‡ Your favorite website for HIM-related shit got more than a little work done. It's better than ever. There are no more Reviews. They were kind of boring and nobody cared anyway.

A few sections have been combined. "Works" now contains the official and unofficial discography. It's not updated, of course, because that's not how we roll around here.

But what might particularly interest you is the revamped Media Center. Gone are the pictures and slideshows, blah, those sucked anyway. Besides, this is entirely better.

See, I wasn't telling you to join the forum for nothing. Now you're missing out on all the good shit. And don't try to spam your way in, it won't work. Just be a decent member and you'll get in eventually.

‡ Vitamin Records has produced a String Quartet Tribute to our beloved Finns. It's set to be released early next month. If you click here, you can hear samples of the tracks. It sounds pretty interesting.

Here's the tracklist:

Wings of a Butterfly
Killing Loneliness
Lose You Tonight
Join Me
Vampire Heart
Right Here In My Arms
Buried Alive By Love
Your Sweet Six Six Six
Beyond Redemption
Razorblade Kiss
In Joy and Sorrow
J.I.M. (Original composition inspired by the music of HIM)

And, by the way...if you were a member of the forum, with Media section access, you could be putting Kiss of Dawn (Album Version) on your iPod right now. (Credit: Daedalus)

‡ If you've visited Heartagram lately, you would have seen some doors, much like the promotion stuff for Dark Light. This year, we've had a 30 second clip of Love In Cold Blood, and today there's something a bit more rewarding.

HIM’s video for their new single “Kiss of Dawn,” has a secret. Written as part of the original treatment by Director Meiert Avis, you must watch carefully because things are not what they seem - and just when you though you had it all figured out, there is more to find. The video is exclusively available on iTunes today. Once you watch the video go to heartagram.com to solve the mystery. The person who cracks the code will get to see any HIM show of their choice in 2007 or 2008 and meet the band backstage.

HIM will release their new album, Venus Doom, on September 18th via Sire Records. (Credit: Matt Marcheschi at TotalAssault)

"Kiss of Dawn" is even better when it's a studio version. Can't wait to contract VD on 9/18.

‡ Special thanks to HIM-Valo of the forum for all of his hard work lately, please check his site out. If you're not a member of the forum yet, you're missing out...and trust me, it may come in handy some day.

Kiss of Dawn and Passion's Killing Floor (Brussels 07/07/07)

Speaking of "Kiss of Dawn", this is from Heartagram:

The official first single from HIM, "Kiss Of Dawn," will be out soon, but you can premiere it yourself by going to heartagram.com/kissofdawn, getting the sheet music for the song, and performing it yourself before you hear it!

Film yourself (or with friends) performing the song - three entries will be chosen to appear on the new HIM DVD - coming in early 2008! Those three winners will also get a copy of the DVD signed by the band. The three winners will be judged by the originality and quality of the performance. Check out heartagram.com/kissofdawn for rules and how to enter. You must be a resident of the US and 18 or over to win.

Hurry - you have until July 23rd to send in your video entry.

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