In the new edition of "Metal Hammer", there is a great article about the new HIM album, because the authors where able to listen to the new album!! The article is this:

"Your track-by-track guide to the brand new album from HIM, ‘Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice’.

Metal Hammer was this afternoon treated to a hearing of the brand new HIM album, ‘Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice’. Here, for the first time anywhere in the world, is our track-by-track guide.
 
Ode To Solitude – Eerie industrial drums lead into a beast of a riff. It sounds like 80’s hair metal with a punk chug and all wrapped up in HIM’s inimitable style. The chorus has an insanely catchy hook that evolves around the lyric “here’s to pain”. A storming, up-tempo start to the album.
 
Scared To Death – It’s a very poppy second track. By that we mean that it’s tailor-made for the radio. It’s played at a similar pace to Funeral Of Hearts but doesn’t have the same moody overtones. The lead hook evolves around the lyrics “I’m not afraid to say I love you”.
 
Heart Killer – After an intro that sounds like it was put together on a Casio-keyboard, arena-sized guitars crash through the barricades. HIM are setting their stall out here, it’s the commercial know-how of Dark Light combined with the pace of Love Metal. There’s an epic building solo in the middle too, really impressive stuff.
 
Dying Song – It’s got the sound of a single. Off-kilter drums build to a massive, epic chorus where Ville croons that he’s shedding skin to a dying soul. There’s also a heavily Slash-influenced solo on display.
 
Disarm Me – Opening with acoustic guitars, the 5th track is a sweeping ballad that sounds like it could be the gothic soundtrack to a Hollywood blockbuster. Twilightcore? Hmmm, possibly not but it’s certainly in that ball-park.
 
Love The Hardest Way – The sound of a band rediscovering their strongest areas of expertise. Unmistakably HIM, it’s fuel-injected and recapturing the anthemic sounds of the Love Metal era.
 
Katherine Wheel – Atmospheric verses give way to one of the finest choruses on the album. “These are the things that you make me do” sings Ville.
 
In The Arms Of Rain – Once again, a bizarre keyboard intro that sounds like it could be lifted direct from the 80’s video-game Pong (ask your dad). The song itself sounds like Killing Loneliness on steroids. Massive vocal hooks all around this track and if it’s not called ‘In The Arms Of Rain’, we’ll eat our hat.
 
Shatter Me With Hope – The heaviest moment of the record so far, HIM break out the palm-muted riffs but it does once again have a very radio-friendly edge. Be warned: there’s a monster of a dirty riff in the middle of this one.
 
In Venere Veritas – “Let’s fall apart together now” is the sultry introduction to this slick and club-friendly track. There’s an odd almost monk-chanting moment in the middle but this is perhaps the poppiest track on the album.
 
Acoustic Funeral – Keyboards that sound as if they could come from a music box usher in a massively dramatic track that builds around sweeping, ringing power chords. Not a full-on ballad but certainly one of the more tender moments on the album.
 
St Valentine – A drum n’ bass (yep, you read that correctly) intro gives way to a stomping riff. HIM reach out beyond their comfort zone and into the unknown on a song that continuously mentions St Valentine. It’s bold and brave but it certainly works!
 
Smother A Heart – And now for something completely different. 80’s fat bass sound that sounds as though it’s been lifted from a horror movie from the same era. Gentle electronic drums play on this ambient ode that sounds like DJ Shadow’s interpretation of HIM. It’s still distinctly HIM because of Ville’s unique vocal tones but it’s done in a electronic/restrained way. One of the best tracks on the album but this will definitely ruffle a few feathers.
 
‘Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice’ is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2010.

24th January 2009:

There is a new interview from a finnish magazin. It is about the new album (translation by sinesery from Valo Daily):

WILL HIM RECORD THEIR NEXT ALBUM IN JAMAICA?

HIM played about 170 gigs after their last studio album. At the end of last year, their singer and songwriter spent about three weeks in California planning the future with people from the record label.

Ville Valo brought home from his trip also two new tattoo. Kat von D has tattooed the portrait of Maya Deren on his chest and of Klaus Kinski on the left side of his stomach.

There’s a rumor circulating about Ville being part of the music team for Tim Burton’s new film. This the singer denies.

“I hadn’t even heard about that. It would be cool though.”

Along with some side projects, he has concentrated on making new songs for HIM. Valo says that he has “eight or nine” songs at a point where he can consider presenting them to the band.

He hopes a new HIM album will be released in twelve months. It is well known that Ville likes to set deadlines to motivate himself to work, and he sees the beginning of the year as a good time for releasing an album.

“It would be an ideal situation if we could start a world tour right after Helldone 2009. But that means that we would have to release an album at about the same time. Which means that we would have to go to the studio pretty soon and finish recording before autumn. The album would have to be completely done by next Christmas.”

HIM recorded their latest album at Finnvox (in Helsinki), but they are planning on recording the next one outside of Finland.

“The good thing about recording close to home is that you have your own bed and your sweetheart or family close by. On the other hand, that doesn’t make concentrating on working any easier. If you look at how we’ve done things in the past, it’s time for a foreign studio again.”

“It has always been nice to record in England. The older studios there often have some sort of rock myths associated with them. But it would be nice to try a new place too. I have actually looked into a few studios in Jamaica. They’re damn expensive, but the surroundings can hardly get any better than that.”

14th January 2009:

Ville has been at a lecture at University of Helsinki and also spoke there.

20th December 2008:

Acording to an interview with Metal Hammer (UK) with Ville, we can expect the release of the next HIM album in late 2009 or early 2010:

“We’re in the songwriting phase, but I always am so it never stops,” explains HIM frontman Ville Valo. “The idea is to write number one hits songs… 13 of them,” he adds with a wry smile. “We’ll figure out who’ll produce it early next year and head into the studio in March or April. Hopefully we’ll be done by the festival season and be able to play new songs there. If the album doesn’t come out in autumn or winter 2009, it’ll be early 2010.”

So what can we expect from the new HIM album?

“I haven’t talked to the band for long yet, but I want to keep the songs all under five minutes and make them really punky and direct. When I say punky I don’t mean sounding like punk, I mean punk in feel. Not so much ear candy. I love over-produced albums but we’ve never tried a more stripped-down, simple approach in a Search And Destroy Iggy Pop and the Stooges type vibe. It’ll still be wanky and melancholy and have all those HIM elements, but just not so much ear candy. Venus Doom was quite a proggy album for us so I’m thinking of doing the opposite with this one.”

And as he explains, being sober has brought out his inner bastard, which we will hear on the new material: “I’m more pissed off and more aggressive. There’s no buffer between me and the real world so I’m the proper cunt I was meant to be.”
