Are You Dead Yet? is the second Children of Bodom album to have two singles from it. "Trashed, Lost & Strungout" was released as anEP and single in 2004, and "In Your Face" was released in August 2005 shortly before the album. It was also their first album with three music videos, with their third video being the title track.
"If You Want Peace... Prepare for War" is the English translation of the Latin phraseSi vis pacem, para bellum and the song "Are You Dead Yet?" is a downloadable song in the music video gameRock Band 2,and it can also be played in some of the otherRock Band games.
The title track's video was shot in part at the Tavastia club in Helsinki, Finland on 13 February 2006. Additional footage for the video was filmed in the US. The clip received its premiere in the US onMTV'sHeadbangers Ball on 18 March 2006 wherein the band made a special appearance. The video for "Are You Dead Yet?" was directed by Ralf Strathmann and involves a rather controversial intimate make out scene that is bit graphic in nature for the actors who were minors at the time.Ashley Matthews (Riley Reid), better known as an American pornographic actress was just fourteen years old when she portrayed a prostitute. And actor Cohlie Brocato was only sixteen years old portraying the male counterpart portrayed in the video, all casting by Ralf Strathmann.
The name of the album and its title track was conceived by Alexi Laiho after an alcohol-related injury. He alludes to this during the band's concert DVD,Chaos Ridden Years, and in a magazine article, says: "I came up with the new album title last winter when we were back home and I went out for a night of drinking. I got a hold of some of the cheapest vodka and just drank and drank and drank, and one thing led to another, so we were outside having fun, and I climbed on top of a car, and slipped and fell off, and next thing I know I was in hospital. I had three broken bones in my wrist and lots of stitches, got kept in over night. So when I woke up the next morning I obviously wasn't feeling too good. I looked in the mirror and said to myself, 'Have you had enough? Are you dead yet?'"[5]
In 2005,Are You Dead Yet? was ranked number 485 inRock Hard magazine's book ofThe 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[12] However, it was criticized byPaul Stenning inTerrorizer as "interminably weak" and destructive of the band's "remaining credibility".[8]
