時跟 Helsingin Sanomat 說明的理由。

“We felt bad about that, also for our spouses. They’d always supported our
international careers.”
「我們感覺很差，也很對不起我們的配偶，他們對我們國際性的職業很支持。」

The ultimate reason for the end was Laiho’s substance abuse, which is what
eventually killed him a year after the band broke up. The death certificate
mentions liver fatty degeneration and adipose tissue formation in the
pancreas. There were also opioids in his system.
對於散團最重要的理由是 Laiho 的物質濫用，而最終這也在散團後一年導致了他的死亡
，死亡證明有提到脂肪肝變性以及胰臟內脂肪組織形成，他體內也發現有鴉片類藥物。

“Addiction is an illness, and he destroyed our trust in him with his actions
in our business venture. But he apologised for a lot of things, and we did
work together even after the band broke up.”
「成癮是種疾病，而他在我們的合作事業上的行為摧毀了我們對他的信任，但是他對很多
事情都有道歉，而且我們即便在散團之後還是有合作。」

There are many details that Laiho and the rest of the band have reported
identically: the core quartet came together as teenagers, and after the band’
s début album only the backup guitarist changed: first there was Alexander
Kuoppala, then Roope Latvala and finally Daniel Freyberg.
有很多細節 Laiho 和樂團其他人說法一致：主要四名成員青少年就認識、第一張專輯後
只有後備吉他手有更動：一開始是 Alexander Kuoppala，後來是 Roope Latvala，最後
是 Daniel Freyberg。

The band’s albums made the Top 10 across a range of countries from Finland
to Germany and Japan, and Blooddrunk hit no. 22 in the USA – a major
achievement for Extreme Metal, regarded as a non-commercial genre.
這個樂團的專輯在很多國家（芬蘭到德國及日本）都衝上前十，而 Blooddrunk 在美國還
衝到了第 22 名，這對被視為非商業化流派的極端金屬來說是個很大的成就。

Laiho made a substantial income in royalties as songwriter and lyricist, but
with the establishment of a limited liability company for the band in 2003 –
AA & Sewira Consulting Oy, referred to below as the LLC – all other income,
from gigs to merchandise, was split equally.
Laiho 身為作曲及填詞人，版權費收入十分可觀，但是隨著樂團在 2003 年的有限責任公
司 AA & Sewira Consulting Oy （下文稱「LLC」）設立後，所有表演到商品的收入都會
均分。

“Alexi was all about the band,” says Raatikainen. Major tours or manager
replacements were decided democratically, by majority vote.
「Alexi 對樂團全心投入」Raatikainen 這樣說到，大型巡迴或更換經紀人由多數決民主
決定。

And the money did come rolling in. The LLC paid the band members monthly
salaries of up to EUR 8,000, with tens of thousands additionally paid out in
dividends.
然後錢也真的進來了，LLC 給樂團成員最多 8000 歐元的月薪，其他的成千上萬的則另行
以股利支付。

Laiho was initially brash about his substance abuse. It began to take a more
serious toll on his music-making in 2008, when Children of Bodom were the
supporting act for Slipknot on tour. In the early 2010s, Laiho admitted that
he had messed up and promised the band members that he would not drink on
tour any more.
Laiho 對他的物質成癮一開始不以為意，直到 2008 年對他的音樂創作造成巨大的影響，
而當時 Children of Bodom 正在支援 Slipkont 的巡迴。在 2010 年初，Laiho 承認他
搞砸了並且向樂團成員承諾他以後在巡迴時不會喝酒。

He kept his word for a few years, and the other serious health issues he
faced cut down on his other substance abuse as of 2012.
他信守承諾了幾年，然後 2012 年時其他他面對的健康嚴重問題迫使他減少他其他的物質
濫用。

“He was really positive and happy when he was sober”, Wirman recalls.
「他清醒的時候還蠻正面和開心的。」Wirman 回憶到。

