A Tribute To The Reaper – Parasite Inc. – digital single of “Homeland” released

Reaper Entertainment proudly presents the first single from the upcoming tribute sampler “A Tribute To The Reaper”: Parasite Inc. with their powerful cover of “Homeland”.

Unlike the other tracks on the compilation, Parasite Inc. went all the way back to the very roots of Children of Bodom – “Homeland” stems from Alexi Laiho’s pre-Bodom project IneartheD. With this bold choice, the German melodic death metal act revives a hidden gem of metal history and transforms it with their own distinctive energy and sound.

We grew up with the music of Children of Bodom and it has accompanied us over the years – so it only felt natural to contribute a track,” the band explains. “With Homeland, we deliberately chose a song that many may have never heard before. We are excited to revive this piece of melodic death metal history – and to present it in our own Parasite Inc. version.

“Homeland” is now available on all digital platforms as the first release from “A Tribute To The Reaper” – a collective project uniting the Reaper Entertainment roster in honor of Children of Bodom’s immortal legacy.

All tribute tracks will later be compiled on the exclusive CD sampler “A Tribute To The Reaper”, available for free with every order from the official Children of Bodom Shop starting late October 2025.

This marks just the beginning – more singles and covers from the tribute project will follow soon.
