† Props go to SolitaryHeartache of the forum for getting this to us!

† HIM's new track "Passion's Killing Floor" will be featured on the Transformers soundtrack out next month, which is kind of neat.

What would be even neater would be to do a tie-in video where Ville transforms into a ten-speed bike (because he's skinny), Linde transforms into a crotch-rocket, Mige transforms into a truck, Gas transforms into an SUV, and Burton turns into a plane.

† Speaking of Venus Doom, you'll have to wait until September 17th to contract VD but maybe you can catch it sooner if you see them on tour this summer. The tracklisting is:

Venus Doom
Love in Cold Blood
Passion's Killing Floor
Kiss of Dawn
Sleepwalking Past Hope
Dead Lover's Lane
Songs or Suicide
Bleedwell
Cyanide Sun

† HIM is gearing up for the release by making a new video, directed by Meiert Avis (Wings of a Butterfly) as there is a casting call out now for the obligatory hot chick lead role.

‡ Don't forget, if you wanna make some cash, we're still looking for a new layout design. Send samples and an estimate to be considered!

† Linkin Park has confirmed that HIM will be joining their Projekt Revolution Tour this Summer. Other bands include Placebo & My Chemical Romance. There are more bands, but neither of us care about them.

† With the new album around the corner, it's time to get this place spruced up. I'm considering hiring someone to make the redesign template as we're just too busy to do it ourselves. If you want to be considered, e-mail some samples & quotes to me.

Some things to consider:

1: The template has to look original & exclusive
2: The template can be plain html (shtml) or flash. NO PHP NUKE.

More details to come as I think of them.

† HIM performed the new track "Dead Lover's Lane" last night at the Give It A Name Festival.

You can check it out for yourself here. It makes my pants fit tight. Huge props to the forum for tracking this down.

*Edit* The new download contains the full track.

† Remember that HER CD? It's pretty rare (only 5k printed), but you can own an AUTOGRAPHED one right now, if the price is right.

† Our good friends over at HIM Club posted up two minute clips from Uneasy Listening Vol. 2 set to release here in a few days. You can check them out here. (Credit: ßeNðeR)

† Ville had a recent interview in Metal Hammer, where he gave more insight to the new album Venus Doom. It's set for a July 10th release date. A few tracks are completed already. The tracks are said to be heavier than ever. The interview even has some lyrics from Passion's Killing Floor as well.
