Ну уж подождём если надо Wink2 Главное альбом будет. И не думаю, что его выпуск сильно затянется. Будем пока отталкиваться от фразы из пресс-релиза- "начало 13 года" Smile Они пока не нашли лейбл и следовательно не могут называть точные даты европейского релиза.

Что-то рановато выложили! Rolleyes#2 Думаю скоро потрут, налицо нарушение всех прав Smile Трек улётный! 100%-химовский саунд! Причём звук золотых лет группы! Особо чувственные натуры могут даже прослезится Very Happy Правда вокал Вилле местами звучит не особо ярко, но спишем это на качество выложенного на YouTube трека Wink2 А так очень здорово всё! Надо обязательно купить этот сборник или трек отдельно. Группе как никогда нужна любая денежная поддержка и очень хочется послушать в хорошем качестве.

Я так тоже думаю, поэтому обезопасил себя от потери трека. Правда, уже расходится по РуНету с моей лёгкой руки. Ничего нельзя нигде оставить незамеченным ))

Звук мне тоже очень понравился, жду альбом с таким саундом. А альбом теперь ждать стало ещё интереснее )

Ну качество довольно поганое, не вижу смысла цепляться за данный трек и гонять его по 100 раз Smile Скоро выйдет нормальная версия и тогда уже послушаем вдумчивоSmile С YouTube песню удалил сам пользователь кстати, видимо испугался последствий Very Happy если Вилле проклянёт, никому сладко не будет Very Happy

Я, наверное, переслушала оригинал, но мне не очень понравилось изменение настроения песни :/ из меланхолично-надрывной она стала какой-то разухабистой, причем и музыкально, и по части настроения, и пока что это мне не по душе, если честно. Ждала большего следования оригиналу и предвкушала фирменные валовские повизгивания на высоких нотах, но увы, такую радость Валыч только под самый конец песни приберег :(

А я сделал лучше всего-я не слушал оригинал и потому этот трек звучит для меня как 100% песня HIM Very Happy Rolleyes#2 Вот не знал бы я, что это кавер, считал бы эту песню новым альбомным треком Smile Уж очень она Химовская и шикарно будет идти на концертах, если решаться сыграть Кул!

И вообще давайте радоваться, мы снова слышим ИХ! Cheesy

Сканы статьи о Хим из нового Soundi http://public.fotki.com/Hugless/him-interviews/soundi-09-12-cover.html#media листаем вправо Smile

Переведённая на инглиш статья, спасибо говорим Alli Velli с Official HIM Street Teams и Russian Heartagram Smile

Ville Valo hugs me.

-How great to see you! You are fresh from the shower.
I have to confess that actually I'm sweating. I have just carried loads of beer and other alcoholic drinks to the place where I'm going to interview the band. It's important that we don't run out of drinks when we are diving into the world of HIM.
An hour later the whole band have taken off their clothes. I feel like a prophet. We are wondering, if we should move to Katmandu. Linde tells that he have been there.
An hour from this, we are wondering if HIM is a cult, where certain astronomical elements meet. The laws of the cult is different from other rules, the world of dreams become reality.
The next day, 11:30 am Linde opens the door and is the last member of the band leaving. The interview is over.

HIM is already twenty years old. That is impressive for any band, but the band members assure me, that you don't even notice the time passing by. When you do something with great intensity, time flies and you don't even notice, says Ville Valo. We have had a million things and a lot of changes, both good and bad. I have speculated over this with a few friends, if it is like this for everyone or just for rock musicians. The rhytm of life is different.

Does this mean, that we have an artist's celebration? Mige asks. No, says Ville. Artist's celebration is a happy celebration of all the accomplishments of the artist career, continues Burton.

-Well, we have been gay so many times, also with Juho (the journalist), Ville Valo says.

Okay, maybe now is the time to correct the rumours. When I was writing the book “Gone with the sin” about HIM ten years ago, Ville and I were making an television interview for ATV. We told them that during making of the book, we had lived together for six months, lying in the bed naked watching television. This wasn't true, obviously, but afterwards the rumours about our sexual orientation started to circulate in the net. The power of the television is huge!-So, do you still have a love nest in Key West? Asks Mige. Certainly not!

