All'inizio del giugno 2008, dopo mesi e mesi di ipotetiche conversazioni, Sara, Davide, Riccardo ed io abbiamo fondato il Circle of HIM Italian Fan Club con l'obbiettivo di creare un Fan Club attivo dedicato agli Him e alla loro meravigliosa musica. A fine giugno 2008 è uscita la prima fanzine del fan club e in questi giorni stiamo ultimando il secondo numero che verrà inviato a tutti gli iscritti. Durante la scorsa estate Sara ed io ci siamo attivate nel fare il primo passo verso il riconoscimento da parte di Heartagram.com. Sarà una strada lunga, quella verso l'ufficialità, ma noi quattro siamo fermamente decisi a percorrerla tutta! Chi volesse accompagnarci in quest'avventura può iscriversi diventando membro del Circle of Him. L'iscrizione gli da diritto a tre fanzine l'anno più sorprese aggiuntive, la tessera nominativa numerata, info riservate agli iscritti, materiale multimedia esclusivo visibile nella sezione protetta del fanclub.

Your track-by-track guide to the brand new album from HIM, ‘Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice’.

Metal Hammer was this afternoon treated to a hearing of the brand new HIM album, ‘Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice’. Here, for the first time anywhere in the world, is our track-by-track guide.

Ode To Solitude – Eerie industrial drums lead into a beast of a riff. It sounds like 80’s hair metal with a punk chug and all wrapped up in HIM’s inimitable style. The chorus has an insanely catchy hook that evolves around the lyric “here’s to pain”. A storming, up-tempo start to the album.

Scared To Death – It’s a very poppy second track. By that we mean that it’s tailor-made for the radio. It’s played at a similar pace to Funeral Of Hearts but doesn’t have the same moody overtones. The lead hook evolves around the lyrics “I’m not afraid to say I love you”.

Heart Killer – After an intro that sounds like it was put together on a Casio-keyboard, arena-sized guitars crash through the barricades. HIM are setting their stall out here, it’s the commercial know-how of Dark Light combined with the pace of Love Metal. There’s an epic building solo in the middle too, really impressive stuff.

Dying Song – It’s got the sound of a single. Off-kilter drums build to a massive, epic chorus where Ville croons that he’s shedding skin to a dying soul. There’s also a heavily Slash-influenced solo on display.

Disarm Me – Opening with acoustic guitars, the 5th track is a sweeping ballad that sounds like it could be the gothic soundtrack to a Hollywood blockbuster. Twilightcore? Hmmm, possibly not but it’s certainly in that ball-park.

Love The Hardest Way – The sound of a band rediscovering their strongest areas of expertise. Unmistakably HIM, it’s fuel-injected and recapturing the anthemic sounds of the Love Metal era.

Katherine Wheel – Atmospheric verses give way to one of the finest choruses on the album. “These are the things that you make me do” sings Ville.

In The Arms Of Rain – Once again, a bizarre keyboard intro that sounds like it could be lifted direct from the 80’s video-game Pong (ask your dad). The song itself sounds like Killing Loneliness on steroids. Massive vocal hooks all around this track and if it’s not called ‘In The Arms Of Rain’, we’ll eat our hat.

Come di consueto ci sarà la Euro-Rock Radio's HIM Night il 9 giugno dove verranno annunciate altre news sul nuovo album degli HIM, news avute direttamente da Ville e dal manager degli HIM Seppo!

Ecco il sito

http://www.euro-rockradio.com/

Non ho mai avuto dubbi sulla sua forza di volontà per cui sono felicissima di poter festeggiare questi due anni da sobrio di Ville.....

Sono fiera di te.......

E lo sono tutti i fan degli HIM

Il nostro Migio è stato intervistato da Radio Rock ecco un sunto di ciò che ha detto!

- Preparations for the new album have progressed smoothly. It has been a lot of fun but also laborious and time-consuming. Mige said he is a little bit uncertain or nervous about it too, as always when something new is being created.

- Currently, the album is at the pre-production phase: the band is puzzling over questions like who would be the best producer, where the album should be recorded and how it should be recorded.

- Personally, Mige would like to become engaged with something new when working with this album. He would like to work in a new studio and with new people. He hopes that the new producer is - at least mentally - younger than any member of HIM.

- The band still has a couple of options in terms of the album's producer and Ville is (or "was" as the interview was obviously canned) currently in the US meeting those guys. Mige said that some very interesting persons have been interested in the job.

- According to Mige, the choice of the studio is not a big deal. It all depends on the producer - where s/he wants to work in. All the studios have nowadays same sort of equipment (software) and it is possible to make a great recortd even in a garage.
