The Children Of Bodom man will be handling axe-duties for the Swedish death metallers.

Alexi Laiho will be playing guitar for Hypocrisy on their upcoming US run with Ensiferum, Ex Deo, Blackguard and Swashbuckle.

Hypocrisy frontman Peter Tagtgren released the following statement about the situation:
“We’re very happy to bring Alexi along on this tour and that he’s helping us out with filling the 2nd guitarist position. Funny, the first Children Of Bodom show was a support gig for Hypocrisy on the Nuclear Blast festival in ‘98. Since then me and Alexi have become very good friends. I’ve helped him with producing and he’s helped me by contributing a guitar solo on one of my records with my other band Pain. There will be no shortage of alcohol on this tour that’s for sure.”
