I wanted to wait 10 more days, but after playing the
leaked version of "Vampire Heart," "Poison
Heart," and "Something Diabolical" at
least 30 times each , I was so fucking amped I had to
upload the new look. I hope you guys like it. Some sections
aren't quite tweaked to perfection yet, so bear with
us.
Anyway, the new shit is sooo fucking good...I
have to say that I'm more excited for Dark Light
than I was for Love Metal.

Dark Light will be in stores in 10 days, and
11 days internationally, but starting Tuesday the 20th,
you can hear the full record streaming at HotTopic.
There will be a special limited edition of the album
that will be covered with a Heartagram band - so make
sure to grab an early copy in stores.
It may just be my eyes, but doesn't that
look like some sort of Heartagram band on the cover
there? I assume this is their way of keeping the cover
a secret, but giving us a bit more.
Feel free to click on the small picture
to make it "big."

Arriving just in time for the release of Dark Light comes the November issue of Revolver Magazine. HIM has worked its way into this publication before, but this time our Lord Valo's beautiful mug graces the cover. The cover story is "Cult Bands" and, of course, HIM is the top cult band discussed. Others include our beloved Turbonegro and Clutch. Also, aside from a 6 page article, there's a 2 page center-fold poster of the band as well as a Dark Light sticker. I would safely say this is one of HIM's biggest bit of American press, thus far. I picked up a copy of this today, and with the help from my piss-poor scanner, you can check things out.
