Ville describes the upcoming album as a newfound light within the darkness, as a hope and reason to get up in the morning. The only song of that type that pops emmedietlly in my head is "You are the one". That used to be one of my favourite songs actually, and now I was just glancin' at an interview he gave before the VD came out. Just for comparison... He said it was going to be a trip to his personal hell.
“I felt that we needed a lot less keyboards and there was just going to be more punching to the face type of thing,” Valo says, referring to the differences between Dark Light and Venus Doom. “The whole vibe seems fresh cause the direction we had with the last album we couldn’t go further. So the album sonically is a bit more sparse. That’s the direction we’re heading; heavier, doomier, and gloomier, and it’s great to tour that kind of stuff.”
So I conclude now we're up for a positive lyrical album but with still gloomy atmosphere.
When talking about the musical references in the album, Valo rattles off Sabbath and old-school Metallica. That rock authenticity and ferocity are evident from the opening match that kicks off the incendiary title track. The savage intensity is kept up in the machine gun style attack of “Love in Cold Blood,” a track that explodes in a vicious guitar solo. The trademark HIM sense of melody is found both in choruses throughout and in tracks like “Dead Lover’s Lane,” as well as the acoustic “Song or Suicide,” a track recorded at L.A.’s historic Chateau Marmont.
These days, it seems as Him had enogh of the musical refferences, and that the only possible musical refference at this point could be themselves. What do you think? Leave a comment below!
