TRUTH BE TOLD

Quem eram as crianças do Lago Bodom, q batizaram o Children Of Bodom? Ou Boredom. História nem tão desconhecida assim.

Children of Bodom acquired their name from an infamous, unsolved murder that took place in Finland at Lake Bodom in 1960. Four teenagers camping by the lake were brutally attacked in their tent by an unknown assailant; three died by stabbing and bludgeoning, while the fourth, Nils Gustafsson, survived despite suffering severe injuries.

The murders passed into urban legend, and Gustafsson is said to have claimed that a red-eyed figure, or even the Grim Reaper, was responsible. Most Children of Bodom albums feature at least one song directly inspired by the Lake Bodom murders, and the Grim Reaper became an unofficial band mascot – jokingly nicknamed “Roy” – and has appeared on all of their album covers to date.

In 2004, 44 years after the event, the Finnish Police arrested Nils Gustafsson on suspicion that he himself had been the murderer. In October 2005, Gustafsson was acquitted of all charges and compensated by the state, and the murders remain unsolved.
