Jaska agreed to this offer and got the demo tape of the songs two days before they entered the studio, so he couldn't think of too much ideas for his drumming in that short time.
Jaska also pays attention on his health and doesn't drink that much anymore but does jogging and a little bit weightlifting in order to stay fit.
Jaska is without a doubt the most hardworking member in the band when it comes to playing live.

Jaska ha avuto diversi altri progetti, alcuni di loro indipendenti dalla musica.
Jaska ha suonato negli album dei Virtuocity e dei Evemaster, ma poiché entrambe le band non si esibiscono live, non ha rubato troppo tempo al suo lavoro con i Children of Bodom.

It begins with the keyboards blasting into your ears, and eventually ends up with the magnificent drummer Jaska Raatikainen fiercely pounding on the double bass pedal.
There are some mystical moments of the song, especially when the keyboardist plays a tune in the background of the rest of the music.

It is a good song of theirs, and it stands out from most of the other stuff on this album.
It begins with a faint guitar riff that turns into madness as Jaska Raatikainen pounds on the double bass pedal with much skill.

Founded by Alexi and Jaska in 1997, Children Of Bodom have an interesting history behind their name.

Both musicians had known each other since childhood and shared interest for heavy and, especially, death metal bands such as Stone, Entombed and Obituary; together with bassist Samuli Miettinen, they formed the original line-up of the band that would later become Children of Bodom.
The bassist chosen to replace Samuli was Henkka "Blacksmith" Seppälä, whom Alexi and Jaska had previously met at the school they frequented.
Alexi wanted to make use of the keyboards more effectively this time, and Pirisjoki was not fit for the task anymore, thus he was fired from the band — albeit not in a hostile manner — and a friend of Jaska's, a talented pianist called Janne "Warman" Wirman, assumed the role of keyboard player.

This was the band’s first U.S. headline tour, and Alexi Laiho (guitar/vocals), Janne Warman (keyboards), Jaska Raatikainen (drums), Roope Latvala (guitar) and Henkka Seppala (bass) were out for blood.
Laiho and his idol, veteran guitarist Latvala, are a formidable guitar duo that level everything in their path, but it was watching Alexi trade off solos with Warman that stole the show.
The thunderous rhythm section of Raatikainen and Seppala shook the Gypsy to its foundations.
