Sorry guys, I've been extremly busy with my
own band and have neglected the site once again.
(And yes, that was a cheap plug for you to add us...I
have no shame.) Nick and Jerry have agreed to help with
the site, so you may see their name from time to time.
Anyway, I'm trying to get back into
the swing of things here, so here's some news and notes
you may have heard about elsewhere.

Hit
Parader's March/April issue has our favorite
Finns coming in at number 141 for Venus Doom
in their "Top 200 Hard Rock CDs You Can't Live
Without!"
Here's an excerpt:
141. HIM, Venus Doom
So many things - both good and bad - have been said
about Scandinavian "love metal" rockers HIM
over the last few years, that it's hard to know
exactly how to react to the contents of Venus Doom.
There's no question that vocalist Ville Valo and
his troops have pushed the creative boundaries of their
sound, expanding it to create a more lush, dramatic
backdrop for their guitar-driven opuses. And while there
is no doubt that this is exciting and at time ethereal
stuff, on occasion it seems to wander precariously close
to becoming a parody of this unit's earlier work.
But when Valo reins in the action just a little, HIM
show why some have called them the most exhilarating
hard rock band in the world.
The issue is out now at your local newsstands.
Also, Skope
will feature HIM in their March/April edition. Check
out the cover here.
Somebody say something about a tour? We totally flaked
out on the US tour this year, but here are some European
dates where you can catch them with Linkin Park. I caught
the Projekt Revolution tour in San Antonio last year
and it was amazing (well HIM, Placebo, Linkin Park, and MCR were good, but I could have done
without the rest of the bill). Get ticket info here.
