HIM Finishes Work on Venus Doom

Finnish group HIM recently finished mixing its sixth studio album, Venus Doom, at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. Once again, the band entered the studio with producer/mixer Tim Palmer (Tin Machine, the Cure, the House of Love, Ned's Atomic Dustbin). At a recent listening session, it became apparent to one Rockit staffer that Venus Doom is quite a departure from the band's last effort, Dark Light. The moody pop of the previous album has given way to more expansive tracks led by thunderous guitar crunches. Yes, the synthesizer embellishments and Sisters of Mercy-esque melodies still remain, but this time they are pushed further into the background. Standout numbers include the prog-tinged “Kiss of Dawn” and “Sleepwalking Past Hope,” a near-epic piece with a spine-tingling bridge. The album is expected to hit streets this September. In the meantime, HIM will join Taking Back Sunday, Placebo, Styles of Beyond and more on the Projekt Revolution tour.