“He was fun and relaxed, he liked to watch comedy. He would cackle at
Seinfeld at the back of the bus”, Raatikainen adds.
「他很有趣而且放鬆，他喜歡看喜劇，他會在巴士後面看著 Seinfield 咯咯笑」，
Raatikainen 補充。

The band members’ versions of history began to diverge for the first time in
2015, when backup guitarist Roope Latvala was fired. Here, the trio agrees
with Laiho:
樂團成員版本的歷史在 2015 年後首次產生分歧，這時備位吉他手 Roope Latvala 被解
約，這裡三人跟 Laiho 說法一致：

“Alexi became frustrated because Roope didn’t perform his job duties,
meaning rehearsals, so we went by the letter of the law: verbal warnings,
formal warnings and finally termination.”
「Alexi 開始覺得沮喪，因為 Roope 沒有把他的工作職務做好，就是排練。所以我們依
照法律規定：口頭警告、正式警告以及最後解約。」

Latvala himself, in interviews with the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE)
and Helsingin Sanomat, was adamant that his firing came as a complete
surprise.
Latvala在他自己跟 Finnish Broadcasting Company 及 Helsingin Sanomat 的訪問中堅
稱自己被解約完全是始料未及。

In that year, 2015, Laiho was at the height of his creative powers and
devised the ambitious composition 100guitarsfromHEL for the Helsinki Festival.
在 2015 同年，Laiho 正在創作力高峰，且為 Helsinki Festival 的
100guitarsfromHEL 創作極具企圖心的音樂。

“So we can only wonder why he went into a tailspin again in 2016”, sighs
Wirman.
「所以我們完全不知道為什麼他在 2016 年又開始故態復萌。」Wirman 嘆息著。

In 2017, Laiho complained that his income was declining.
在 2017 年，Laiho 抱怨他的收入減少。

“I’ve thought about pulling myself out of the company”, he wrote on 4
December 2017.
「我有想過我自己要從公司離開。」他在 2017 年 12 月 4 日寫到。

Wirman recalls that the LLC did default on salary payments to all band
members a couple of times when a tour was coming up. “But all the backlog
was paid up when the income from the tour came in.”
Wirman 回憶到 LLC 確實有幾次在巡迴之前沒有付所有樂團成員薪水，「但所有積欠薪資
在巡迴收入入帳後都已經付清。」

Laiho suggested that the other band members buy him out of the LLC, that he
would be paid his fees directly by gig organisers and that he would still pay
his share of the expenses. This caused resentment, because it would have
complicated things.
Laiho 建議其他成員可以把他在 LLC 的股份買下來，所以他可以直接從表演主辦單位直
接收到他的錢，而且他也仍會支付花費中他應負擔的部分。而這產生了嫌隙，因為這會讓
事情更複雜。

The trio has shown HS documents and hundreds of e-mails, according to which
the LLC was still bringing in an average of about EUR 500,000 per year in
2016 and 2017, notwithstanding the financial crisis and the decline in record
sales because of streaming. The members’ monthly salary had been reduced
first to EUR 5,000 and then to EUR 4,500 because of the declining trend.
三人向 HS 秀出了文件及上百封 E-mails，裡面說到 LLC 在 2016 及 2017 年仍會帶來
平均每年 500,000 歐元的收入，即便在串流興起導致的財務危機和唱片銷售下滑時也是
如此。而因這個下滑趨勢，樂團成員的月薪也從一開始被降到 5,000 歐元，然後再調到
4,500 歐元。

On the other hand, in 2016 the company paid out a bonus amounting to a couple
of months’ salary, because the company’s financial performance had been so
good.
另一方面，該公司在 2016 年付出了好幾個月薪資的獎金，因為公司財務表現十分亮眼。

This was not enough for Laiho. On 5 June 2018, he resigned by e-mail.
這對 Laiho 還是不夠，在 2018 年 6 月 5 號，他以 E-mail 提出辭呈。

“i have no choice but quit the fuckin band. U can post this to everyone,”
wrote Laiho and added that he was “bankrupt”.
「我除了離開這他媽的團以外別無其他選擇，你可以把這個轉給每個人。」Laiho 寫到，
並且外加說到他已經「破產」。

