It’s been over a year since HIM’s sixth studio album Venus Doom was released, and speculation is growing about “what’s next?”.

HIM is a band  known for it’s diversity in terms of music. Although the band’s sound has a characteristical quality that leaves no doubt it’s HIM we’re listening to – every new album is different from the previous. This leaves fans anxiously waiting to see  what surprise HIM has in store for us next. 

Well wait no more! Metal Hammer spoke to Ville Valo about what we can expect from the new HIM album.

During its stay in Mannheim HIM got together with members of a local chess club for an evening of chess (and drinks and stuff). Chaos Mannheim, founded in 1987, calls itself one of the “most serious chess clubs in Baden”. They do appear to have a strong connection to beer, but also to heavy metal and to the aformentioned rock band.” ~ view full article from ChessBasse.com