So, in the end you can see that there haven't been much peace during the time with HIM, says Ville. As strange as it seems, the most peaceful and yet stressfull time have been the time, when Gas couldn't play because of his hand. For a few months he couldn't even carry a jar of milk, but for eight months he couldn't play drums...I'm certain it was psychosomatic! Ville says.
It's possible, says Gas. The recovery took time, and I was worried about if I can play at all.

But otherwise life haven't been too peaceful, Ville continues. As a creative person, there can be times when things are very difficult for you, you are trying to find yourself.
I have to admit, that I am very nervous about the future. It's not only because we haven't played for a while, but the whole thing about making a new album.. But it's not a negative thing, it is good to have a little pressure.
Now all these things come in the same time, the collection album, four gigs around New Year in Tavastia, the new studio album and the health problem of Gas.

The upcoming collection Two Decades Of Love Metal have twenty HIM songs, through the whole career of the band. There is one new song, Strange World originally from Ké. - We didn't have much choice about the songs, says Ville. I see the album as an introduction to new people. You should put the best song in the album, and often they are the ones played in the radio. Of course there is some songs, we couldn't fit in the album. This album is for new fans, and people with bad memory!

HIM entered the studio in the beginning of september for the new album Tears on Tape. Ville tells, that the music is basically ready. Now we are going through the songs, making small adjustments and trying to make as good HIM-album as possible. We have a tight schedule, we want the album to be out in february-march. We don't even have a record company at the moment, so that is also one thing we try to work out. That is mostly the worry of our manager Seppo Vesterinen. These days it is no longer so important to have a big record company. It is more important that the people working in the company actually care about the band. That was our problem with Warner. The people working with us were constantly changing, and we were all the time feeling like “what the fuck is going on now?” We couldn't concentrate to the most important thing, making the music.
- But now it is Seppo who decides! We are just pawns in his game, Mige says.

This must be familiar problem for many bands, I point out.
On the other hand, it is pointless to complain about the music industry, says Ville. Music is music, and that is the most important thing. We like Maiden, Sabbath and many other bands..Bisnes is for other people. We should think about the music, not the taxes.
It is interesting that music doesn't sell like it used to. Bands have to go on tour all the time. There is excess of gigs, and the bands are themselves suffering from it. But you can still do the thing you like the most, music. You just have to decide what's the most important thing and make time for it.

And I get it, when a young guy has the possibility to download music for free, he will do it. Ville says. -I wouldn't ! Says Mige.- But that's because you are old school.

The last gig HIM played together was Sonisphere- festival two years ago. After that the band members didn't see eachother regularly. But last summer they were again spending lots of time together, rehearsing the new songs. They are also eager to start touring again. In the same time, they want to become even better at what they do. The band has neer been satisfied just doing the same thing over and over again. We want to do something Tolkienlike, go from the Hobbit to the Two Towers, says Ville. From difficulties to the victory!

It is sometimes suprising, how things work out themselves. When we were again playing together this summer, we found new features in our music. I can't analyze it, it's like our music, you can't describe it, you just have to listen to it, tells Burton.
That's true- we are like Type O Negative, just worse, Ville continues.

When you ask the band members if there have been any controversy inside the band, they smirk. It's obvious that you can't always love eachother, but they have never considered splitting up.
"When you have had the band for twenty years, you can't throw it out like water", says Ville. "Now, when Gas had trouble with his arm, and we couldn't play at all, we grew closer than ever with Linde and Burton. We are old friends, and when you have so much action as we have had, you just go forward, and personal relationships are sometimes left aside".
But really, is this Oprah Show, should I confess something?

During these two years, did you ever consider moving on to a solo career?
-"I have always thought about it, but no, I'm not interested in that. Every time I play guitar alone home, it sounds like our band. And it always sounds better with the band. It's not about ego. The most important thing is, that the music is good. Even if I do the melodies, this is teamwork. This really is a band."

And you are the frontman.
-"Could I be the invisible singer? Let's put a picture of an invisible man in the cover of the Soundi magazine!"
-"Or my talking ass", Mige proposes.

But you could imagine, that Ville grew tired of being under scrutiny of the tabloids five years ago?
"-You mean my drinking and then quitting drinking? You make your bed, you sleep in it. I screwed up. In the end, that kind of publicity doesn't matter. I think it is nice that people are interested in us, and they have some kind of respect for us, but no one needs to know everything about your life. Or to know if it's Miges willie in the poster of Hungarian Bravo magazine."

