The news are stıll hot, just a countless minutes ago HIM confirmed they will be playing at Download Fest 2013.İt is only the start having in mind the upcoming new album.Many more megafests and tours!We personally should keep our eyes open for dates nearby and around Greece, Turkey,Romania and why not afterall Bulgarıa...it is high time after 11 full years and it seems like next year would be the perfect timing!
And now, after knowing at least one song title let's conclude all:
- the album is expected to be released in February or March 2013 - some of the songs are still waiting to be recorded with lead and backing vocals and acoustic guiters - in November the album will be mixed by Tim Palmer in London - it all should be finished by12-13th of December - still there is no label to deal with the release - and so on and so forth... untill I write down all the news, some won't be actual anymore :)
That's how the compilation looks like. İt is possible already to be purchased in the music shops at the price of 20-25lv.
And now, we keep going with "The old Stuff" of the band and For You (Acoustic at Kelo Club 1997). One of the oldest live performances of the band in floating in the cyber space. Very appropriate to celebrate XX :P
The new album should be finally done now! What comes after is the mixing session in November by Tim Palmer surely, аnd during January 2013 we can be gladly receiving the first single. And yet, some of the new songs we will be able to hear betweeen Christmass and New Years, when the boys will be rocking on the scene of Helldone Festival, which marked the highest ticket office sales this year! The 4 gigs of the band were sold out only for 10 minutes! Only for the 30th and 31st of December the tickets were sold out for the record timing of merely 5 minutes! Congrats to the lucky winners! ;)
The video of this month is the extremely rare recording from 2000 - Zofingen Festival, Switzerland. Dim lights

As you already know, Strange World leaked out in the web just a few days ago. This forced the producers from Sony Music to decide and change the release date of the single from the 21, to the 10th of September. We are expecting the video in the next few days. If you wish to support the band you could buy the track on-line for the price of only 1 euro from iTunes or Amazon. The good thing, however, is that the song managed to reach TOP5 of the mostly purchased tracks in Amazon, which is a great sign for one good return!
And s, the band has been in studio for over a week now recording the new tracks of the upcoming album named Tears On Tape. I am repeating that news again because there are constantly rumours stating different titles for the project. That's why, please believe only to the official information, released in the main forum or facebook page.
In a short interview given for MTV3, Seppo confirmed the complete rehalibitation of Gas and his arm and is certain that he will be ready for the long tours in front of the band through out 2013. .More information we can find out from Ville, in an article in Soundii magazine, which is expected to reach us next week.
And here comes a video filmed by Linde himself during the work on Strange World recordings and the equipment he used for the song itself. Dim lights

Ohh dear, where should I start from! So many news are out and just for a few days. Let's preoritize! The newest HIM album will be called Tears On Tape and for now it is expected to be released in 2013!The boys will enter the studio in early September togather with Hiili Hiilesmaa, and in November the album will be mixed by Tim Palmer.
This year there will be a Helldone Fest! The guys will play 4 complete gigs at Tavastia club and I suspect that they will be introducing us to some new songs as well!
And now it is time to discuss the most intriguing of all news! :) On 26th of October in Finland will be released the compilation "XX - Two Decades Of Love Metal", that will include songs from all the band's records plus one new song, named Strange World and played originally by Kevin Grivois. The CD will be released only in Europe by Sony Music, and it is certain that for now the label will release only this CD, wich means that the band still haven't had concrete arrangement with any new label.
That's how the cover will look like, designed by the artist "Stefan Lindfors" Ето и списъка с песните:
01. Strange World (KE cover) 02. Join Me In Death 03. Heartkiller 04. Rip Out The Wings Of A Butterfly 05. The Kiss Of Dawn (Radio edit) 06. The Funeral Of Hearts (Radio edit) 07. Right Here In My Arms (Radio edit) 08. Pretending 09. Buried Alive By Love (Radio edit) 10. Gone With The Sin
11. Your Sweet Six Six Six 12. The Sacrament (Radio edit) 13. Wicked Game (CHRIS ISAAK cover) 14. Killing Loneliness 15. Bleed Well (Radio edit) 16. In Joy And Sorrow (Radio edit) 17. Poison Girl 18. Scared To Death 19. When Love And Death Embrace (Radio edit) 20. Heartache Every Moment
As you can see yourselve all the songs are singles with released videos to them. The only exception is Your Sweet Six Six Six, which, considering the way it is written, seems to be the original version from Greatest LoveSong. For Strange World will be filmed a video, that we will be able to enjoy in the end of September.
And now, properly for the finale a bit of photos......... :PPPPPPP
Well, happy anniversary and everyone have a happy summertime!Let's hope we will not celebrate something like the 20th anniversary from HIM's concert in Bulgaria any time soon, but they will surprise us and will visit sooner than we expect, like in 2013 for instance. ;)
And of course without a doubt - Join me (Live in SOFIA 07.07.2002) Greeting to the greatest audiance and the greates gig ever, that the band have ever done... :) Dim lights

Maybe most of you know about the 'hot' picture of Ville that was realeased just a few days ago, taken by Mige. The reason, however, is not to do with the band, but with the photographer Paul Harries, who started a sale of 50 items of his favourit Ville photograph that he has ever made...The poster is at dimensions 50х60cm and each copy is personally signed by Ville! the price is 130£, which is about 320лв and can be ordered from HERE
Apart from that for now what is certain (from different sourses) that the condition of Gas is getting better and that the new HIM album will be on sale in the beginning of 1013!!!

It is high-time to add the Rock am Ring 2010 to the collection of concerts, we've got on record. It took more time than predicted, but eventually I think that it came out brilliantly, as you soon will be convinced yourselve! Enjoy! :)
