There is no new information about what is going on with the band. Basically Gas should have recovered completely by now and should be intensively rehearsing. The new album is in process of developing. Let's hope that the next news is gonna ephasize on its being completed and not on them getting to the studio. :)
And here it comes an antique from the videography of the band. Just in the very beggining with some of the old band members ;)

Only a few days ago a short interview featuring Ville poped out from Revolver magazine where he was chosen to be the Hottest Dude in Hard Rock and Metal. Voters became more than 400, 000 people, 150, 000 of which voted for Ville. In the interview he reveals why they have slowed down the work on the new album and when we can expect the new songs. It turns out that Gas had some problems with his arms wich was the main reason to postpone the rehearsals. It seems, though, that from December on everything will be fine and they can continue working. :) The whole interview you can read from HERE

There is nothing true in the roumors that there is not going to be a new album. There is going to be a new album, it is going to be out in the begining of 2012 and its name is... :) well, soon we will know this. Some people think that it will be named Heartagram , which is quite interesting as a variant. The reason for that is the crash of heartagram.com , where you can see written [hahrt-uh-gram], so what persentage of truth is in this roumor you can tell yourselve.
As long as I know Ville and Linde have been spotted in Los Angelis, so I guess it has something to do with the job. In spite of their efforts to keep us in the dark, the guys are intensively working on the new project. It is to bees which label they are gonna chose, how are the recording going, what is its name, how many song it will contain and so on and so forth. Do not forget that in the end they know what they are doing and they are doing it well! The relationship between them is so old and strong , family-like one, and it will be almost impossible to seperate as a band. Ville will be occupied with music for life as well as the rest of the boys. In the end, they proved that this the reason why they were born and it is not a random accident that they gathered. HIM are one of the most permenent bands in the last 15 years. Although they write slowly their music they succeed to have a new album every two years and as you see they haven't missed by one! However... I went too deep into the subject ;) Because the summer here was quite slow I had to take off some of the links in TVRequest. Most of the links will be replaced with new ones, but this will happen smoothly.

The official website of the band www.heartagram.com has been closed. Do not pannic people, the website is not permanently closed, but stopped with no note for how long but maybe this whole story hides a great future surprise ;) In my oppinion it won't be less than a month or two, maybe more but one of the reasons is the fact that the website is no longer hosted by Warner in US, but its new home is nowhere else but Finland :P If you wonder what exactly is going on - its simple: some other people will take care of the website from now on. These people will create a new design, they will bring in some new idas and when all is done will be launched back again togather with the new album.
The other more important news is that Linde is working on his 3d album. With the name Daniel Lioneye, he already has two albums, very different one from another when it comes to styles. The third soumds like it will be some kind of a mixture between the two... :D The whole interview can be read HERE

In the official website of Helldone was announced that his year, as well, the festival won't take place. The reason, as mentioned, is that HIM are working on their new album and will be occupied completely with it. Let's hope that since September "the curtains will fall down" and we will find out more about their new ideas and plans. :)

The video of May is one of the coolest ones we've posted so far. It is from the long past 2000 from the Harald Schmidt show, where (as you will see yourselves) the band is rocking quite a big time. Those who's been listening to the band since there know that at that time the hysteria around HIM was huge and the band being at the TV was an everyday experience. :)
I have something more important to say, though. There have been rumours about it but I got a confirmation just now. It is about the interview for the Finnish meadia that Linde gave after the USA tour. To the question what is going on from now on he said that HIM have always been a priority in his life ( when compared to Daniel Leoneye project) and that the break for the band is over now, so they are gonna start working on the "new stuff"!
And so...it looks like that the guys are recording demos for the new album. I think that they have already figured out the thing with the new publisher and this will be announced quite soon. There are no dates for gigs in the summer though, and there is almost no time left. It won't be a surprise if they do a few appearances on native land but for other countries it is highly unlikely.Most of the fests have already got their schedules and bands announced.
Only the time will show so let's hope this will be sooner :)
