News has just broke in Finnish media that heavy metal guitarist Alexi Laiho, best known from Children of Bodom, has died at home last week at age 41.

Details are so far scarce. Apparently Laiho had been suffering from health issues for years, in part due to rough lifestyle, but his sudden death was still a surprise. Laiho had just announced his latest projects this winter.

This cut surprisingly deep for me, even though I wasn't a huge fan by any stretch. Bodom has just been one of those bands you can put on at anytime and they're guaranteed to deliver. I'm really glad to have caught them live at least once.

Too soon to say the least. Without a doubt among the best in his generation RIP.
