HIM are the House Of Blues Artist of The Month
I wish to extend my congratulations to HIM for being the Artist Of The Month at The House Of Blues .
"It's not a happy album, I wouldn't say that," admits HIM frontman Ville Valo of the band's newest release Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice. "But for the first time HIM does acknowledge that there is such a thing called 'happiness,' even if it is far, far away. This album is more a speculation on how to get there, — and that it is possible."
Such song titles as "Heartkiller" (the simultaneously gorgeous and intense first single), "Dying Song," and "Acoustic Funeral" ought to allay any fan fears, even if the album opens with the inviting and intriguing "In Venere Veritas" — loosely Latin for "In Love There Is Truth." Still, Valo recognizes that even the emotional expansion from the full-brooding tone of the band's breakthrough albums Dark Light (2005) and Venus Doom (2007), along with changes in his own life, might be of concern to some.
