or if you're feeling nostalgic, check out HIM's classic
"Join Me" from Razorblade Romance. Check
back often, because next week, exclusive new content will
be added only at MTV.com.

¤ HIM has unleashed a
brand new e-card for your consumption. The only audio
that is on now is "Wings of a Butterfly" but it
also features the video, podcasts,
photos, the new bio, and all your other HIM needs in one
handy dandy link to spread around.
¤ Even though I have no intentions
of putting it up until September, I just had to let you
guys see the new layout.* It's not quite 100% finished,
just need to add some frills. Shane's
gonna kill me...but I'm still better than him at Tic-Tac-Toe.
*8/19/05: I've removed it for now.
Shane's Edit: Since Jay is so lazy and doesn't look for any real news, I've done it. Apparently there's 2 new US tour dates released. The first one happens to be the one I'll most likely be at. October 21 at the Quest Club in Minneapolis. The other is November 3 at the House of Blues, Orlando. I already checked out the Quest gig, and it's on their website as well as ticketmaster. Those go on sale August 27 and the same goes for Orlando.
Also, for those of you who missed it, HIM was featured on Viva La Bam last Sunday on MTV. The show was based around Bam running around Finland and Russia in search of Raab's former wife... and also attending Ruisrock festival. Valo accompanied Bam on some of his adventures, as did Jussi of The 69 Eyes. Towards the end, at Ruisrock, they showed clips of HIM's performance of "Vampire Heart" which was pretty damn cool. I took some screen caps of it for you all to see. Enjoy.

Wings of a Butterfly Video & Mo'- Posted by:

¤
The Gatekeeper came through yesterday and posted the video
to Wings of A Butterfly. The single is to be released in
late August or early September.
¤ And I know you're just dying
to sing along, so have it:
Heaven ablaze in our eyes
We're standing still in time
The blood on our hands is the wine
We offer as sacrifice
Come on and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul
This endless mercy mile
We're crawling side by side
With hell freezing over in our eyes
Gods kneel before our crime
Come on and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul

Dark Light - Internet Only Edition {Buy
Now}
¤ HIM has created a special edition of
Dark Light with 2 extra songs and more just for their
online fans. It comes in a collectible tin box that holds:
¤ The full album plus two bonus
tracks - "Venus (In Our Blood)" and "The
Cage"
¤ 32-page booklet including handwritten lyrics
from Ville, plus fan tattoo pictures and more
¤ HIM logo-flashlight keychain in a velvet
bag that projects the Heartagram on a wall
I
ordered my copies yesterday, so hurry your asses up and
get yours!
Wallpapers
¤ I just posted up quite a
few new wallpapers. To everyone who submitted one, thank
you very much, I appreciate the effort.
Bootlegs 'n Shit
¤ Just so everyone knows, I won't be taking any
new trade requests during the month of August. I'll be out
of town off and on pretty much all month. I'll still complete
the trades I currently have to do during this time, just
be patient.
¤ I am looking into moving
the site to a dedicated server soon. What that means is
a bigger and better server that can handle a very large
amount of traffic and downloads and a few other things that
I'm going to keep to myself for now in fear that I never
produce them or they fail miserably.
With that will/should come a new look to the
site, maybe something that looks like it ties in with the
new album. All of this is a few months from becoming a reality,
so just sit tight until then.

Behind The Crimson Door Lyrics- Posted by:
(7.20.05) |

¤ I just received the lyrics to "Behind
The Crimson Door," the final track on Dark Light.
Please note that I'm only guessing at the pattern. (Credit:
Michelle @ Total Assault)
Covered the carcass of time with flowers
To send the scent of blame to the grave
Set the darkest thoughts on fire
And watched the ashes climb to Heaven's gates we hide
Behind the crimson door while the summer is killed by the
fall alive Behind the crimson door while the winter sings:
"Your love will be the death of me"
Death served wine for lovers
Brought from the world where devils reign and intoxicated
angels With sorrow they witnessed in the eyes of their slaves
¤ As you may have noticed, the heartagram
has been modified a bit. It's very important that this version
is passed around like the homecoming queen. Cut and paste

¤ Revolver magazine has
published an article about HIM and the new album. They also
included some of the lyrics to "Face of God."
I'll get you guys a scan this week, but here is what they
published:
I'm drained but aching for more
And the devil inside is reading
The words of the saddest poem
To be engraved on the stone of my grave
I'd kill to share your pain (and carry
the shame)
And sell my soul for you just to say:
I dream what you're dreaming
I feel what you're feeling
Love's our shadow on the wall
With the Face of God
You dream what I'm Dreaming
And See what I'm seeing
Love's our shadow on the wall
With the Face of God
Nothing will be enough for the ones
Who keep on stumbling in the garden
Of withering trust about to converge to leave
¤ As you may have heard, Ville
is engaged to his girlfriend Jonna. He proposed at the Ruisrock
Festival and apparently they got matching DILLIGAF ring
tattoos that stands for "Does It Look Like I Give A
Fuck?" I'm not so sure about the ring tattoo thing,
so take that with a grain of salt.
Bam also has the DILLIGAF tattoo on his wrist,
and there was a picture of him and some random girl showing
off their matching DILLIGAF tattoos, so there could have
been some sort of mix up in the news story. (I just heard
that it was their names that were tattooed instead of DILLIGAF.)
In a side note, I tried to be cool like everyone
else and get the same tattoo behind my ear, but the artist
fucked up and inked "DILLIFAG" instead. I am sad.
¤ According to N-Joy, a German
radio station, HIM is going to play a secret gig in Hamburg.
As I understand it, the only way to get a ticket is to be
an N-Joy listener. The gig is said to set to happen in a
castle. (Credit: HIM666
Club)
¤ Bam is reported to be setting
up his own Viva La Bands tour. The tour will feature bands
from the CD of the same name. HIM is set to headline a few
shows, Detroit being one of them. cKy will be the headliner
the days HIM doesn't. Other bands set to perform are Cradle
of Filth,Turbonegro and Negative. No dates have been set,
but we'll keep you posted. (Credit: HIM666
Club)
¤ HIM is set to perform at the
Voodoo Festival in New Orleans Halloween weekend. Nine Inch
Nails will headline the festival. Other bands set to perform
are The Flaming Lips, Billy fucking Idol, Queens of the
Stone Age, Mindless Self Indulgence, My Chemical Romance,
Cake, and Joss Stone. Check out the rest of the initial
lineup here.
This suggests the approximate time that HIM
will be touring the US. Skindred
and Finch
will be the opening bands for this tour. No dates have been
announced as of yet. (Credit: Blabbermouth)
¤ If you have scans and news
blurbs, feel more than welcomed to send them in. I'd like
to post more scans for everyone, but I don't have access
to every magazine. You'll get full credit for sending in
the scan or news item, of course.