That was probably an exaggeration, but it freaked out the other band members.
They had mortgages, and the company had contractual commitments, such as
delivering their nearly completed album to the record label against the
advance payments they had received.
那可能是言過其實了，但是卻實是嚇壞了其他樂團成員。他們有房貸，公司有契約義務，
例如對唱片公司提交近乎完成的專輯來償兌他們所收到的預付款。

Their manager reminded Laiho of this and was told: “So you’re saying that
if I personally can’t do this anymore, everyone is gonna get sued by the
record company? No man, Neva seen that before.. i mean sometimes people quit.
If that does happen I’ll take the blame and go to jail for these guys, they
shouldnt suffer.”
他們的經紀人提醒 Laiho 這事情，然後被告知「所以你是在告訴我我說如果我個人自己
真的幹不下去了，每個人都會被唱片公司告嗎？才不會咧，以前從來沒有看過這樣的事，
我的意思是有時人就是會退團，如果這個真的發生了，我就一肩扛起然後替這些人坐牢，
他們可不需要受罪。」

Uncertainty ensued. When Laiho was at his second home in Australia, he wanted
to quit. When he was in Finland, he wanted to go on.
接下來是更多的不確定性，當 Laiho在他澳洲第二個家時，他想要離團，當他在芬蘭時，
他卻想要留下來。

“It got so bad that my heart raced whenever I saw that there was a message
from Alexi,” Seppälä recalls.
「狀況糟到只要我看到有 Alexi 來的訊息時，我的心跳就開始加速。」Seppälä 回憶
到。

On 7 July 2018, Laiho sent an e-mail that seemed to resolve the situation: “
I don’t wanna leave things unfinished or especially just bail between tours.
Im really not expecting to get anywhere near as much money as we did 10 years
ago and i know i can be an intolerable, impulsive fuckface sometimes and I
easily explode when everything goes to shit especially when im just mentally
exhausted (I gotta work at that). That said, there is some truth behind what
i said about how i feel, but nothing justifies me blaming anyone for the
situation and for THAT I truly am sorry and also hoping we can do these shows
without bad vibes.”
在 2018 年 7 月 7 號，Laiho 寄出一封似乎想要解決狀況的 E-mail：「我不想事情沒
做完就離開，特別不想在巡迴間就走人，我真的不期待我們會有辦法像我們十年前賺一樣
多的錢，我知道我有時是個令人難以忍受而且性格衝動的混球，然後當事情搞砸時我很輕
易就會大爆炸，特別是當我心力交瘁的時候（我真的應該要努力處理一下這部分）。話是
這樣說，我說的話背後也是有幾分真實性的，但是沒有事情可以讓我可以合理化對這種狀
況責怪任何人，而這也是我真的很抱歉的地方，我也希望我們可以在心無芥蒂的狀況下完
成表演。」

The album Hexed was released in March 2019, and Laiho’s autobiography,
edited by journalist Petri Silas, was published for Laiho’s 40th birthday.
專輯 Hexed 在 2019 年 3月發行，而 Laiho 由記者 Petri Silas 編輯的自傳在他四十
歲生日出版。

“We didn’t dare read the book, Alexi’s memory being what it was. But from
what we heard, it was very well put together”, say the trio.
三人論到：「我們根本不敢看那本書，Alexi 的回憶是那樣，但是就我們了解，書寫得很
美好。」

Laiho was dangerously underweight on the US tour in March and April 2019, and
the gigs ended up being shorter than agreed.
Laiho 在 2019 年 3 月及 4 月的美國巡迴體重嚴重過輕，然後表演最後比協議的簡短。

At a business meeting in New York, their manager brought up Laiho’s
substance abuse. Laiho refused to go into rehabilitation but did agree to see
a doctor. He was diagnosed with diabetes, and the medication prescribed did
help his condition somewhat.
在紐約的一場業務會議中，他們的經紀人提出了 Laiho 的物質濫用問題，Laiho 拒絕去
戒癮中心，但是確實同意去看醫生。他被診斷有糖尿病，然後開立的藥物確實對他的狀況
有些許改善。