Is it?
"-Hell yeah! And other thing is, that we are not U2. We are just a pump from Helsinki. We are just a rockband who got incredibly lucky with a few songs. Wonderful! That's it, and we still have eachother when things get rough."

HIM is recording the new album Tears On Tape in Finland, with Hiili Hiilesmaa. He has worked with the band since the beginning. Mixing will be done by another old friend Tim Palmer, who will do the final work in London.
"-When you go to the studio abroad, there is only certain dates and times you are able to use the studio", says Ville. "This way we have more freedom, but this is also more demanding for the band. You have to take hold of yourself. Same goes with the lyrics, they really have to be ready."

Do the lyrics still continue in the same dark romantic mood as before? Are you still in the same state of mind?
"-Hell yeah! It's important, that both the lyrics and the music express the same thing. Like Black Sabbath, Smashing Pumpkins and Roy Orbison. Melancholy meets ass fuck! Add to that the midnight worm from Ikaalinen (a Finnish small city)! If you don't mention this in the interview, you are going to be killed! And I quess the devil is always around the corner, when it's about our music."

Have any of you actually seen the Satan?
"-I have", Burton replies surprisingly. "Once playing pool, a guy came up to me and asked if he can have my soul in case he wins the game. I was faced with many decisions, it was a very important moment!"

It is also a very important moment when HIM is again, after many years, having a New Years gig in Finland. This time it's going to be four nights in Tavastia. Helldone-gigs have been such a tradition, that the fans were truly horrified when the band didn't go on stage.
"- It was strange for us too", Ville admits. It had become an automatic thing, and in the other hand sometimes you can say no, even if people want something from you. I'm going to be very nervous about these gigs. If you don't get nervous, then it's time to stop. But we want to do these things again. And when things happen naturally, they are close to magic!"
"-And if we don't want to play on those gigs, we can always hire black actors to play us", Mige points out. "A Kenyan HIM would be so cool! In the next music video there could be black bodybuilders playing us, with leopard skin hats!" ( It's a Finnish inside joke about a recent Finnish movie, where a Kenyan actor was playing our sixth president..)

The band members dedication to HIM is clear. No one has any other projects on the side. Even Lindes side project Daniel Lioneye is on hold for now. There is no need for it. They all reside in Finland, so they can concentrate on the band full time. Although Linde travels to England regularly. He have been together with Toni-Marie Iommi, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommis daughter, for a long time. The couple is always welcome to Tony Iommis house, as is Ozzy Osbourne.
"-One day I heard someone playing music in Tony's home studio and went there to see what was going on", Linde tells. "There he was rehearsing some Sabbath songs with Ozzy."


Ville Valo & 10 commandments

1. Which books, movies or records have inspired and interested you recently?

-About books I have to mention Aarni Koutas book “Lusiferin kannel”. He's the one who translated Nietzches Antichrist in Finnish. He wrote esoteric, magical poetry and he is very interesting.-Burton found the book from some antique store. It's a source of inspiration, and such a interesting texts. ( and then two long quotes from poems that I can't translate! Smile)-About movies, the I have to say Drive (2011) is super, one of my favourites in many years. It's filmed in fantastic way, wonderful colors and always dig that kind of Charles Bronson-type of attitude that you can find in many Clint Eastwood-films. There is something about it!-I have terrible taste, hah. And hey, one of the books is also Kill Your Friends (2008) by John Niven. It's about the British music business in the 90's. It sounds really boring, but I'm not going to tell more about it. It's a bit like Guy Richies movies. You go from left to right and right to left, and every direction, and the kind of things happen, that leaves the reader to wonder what the hell is happening. It's one of the best books I have read in ten years. And on the top of that, it's a book you read in a second. Incredibly fun book.-Then I have all Baudelaires on my table, like The Flowers of Evil, and then I have Bukowski and the same time Apathy For The Devil by NME- journalist Nick Kent. And of course short stories by Amy Hempel. She writes about big things in short sentences. -Then I have a huge pile of movies I have to see again, if they could bring some new ideas. It's because we are in the process of making the album.

