Germany's Metal Hammer magazine recently conducted an interview with bassist Henkka Blacksmith of Finland's CHILDREN OF BODOM. During the interview, Henkka revealed how he, as a boy, listened to metal music while playing table tennis in the basement. Additionally, he explained why SLAYER's Kerry King is the most "metal" person and why he loves to tour the USA.
