Wie nun bekannt wurde werden HIM ihr neues Album unter dem Arbeitstitel "Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice" ab August in Los Angeles aufnehmen. Das Album soll voraussichtlich am Valentinstag 2010 erscheinen. Producer wird Matt Squire sein, bekannt durch seine Arbeit mit Panic at the Disco, Boys Like Girls, The Used oder Taking Back Sunday.
Dies und weitere Informationen könnt ihr auch nochmals bei Blabbermouth nachlesen.
Am 09. Juni gibts ein Interview mit News zum neuen Album - Wer mehr Infos will und vielleicht sogar in die Radiosendung reinhören möchte, hier der Link.
Das ist das, was man auf der Metal Hammer Website lesen kann...
“We’re in the songwriting phase, but I always am so it never stops,” explains HIM frontman Ville Valo. “The idea is to write number one hits songs… 13 of them,” he adds with a wry smile. “We’ll figure out who’ll produce it early next year and head into the studio in March or April. Hopefully we’ll be done by the festival season and be able to play new songs there. If the album doesn’t come out in autumn or winter 2009, it’ll be early 2010.”
So what can we expect from the new HIM album?
“I haven’t talked to the band for long yet, but I want to keep the songs all under five minutes and make them really punky and direct. When I say punky I don’t mean sounding like punk, I mean punk in feel. Not so much ear candy. I love over-produced albums but we’ve never tried a more stripped-down, simple approach in a Search And Destroy Iggy Pop and the Stooges type vibe. It’ll still be wanky and melancholy and have all those HIM elements, but just not so much ear candy. Venus Doom was quite a proggy album for us so I’m thinking of doing the opposite with this one.”
And as he explains, being sober has brought out his inner bastard, which we will hear on the new material: “I’m more pissed off and more aggressive. There’s no buffer between me and the real world so I’m the proper cunt I was meant to be.”
Hallo zusammen, heute gibt's wieder mal etwas neues für euch.
SAVE NUTA (Helsinki, Finland) is a musical collaboration involving members of bands like HIM, Scandinavian Music Group, The Latebirds, Donits Osmo Experience, The Wrecking Queens and Stunning Guns. These local heroes got together in order to save their old "Rock'N'Roll High School". This famous youth center in Helsinki's Munkkiniemi is known for its world class recording facilities a.k.a. MD-Studio. The session took place at the studio in question on a grey Saturday afternoon in October 2008. Mixed by Mr. Mikko Karmila and mastering courtesy of our pals at Chartmakers. Special guest on this recording - TOMMY RAMONE!
