HIM name new album

Finnish got metallers HIM have revealed their name of their upcoming new album.

The follow-up to 2005's 'Dark Light' will be called 'Venus Doom' and, according to the band's frontman Ville Valo it's "going to be a lot heavier than anything we've done before."

"We wanted to make a really rockin' album, one that would explode your speakers," he told MTV News. "But we also wanted to maintain the melancholy aspects of love and loss in the lyrics and then have the really sweet vocals amidst this storm of guitars. It's like we're mixing My Bloody Valentine's 'Loveless' with Metallica's 'Master of Puppets'. There won't be as much ear candy on this one. Really, we just wanted to rock our own socks off."

'Venus Doom' will be released through Warner Bros in September.

Oh and I'm willing to bet that a UK tour will follow the album's release, cos I missed them last time round when I was only just getting into HIM - and Metal music for that matter. From what I've heard they're a great live band.

HIM Website

It looks like HIM may be posting three of the new songs on their website, www.heartagram.com, but there is something wrong with the main page. The main page states "Check out the new Static-X media player and hear three new..." and then the message is cut off and says "loading" but nothing happens. Keep checking back on the site to see if they fix the problem!!

Yes, Savvy, It's True!

SEPT 4TH IS THE DAY SAVVY!!! Though my birthday is a few days later, I guess you and I both will get something we want for our birthdays this year!! Now all I need is for them to announce the dates for the "Venus Doom" tour and find out when they will be in NYC!! I don't care if I have to sell blood to get a ticket, I'm not going to miss that show for anything!!
