[edit] Production
While writing and recording the album, Alexi Laiho had stated he felt very aggressive, and as a consequence the songs would be faster and "thrashier" than the songs displayed on their previous release, Are You Dead Yet?. He notified fans, however, that certain parts of the album will also be more progressive[2], as heard on "LoBodomy." The lyrics cover similar territory as previous releases.
[edit] Release
The first single was the title track, which was released in Finland on February 27, 2008, and features the cover song "Lookin' Out My Back Door" as a b-side. The videos for "Blooddrunk" and "Hellhounds on My Trail" were shot in Berlin, Germany in December 2007. Blooddrunk deputed at number 22 on the Billboard 200, making it the bands highest charted album thus far in their career. [3]
The band streamed "Blooddrunk" on their MySpace page a week before its release. Many reviewers judged the album before its initial debut in stores which led to mediocre reviews. However the album has also received numerous positive reviews since its release.
