As I already mentioned last time, April is the month when we will know more about Gas and his condition and where is the band heading from here. In the best occasion, he will be ready to start practising again and they will manage to perform a few times in summertime. Another interesting fact is that, according to Seppo, the songs for the new album are SORTED! Well, it is still uclear wheather they will get in the studio to record them or they have already been mixed and dealt with. So let's hope for great news at Easter!
It's getting harder and harder to choose lives. I changed at least 3 times the Mart video of the month. ;) I wish they could play this one more often at gigs. This is a video from 2005. The period is known for the Dark Light hysteria in the USA.

Let's start the new year with a good news, of course concerning Ville! Radio YleX (Finland) announced Ville Valo for the best frontman in Finland after a short poll among over 15 000 people. So that's where the news end :)
There is no track of the band...it seems like they have hidden into the studio rehearsing and working hard. As for the album - supposingly the release would be in August or September. The possibility to be out during the first half of the year is almost near the zero and besides there is not enought time for such a follow-on...in this case at least the official webpage should have been available by now. Let's hope they haven't decided to leave it for December 2012 :) I do believe that the waiting will be wеll- deserved! ;)
As for the video of the month.... simply check it out :) I apologyze for the bad quality but there is no better one available. The song is a cover of The 13 Floor Elevator. HIM - Don't Shake My Lucifer (Live at Gurten Festival 2000) Dim lights
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