Laiho indicated that he was ready to make one more album together and
responded “OK” to the suggestion that the band would be wound up in a
controlled fashion, with a couple of years of farewell tours.
Laiho 指出他準備好再一起做一張專輯，對樂團以可控制的方式解散加上幾年的再見巡迴
的建議也說了 OK。

He never arrived at the meeting where the matter was discussed. The result
was a cascade of misunderstandings and “fuck off” messages. But those too
would pass.
他在討論事情的的會議上從未出席，這造成了一連串的誤會及「滾啦幹」的訊息，但是這
都會過去。

Then came August 2019.
然後 2019 年 8 月到來。

In the middle of the summer, the Finnish Patent and Registration Office
received an application from Laiho’s representative concerning the
registration of the name ‘Children of Bodom’ to Laiho.
時值仲夏，芬蘭專利註冊局收到 Laiho 的代表的一份申請書，裡面是有關把「Children
of Bodom」名稱註冊給 Laiho 的事情。

The legal counsel of the LLC of the Children of Bodom members noticed this in
August. Even though Alexi was the songwriter and leader of the band, this
smacked of an attempt to hijack the name and brand that was controlled by the
band’s LLC.
Children of Bodom 的 LLC 的法律顧問在 8 月就注意到這事情，即便 Alexi 是樂團的
歌曲創作者和領導者，這個不啻是個要把由 LLC 控制的團名劫走的意圖。

Laiho was sent a formal legal notice of loss of confidence together with a
demand that he sign over the application for registering the rights to the
name ‘Children of Bodom’ to the LLC owned by the core quartet of the band –
including Laiho himself – within one week. Otherwise his employment with
the LLC would be terminated, and he would be fired from Children of Bodom.
Laiho 收到一封失信函的正式法律通知，而其亦一併要求他將「Children of Bodom」的
名稱權利的註冊申請書在一周內移轉給樂團核心四人（包括 Laiho 自己）所擁有的 LLC
，否則他跟 LLC 的聘僱關係將會終止，然後他就會被 Children of Bodom 開除。

Laiho was enraged at the wording but did admit that the name of the band
belonged to the LLC.
Laiho 因為這些措辭感到十分惱火，但確實承認樂團名稱是屬於 LLC 所有。

“It can be taken back, I didn’t realise it was somehow so serious”, he
wrote on 4 September.
「這可以被收回，我沒想到這會這麼嚴重。」他在 9 月 4 號寫到。

Because of their history of 10 albums and 22 years together, this was indeed
a serious matter for the other band members, but they too were conciliatory:
the threat had been a legal formality and a panic response.
因為他們成軍 22 年及 10 張專輯的歷史，這對樂團其他成員確實是一件嚴重的事，但是
他們也釋出善意：這些威脅只是法律形式和驚慌失措下的反應。

The next tour approached.
下次巡迴到來了。

On the Russian tour in October 2019, Laiho “was hitting the bottle like back
in 2008”, the trio recalls. His performance suffered, and their manager had
to intervene again. Laiho responded: ”Im the devil cos of some codeine and
valium? Fuckin intervention dude? U embarrassed me in front of everyone and i
was sick.”
在 2019 年 10 月俄羅斯的巡迴時，Laiho「像 2008 年一樣喝個不停」，三人回憶到。
他的表現也受到影響，他們的經紀人不得不再度介入。Laiho 回應：「就因為一些可待因
和地西泮所以我就是惡魔嗎？介入個鬼啊老兄？我生病了而你讓我在每個人面前出糗。」

He then proceeded to list every intoxicant and medication that he recalled
the other band members using.
他然後列出了他記得其他樂團成員使用的每一種成癮物品及藥品。

“I told Alexi that you don’t usually drink starting at breakfast before a
gig, and now you don’t even warm up with the guitar before going on stage
like you always do”, Raatikainen recalls.
「我告訴 Alexi 你在表演前通常不會從早餐就開始喝酒，你現在甚至在上台前都不會像
你以前一樣彈吉他熱身了。」Raatikainen 回憶到。

