… but you will never remain indifferent!

Proof of this are the comments posted in response to Kerrang’s latest news article (*) about HIM’s new album Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice. In a world where everyone has their own musical tastes, most people do what is considered “normal”… they follow their favourite artists and ignore those they dislike. So why do some people waste their time reading news about HIM and another 10 minutes more sending hateful comments about a band they don’t like? Well, the answer is simple … you just can’t ignore a band like HIM. And don’t even think you can get away with dissing HIM without first having to face their loyal army of fans!

One of these fans (Brainz) wrote to Kerrang! in response to the nasty comments posted on Kerrangs website. This letter was featured in the latest Kerrang! issue (1280) where they also left an interesting response…

Quote: ” We have no such knowledge. Wish it was true!”

According to Bam Margera in an interview given to The Voice (a Finnish radio station), Gas Lipstick is done with recording drums and has returned to Finland to be with his wife and baby girl. The recordings for the new album started in the beginning of August so it has been over a month since the band members have left their families. View video here

This was how Ville Valo described(*) the album’s  genre on  yesterday’s  Euro Rock Radio interview hosted by CelticAngel. In an interview lasting a little over an hour, and followed by a chatroom (or 2) full of anxious and curious fans, Ville prefered to keep an aura of mystery around the new album, only revealing bits and pieces of information. Enough to keep the fans temporarily satisfied yet curious about the surprises that are to come (and it looks like we’ll be having a few in the very near future). If, on one hand, Ville wasn’t too revealing about the album, on the other hand he was very open when it came to answering the questions sent in by the fans. Some very interesting and amusing questions with answers that…well … you can hear for yourself here at Euro Rock Radio.

“Gnarpeggio”: a term used by HIM bassist Migé Amour and presented to us by music producer Matt Squire. Music experts and even scientists from all over the world have analized this term and believe it to be not of this world. Possibly originating from the Italian term “arpeggio” – meaning broken chord where the notes are played or sung in sequence, one after the other, rather than ringing out simultaneously – they believe we may be in the presence of an extreme and never before heard bass masterpiece called “gnarpeggio”.

Note: this post is total nonsense and should not be taken seriously:)

No, Linde didn’t actually say that…I just needed a title for this post:)

While I wait for Ricardo Campos  to send me the texts of Roadie Crew for translation, which they kindly allowed me to post here in about 2 weeks (I know, I know- but I’ll just have to wait patiently), I thought I’d post this video I found on youtube. Prepare your ears for some awesome riffs!