2. You have several portraits tattoed in your skin. Who can you find there and who are still missing?

-On the back I have the eyes of Edgar Allan Poe, on the hand Timo K.Mukka , Baudelaire and Bukowski. And of course Maya Deren. She was a surrealist movie director from the 40's. I heard she just walked out from the theatre in the middle of the movie if she didn't like it, and she had clothes full of clocks/watches. Deren was also a choreographer, film theoretician, writer and photographer who studied voodoo in Haiti.-Of course I have all kinds of ideas, but for me tattoos are related to certain periods. They are influenced by where you are at the moment and who you are with, and what's on your mind in the given time. It's not the idea to collect faces of all the writers on my skin. First of all, there is not enough skin, and second, those decisions are so much about the moment.- It's like, if you would drink half a bottle of Koskenkorva, you too would take a tattoo of Timo K. Mukka! It's also strange, that Timo K. Mukka was tattooed by American (Kat Von D). It's a bit contradictory, just like with Baudelaire, who is French. Interesting combination in itself!-Of course I hope that a part of those people have transferred to me in the tattoos. You can see it in two ways. I'm righ-handed, so every time I write I see the pictures and they set the standard for me. Or they remind me of the values. They remind me, that you should write something good instead just writing shit. The third thing is of course when I jerk of. Do I want to see those pictures then?

3. Are the new HIM songs very different from the old? Can you find some definite difference?

-It doesn't matter how far we try to go with the band, it always sounds the same. People always say that it's the same old shit. Or the same good stuff. But for me the concept of the album is the Bermuda triangle. There is Smashing Pumpkins, Black Sabbath and Roy Orbison. Those are the three I want to meet in the music. Or Elvis Presleys Love Me Tender meet Black Sabbath Nib. That contrast could be taken even further, if possible. So basically we are doing the same thing as before, just better.

4. What do you do in your spare time? Do you have spare time in general?

-I don't have a lot of spare time. In my yard, I have snails. They are really bad for the plants. I have been this little gardener. So when it's possible, I collect snails and boil them, and then I throw them in the garbage. It's my hobby! But music is just like writing, it's always on your mind. No matter what you do, it's always there. It's a curse and a blessing.- I haven't been to gigs in a long time. Somehow I lost interest in it. Before I went to see all kinds of things like every other day. All I have done this year is to practise my acoustic guitar and trying to get as good as Kari Tapio. His soul rest in peace!

5. HIM has been making music for twenty years. Is there anything you regret? Is there anything you get pissed off about?

-No! Like you may know, you have to screw up to become stronger and wiser. Without the mistakes, you become nothing. You have to make a certain amount of mistakes to find yourself in a better place. Life would be terrible if it was just heavenly. Specially for us satanists!

6.Y ou have travelled a lot around the world. Is there any cities, you especially like?

- It's rare that you actually have time to experience any city. But for example Seattle is one of my favourites, and also I really like Denver. Also Oulu and Melbourne.- There is places, where you accidentally meet really nice people, who tell you nice stories. They lead to interesting conversations and through them you get closer to the city or even the feel of the whole country.- You spend two nights in some city and you have time to go to a pub. There you meet someone, who tells you an interesting story. That's how you get an unforgettable memory of the city.-Like in Denver, where I found this tiki bar in a small hotel. I was sitting there and having a few drinks before the gig, and the bartender told me about a magazine they had, called Modern Drunkard. I was admiring it like “wow” and he wrote for me “ Now you've finally approved to be part of international drunkard” on the cover of the magazine. Those kind of things stick with you, and I have the magazine still in my bedroom, next to my books. Those are the important little things.-Another great tiki bar in on Sunset Boulevard, number four thousand and something. It's this small shack and only one building, and that's why you can smoke inside, because it's isolated from the other buildings. The owner of the bar died some time ago, and his son runs the bar now. Every day at seven, all the customers have a shot for the memory of the dad.- Those are the places, you remember forever. It's so wonderful that you got to experience that. It's not so much about the place or the city, it's about the certain case.

“I’m pretty sure that a song or two from those sessions will find their way into the live set come Helldone”, Ville Valo predicts.

В общем ждём концертную премьеру одной-двух-трёх новых песни HIM на НГ Cheesy

Я так понял, что все билеты на Helldone распроданы. По крайней мере в сети их больше нет.