Laiho said that someone in his family was sick and that he was drinking
because he was sad.
Laiho 說他家裡有人生病，他很難過所以喝酒。

“I get that, but it’s not helping that you’re destroying these gigs. Get
some sleep, see you in the morning”, said Raatikainen.
「我懂，你毀了這些表演但是卻一點幫助都沒有，去睡覺，早上見。」Raatikainen 說。

In the course of the night, Laiho fired off vicious drunken e-mails to the
band manager and the other band members. In one of them, he declared that
Henkka and Janne would be fired immediately after the concert in St
Petersburg.
到了晚上，Laiho 發了數封惡毒的酒後 E-mail 給樂團經紀人以及其他樂團成員，其中一
封他聲稱 Henkka 及 Janne 在聖彼得堡的演唱會結束後就會被立刻開除。

“That was the sickness talking, not Alexi”, Wirman concludes.
「那是那種生了病的亂說話，不是 Alexi」，Wirman 下了這樣的結論。

On the next day, Laiho apologised and stopped drinking for the last concerts
of the tour.
隔天，Laiho 道歉而且在巡迴的最後一場演唱會停止喝酒。

“His hands were shaking for two days, but the gigs in Moscow and St
Petersburg went pretty well.”
「他的手抖了兩天，但是在莫斯科和聖彼得堡的表演還不錯。」

They informed the tour organiser that the band had broken up. Laiho was
remorseful: this was not how he wanted the tale of Children of Bodom to end.
他們通知了巡迴經紀人說樂團要解散了，Laiho 懊悔不已：這不是他想要 Children of
Bodom 的傳奇結束的方式。

What about the gigs in Finland that had been agreed for December, asked the
organiser. What would it take to get the rest of the band to perform with
Alexi?
策畫人問說那先前同意 12 月在芬蘭的演唱會怎麼辦？要怎樣才可以讓樂團剩下的成員跟
Alexi 一起表演？

They decided to go with Alexi’s wish from a few years back and buy him out
of the LLC. He would be paid the tour fees directly by the tour organiser. “
This also gave the three of us the freedom to continue with the business of
the LLC as we best saw fit”, says Wirman.
他們決定成全 Alexi 幾年前的願望然後把他在 LLC 的股份買下來，他可以從巡迴策畫人
那邊直接收到巡迴的錢。「這也讓我們三人有自由可以用我們認為最適合的方式繼續
LLC 的生意」Wirman這樣說。

Laiho naturally retained the rights to his music and was paid royalties on
performances and record sales as before. What he sold was his holding in the
LLC that owns the name of the band and the merchandising rights.
Laiho 自然對他的音樂保有權利，而且也會像之前一樣收到表演和唱片的權利金，他賣掉
的是擁有樂團名稱及商品權利的 LLC 的持股。

A bulletin was put out, declaring that the band would disband after the gigs
in Finland. Alexi turned up and remained sober for the entire tour, now as a
paid employee. He played and scream-sang through the gigs like only Alexi
Laiho could.
公告貼出來說樂團在芬蘭表演完就會解散，Alexi 現在身為受薪員工，在整個巡迴都有現
身且保持清醒，他在表演中演奏及高歌狂吼，就像是只有 Alexi Laiho 才辦得到的那樣
。

It was a better ending than any in the band had dared hope for.
這是一個比較好的結局，而且比任何在樂團成員祈求的都好。

Laiho wanted to continue making music, and according to the trio he could
easily have had permission to use the name ‘Children of Bodom’, if only his
lawyer and the LLC legal counsel had come to an agreement about it.
Laiho 想要繼續做音樂，而依照三個人的想法，只要他的律師和 LLC 的法務顧問達成共
識，他很簡單就可以取得使用「Children of Bodom」的名字的授權。

