Quotes, info & rumors:
Dec 17/2008 (Metal Hammer): Ville Valo mentions the band is in the songwriting phase. "The idea is to write number one hits songs... 13 of them." He says they'll figure out who'll produce it next year with plans to enter in the studio in March or April of 2009. Talking more about the record, Valo has said "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." He also explains, being sober has brought out his inner bastard, which we will hear on the new material.
May 26/2009 (Iltasanomat): Seppo Vesterinen was interviewed by Finnish newspaper Iltasanomat regarding the status of HIM's current plans for this year and beyond. Vesterinen mentioned the band will not be doing any festival appearances this year due to concentrating and recording the new album. They do not want to make a mistake and interrupt recording processes with live shows. The new album will be released next year.
June 9/2009 (Euro-Rock Radio): Ville made an interview with Renegade Radio during the Euro-Rock Radio show (mp3) on June 9. Here are highlights from the interview:
* It now seems certain that HIM's seventh studio album is titled SCREAMWORKS: A Theory in Love and Practice according to Heartagram, but according to Ville it's actually "Love in theory and practice".
* Valo mentioned recording will happen in Los Angeles hopefully in the beginning of August, working with Washington D.C. producer Matt Squire, who is currently located in Los Angeles. The sound of the album keeps changing every day and the songs would land somewhere between "(Rip Out) the Wings of a Butterfly", "The Funeral of Hearts" and "Right Here in My Arms". "It's pretty '80s it's really direct, straight forward and very sing along."
* Being at their rehearsal space daily for about 12 hours, they have about 11 to 12 songs now and hopefully having 15 for the album. "I haven't been going out at all. I've been back home strumming the acoustic guitar, writing down lyrics, working on Pro-Tools and Linde has been picking me up to go rehearsals every other day. ... They have a chorus and they have a verse and they have, maybe some of them have a pre-chorus and they have a middle section (bridge) and maybe some rip-off '80s heavy metal guitar in-between and then it's double chorus and end."
* He says the idea is to get the new album out on Valentine's Day (Feb. 14, 2010) - seeing they go into the studio in August, and it should take from then til' September of this year. They hope to have mixing began before Halloween and then figure out cover art work along with album mastering.
