Bodom After Midnight issued three-track EP Paint The Sky With Blood on April 23rd, 2021 through Napalm Records.

Bodom After Midnight commented: “Like ourselves, Alexi was beyond stoked about these songs and anxious to get these out so we are happy that we can fulfill his wish. Needless to say that we are honoured and proud to be a part of his very last creative work and unleash it the way he wanted it to. It’s time to let the beast out of the cage one more time as a celebration of Alexi’s music, legacy and the man himself.”

Rounding out the EP is a cover rendition of ‘Where Dead Angels Lie’; written by mainman Jon Nödtveidt, its original version appeared on the November 1995 Dissection album Storm Of The Light’s Bane.
