On the 19th of December (Mige's Birthday) starting at 21:30 , after 3 years of silence HIMMANIA Radio is coming back in full style. More than two hours mixed set spreading over the whole dyschography of the band, as well as a special minutes for greetings : P The place and time for these who are gonna listen for the first time - FORUM HIM MANIA
The Program: 21:30 - 22:00 - Various 22:00 - 24:00 - HIM 24:00 - Requested Songs
As for the band and what we can expect, well the forecast I am gonna make is based on the release of Screamworks. As we well know Screamworks was out on Febuary the 8th 2010. Exactly two months before this, during the first week of December 2009, Heartkiller was already in the net, and bythe end of January 2010 its video came to the spotlight. If we only guess that Tears on Tape could be released in March 2013, then, this means that by January the 15th we can expect the first song from the album on-line. Of course thi will be more clear around Christmass at Helldone, and we can simply hope that more than 1 -2 new songs will be played live : )
At the moment the album is being mixed by Tim Palmer in London and should be almost ready. Heartagram.COM should be working again pretty pretty soon and enlighten us about the new cover design o f Tears On tape.
HIM will be part of the fests literally through the whole of Europe, and moreover a gig of the band in Bulgaria is very likely to become reality, espeacilally having in mind the fact that they haven't been here for 11 full years and they know this fact very well. Let's not guess, let's just keep our fingers crossed... And lastly, happy first snow outside as well as on our webcite ;)
And finally the video...one not so popular life from our Greek neighbours :) Sweet Pandemonium (Lycabettus Athens 2003) Dim lights

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

I almost forgot! All links in TVRequest have been succesfully renewed!
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