No such request ever came.
這樣的要求從來沒來過。

“He was smart enough to ask whether it would be OK to call his band Bodom
After Midnight, and we said of course it was,” says Wirman.
「他很聰明有來問說是不是可以叫他的團『Bodom After Midnight』，然後我們說當然可
以。」Wirman 說到。

In early 2020, they exchanged cordial messages, and after the pandemic hit,
they devised Children of Bodom face masks, with which Alexi posed for photos.
2020 年初的時候，它們交換了幾次友好的訊息，然後疫情降臨，他們開發了 Children
of Bodom 的口罩，Alexi 也戴著拍了照。

“When we were about to launch our new shop, we asked Alexi to come on board
with a one-fourth share in a number of products like before, and he was
closely involved right up to the end of his life”, says Seppälä.
「當我們新的商店要開幕時，我們邀請 Alexi 加入，並以像以前一樣 ¼ 商品數量的分
成，他直到生命末期都很密切的一起作業。」Seppälä 說著。

After all that has happened, the trio underline that it is an honour to have
had the opportunity to make music with Laiho for decades. Their relationship
was more brotherhood than friendship, which is why the end of the band was so
traumatic to deal with. Even therapy was required.
等到所有事情發生後，三人強調十分榮幸可以有機會跟 Laiho 一起做音樂長達數十年，
他們的關係親同兄弟而非僅僅是朋友，這也是為什麼樂團的尾聲是如此的令人心碎而難以
承受，甚至需要接受治療。

Today, Seppälä has a degree in political science and has returned from
teaching to music in a band called Moon Shot, which includes other successful
musicians from Disco Ensemble and Lapko. They are planning a European tour.
今天，Seppälä 有政治學學位，並且從教書返回音樂圈加入一個叫做 Moon Shot 的樂
團，該者包括其他來自 Disco Ensemble 和 Lapko 等成功的樂手。

Jaska Raatikainen plays with Mercury Circle, who are working on their second
album.
Jaska Raatikainen 加入了 Mercury Circle，他們正在製作它們第二張專輯。

Janne Wirman is studying architecture at Aalto University.
Janne Wirman 在 Aalto University 攻讀建築。

“And we still work for our LLC”, says Wirman.
「而我們還是繼續替我們的 LLC 工作」，Wirman 說到。

“There’s all sorts of stuff in storage that would be of interest to fans.
We have a dream of setting up a Children of Bodom museum-cum-bar.”
「 倉庫裡有各式各樣樂迷們可能會感興趣的東西，我們還想說成立一個 Children of
Bodom 展覽酒館。」

The trio are currently compiling a photo exhibition on Children of Bodom to
be put on display at the Espoo Cultural Centre in October 2022, jointly with
Alexi’s estate.
這三人目前正在策劃一個 Children of Bodom 相片展，展覽預計在 2022 年 10 月和
Alexi 的遺族一起在 Espoo Cultural Centre 舉辦。

“They have the full support of our family”, says Alexi’s sister Anna
Laiho, representing the estate.
「我們家人完全支持他們」，Alexi 的姐姐代表所有遺族說到。

“It’s comforting to be able to do something small together in Alexi’s
memory.”
「可以一起追憶 Alexi 然後做點事情令人欣慰。」

Anna Laiho agreed to talk about the final attempts to rescue her brother in
autumn 2020. She, his Australian spouse Kelli Wright-Laiho and a few close
friends again attempted to get him professional help, but he refused.
Anna Laiho 同意在 2020 年秋天最後嘗試談談要如何拯救他的弟弟，她和他的澳洲配偶
Kelli Wright-Laiho 以及一些親近的朋友再次試著要他尋求專業協助，但他拒絕了。

“At heart, he was a warm and caring person, always ready to help others. But
he had his demons, and he wanted to fight those alone”, his sister says.
「在心中，他是個溫暖以及關心他人的人，隨時都準備好要幫助他人，但他有他的惡魔，
但是他想要自己去奮戰。」他的姊姊這樣說到。

“He wanted to make his own choices. For better or worse.”
「不論好壞，他都想要自己做決定。」
