H.I.M.: New Songs Posted Online
June 6, 2005H.I.M. fan site H-I-M666 Club has uploaded two new H.I.M. songs recorded during the band's appearance at the Rock Am Ring festival in Germany over the weekend. Check out the tracks "Killing Loneliness" (audio) and "Vampire Heart" (audio).
As previously reported, H.I.M.'s new album, "Dark Light", is scheduled for release on September 26 via Sire Records.
According to Billboard.com, "Dark Light" was mixed at New York's Electric Lady studios with producer Tim Palmer (DAVID BOWIE, OZZY OSBOURNE). Frontman Ville Valo told Finland's Ilta-Sanomat magazine that the group's initial choice of mixer for the new album, Andy Wallace (NIRVANA, KORN, LIMP BIZKIT, DISTURBED) was fired one week into the process because he made H.I.M. sound like "one of those American bands with no personality." "He didn't understand our Scandinavian 'twistedness,'" Ville said.
The follow-up to 2003's "Love Metal", "Dark Light" was recorded at Los Angeles' Paramour studios with Palmer, who also worked on the band's last album.
Ville Valo and his cohorts have lined up a handful of European and Japanese festival appearances during the summer. A North American jaunt is being penciled in for October and November.
