Are You Dead Yet? is the fifth album by the Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom. It was released in Finland on September 14, 2005 and internationally on September 19, 2005 under the Century Media label. It is the first Children Of Bodom album to feature guitarist Roope Latvala (Stone, Sinergy, ex-Waltari), due to the departure of Alexander Kuoppala. In this album, the band has chosen the dropped C tuning (typical drop D tuned down a whole step), which differs from the "whole step down" tuning previously employed. The power metal influences previously prominent, are also greatly reduced in this album. Image File history File links Are_You_Dead_Yet?_(album). ...
