Children Of Bodom toured actively from 1998 until 2019. They visited a bar in almost every corner of the world they played in. From Hard Rock Café Tokyo to a dive bar in the outskirts of Milwaukee. Everything from the legendary Rainbow Bar and Grill in West Hollywood to the Crobar in London UK.
When the active career of CoB was already coming to an end, the band had a warehouse full of memorabilia and thought that a lot of people would want to see some of this stuff that used to be and still is very meaningful to the band and its career.
The thought of a museum felt a bit foreign but the idea of a bar that works as a museum displaying COB gear and memorabilia seemed quite natural. Together with Jykä Peltonen and Kimmo Helistö, Children Of Bodom built an unholy concoction of hard rock café and dive bar with a lot of Bodom in it. The new HQ of COB combines a museum and a bar but also includes the possibility to experience the Finnish sauna culture, with three saunas at its premises. Situated naturally in Espoo only a stone’s throw away where the band started their career.
