“It’s sad but true. Few bands can dive headfirst into heartache and come out of it sounding evil. HIM wield that unsavory, ungodly and undeniable power. Yes, it’s the time honored tradition of being heavy enough for the boys in the crowd and heart-y enough for the girls, yet no one really possesses that dynamic anymore. HIM bubbles over with it—right down to their Heartagram logo.(…)”

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
(in Iltaleti Magazine – Dec.31,09)
Since Ville Valo quit drinking, the only interest he has left is music.
HIM frontman Ville Valo, 33, is a changed man. The nights and days spent with dozens of pints of beer seem far away. Sobriety has also shrunk his circle of friends. Only true friends have remained.
- Let’s say that I’ve deleted 190 phone numbers out of 200 from my cell phone, Valo admits.
He regards coolly Jackass star Bam Margera’s concern that Valo has become a total hermit.
It is true though that Ville is not seen in bars anymore. He’s not afraid of falling off the wagon; the reason is that you’re not allowed to smoke freely in bars anymore.
- I have to fool around in my own fantasy worlds, and I can do that just fine in Munkkiniemi, Ville grins.
Ville Valo hasn’t always been in such a good shape as now. Playing with alcohol got out of hand a few years ago, and the rock star, who confesses to being a workaholic, didn’t have time to take a vacation in ten years. The decision to go to rehab at Promises in Malibu in the spring of 2007 changed the direction of Ville’s life.

“The difference between this album and the previous is like day and night. Venus Doom was the doomiest moment for the band, even though I loved it, we can’t keep making the same thing over and over. This one is as straight forward as possible. Much faster. there aren’t any ballads” Ville Valo in Rock one magazine.
Rock One Magazine speaks about HIM’s new album Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice. It mentions it’s release date (February 8th) and that it was produced by Matt Squire. It also speaks about their first single Heartkiller and the album cover to which they refer to as ‘curious’.
