Screamworks - Love In Theory and Practice (f.k.a. Fire In The Night)
As we all know according to www.heartagram.com the guys have started recording the album last month. But where are they now? And is Matt Squire really up to the job? Well we can only hope it's going well 'cause this time, not only that the whole thing is gone come out (we all hope it will) a bit later than the rest of the albums, but the small amount of information available, make us all want for more, doesn't it?!
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.”
Together with the fact that right after the release HiM is off to a new tour, first around the Australia and then who knows and that they were exhausted to start with, well we just hope it won't be the first HiM album we won't like. Even though we highly doubt in the very possibility of such thing:)
