Heartagram Team just posted this on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/HeartagramTeam/status/1394192447488491520 (https://twitter.com/HeartagramTeam/status/1394192447488491520)
A video with a female astronaut trying to fix (open?) something. The music sounds like a live jam and is very Linde and Mige-like. I believe a mid-song jam during Poison Girl.
at 0:32 some text on her helmet ('056 819'? probably nothing)
at 0:34 a countdown (started 30:23:59, then goes to 30:23:58) (video was posted an hour ago). So we will see something tomorrow (if the last digits are seconds), or next month (30 days and 24 hours).
at 0:35 you hear the last notes played of Funeral of Hearts
at 0:38 Heartagram with roses
at 0:40 www.razorblade.co (http://www.razorblade.co) (this redirects to https://razorbladekiss.co/password (https://razorbladekiss.co/password))
The website says 'Coming Soon' and ''Something special is coming...', shows the same Heartagram with roses, and you can fill in an email address.
In the source code you can find: 'Season 1 Coming soon...'.
I can't find out who registered the website, but it was already on 15 December 2020.
Options:
-A (live) HIM album (based on the live jam)
-The soundtrack of a TV series? (based on the season 1 coming soon)
-New merch (clothing)?
(The shots of the astronaut brings to mind the soundtrack of the game 'Downward Spiral', but that game was already released in 2018.)
(On social media some people suggest that it might have to do with DSBH being released 20 years ago (damn, I'm old...). But this album was released on 25 August 2001, and since the announcement is about an event happening in May/June this seems a bit too soon. And why use the music of FoH?)

EDIT2:
Of course there is also Instagram (no post on Facebook)
The Heartagramteam post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9wNbTHix7/ (https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9wNbTHix7/)
The video is slightly different, and the post contains the text: ♰ 0 2 3 A ♰
The post is a partnership with Razorblade Kiss Co. https://www.instagram.com/razorbladekissco/. (https://www.instagram.com/razorbladekissco/.) The account posted the same video and same text.
The bio of this account: "Razorblade Kiss Co. Something cometh this way soon..."
The bio of Heartagramteam is also changed to "www.razorbladekiss.co"
In the beginning of the video you see a screen:

But I can't read what it says...
-
Not a clue what this is, but here's everything I've got so far.
The instagram captions have apparently changed a few times. Some of them being "1963-023A", "VALENTINA", and most recently, "023A" between two crosses. This ties in with the video. It leads to Vostok 6.
What is Vostok 6?
Vostok 6 (https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=595#results) was the first spaceflight to carry a woman into space. The woman's name? Valentina Tereshkova. The spacecraft took flight on June 16th 1963. 6.16. I believe the countdown on the video also ends at June 16th. This spacecraft has an identifier code of 1963-023A.
The website razorbladekiss.co seems to be hosted by Shopify. An online shopfront that sells items.
This image is contained within the source code:

There also seems to be a string of text in the source code that says "Season 1 Coming Soon...". Take from that what you will!
-
Great find!! June 16th (616) seems right. And given other historical events which happenend on that date (Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_16)), this seems like one of the most 'workable' options.
The Shopify references in the source code made me think of new merch. Like recently Hot Topic and the RR-shirt. But given the trouble of creating a whole new video, this seems bigger. On the other hand, in the past we had gotten our hopes up for something promising and nothing happened. Who knows, maybe last year some people had finally the time to mix the live album of the 2017 Bang and Whimper tour.
-
I'm thoroughly prepared to be let down.
-
If it has anything to do with new music, I can almost 100% guarantee that it has nothing to do with Linde and absolutely not Gas. That’s all I can really say.
-
I'm hoping we get Gothica Fennica vol 2
-
I'm thoroughly prepared to be let down.
Me too, buddy. Merch would be a let down in my mind. I think the most realistic AND exciting thing it could be for me is a live album. We'll see...

I wished the Like button feature still worked.
I'm going to foolishly hold out hope for something fun.

Ville did say in 2017 that they were recording their shows during the tour so my guess would be a live album too. No one seemed to be too impressed with their performances too much during the tour though. Hopefully they give us something good with the live album if that's the case. I mean, I enjoyed the setlist myself because when I first saw them in 2010 they didn't play too many old songs, especially in the States. It was nice to hear something from DSABH live. But overall, I wasn't impressed during the Band and Whimper tour. they played like they couldn't wait to leave
-

That is exactly how I felt when I last saw them. Aside from a joke about the Astros, there wasn't much interaction with the crowd at all.
It's part of the reason I stopped collecting bootlegs after a while. It began to be a chore and every show sounded exactly the same with the same set over and over.
-
You nailed it bud. If you look at their set list starting at around 2005, most of those songs stayed permanently. You'd get maybe 4 new songs at the time, then never missers like wicked game, WOAB, BABL, poison girl, join me, it's all tears, soul on fire, RHIMA, 666, and usually end the show with FOH. Maybe rebel yell, or WLADE depending on the night but never something completely unexpected which is what I hoped the last tour would be. Imagine them picking out a rare treat from each album just to make the crowd smile. Opening with a classic like the beginning of the end would have definitely gotten my attention. They have such a broad catalog so it was a let down to just waste it. Im glad they brought back a few classic songs towards the end of their run though. They ignored anything from DSABH for years.
-
Is this all official? There is nothing in FB official and heartagram.com

If they did mix it and are going to release it, I hope Tim Palmer did the work. Digital Versatile Doom was GREATLY MIXED. I did like the way the new live tracks on the Vinyl Box set were mixed. It sounded way too muddy. The Snare sounded way too high and the guitar sounded like too compressed

Idk if it's been posted yet, but that jam that's playing during the video is a 2007 soundboard recording of the soundcheck at The Docks Nightclub in Toronto.
https://www.filemail.com/d/nrwtgisgjsoqwwx (https://www.filemail.com/d/nrwtgisgjsoqwwx) Here's a temporary link of it. Go to 3:30 and it starts there.

This is the same show where we got the live version of Sleepwalking Past Hope from the Bleed Well single. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ1OJsFrzsQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ1OJsFrzsQ)

Nice catch there. Hopefully they're not releasing that show "officially"
-
This was on their story today..
-
They used the blood theme from 2007 so whatever is coming, I can imagine its from that year. Merch, demos, live gigs? Assuming they're not gonna "leak" the Toronto Show
-
Saw in the comments that Pius XI's papacy began on June 16 1846...another 616 reference as the title of their story was PIUSXI
-
I subscribed to their site and got an email today with the heartagram logo that you can see in the video, which directs you to the video on their insta page. The message of the email is Preperation is key.. But will you be fast enough. The sender of the mail is yourloveis@razorbladekiss.co
Interesting...
Maybe some limited merch or album...
-
The image is a cipher... Notice how it goes A, B, C, D, etc. and covers every letter of the alphabet.
-
Thanks for the HQ version Inferno.
Somebody was saying that the nun looks like Ville...
-
I tried to subscribe but haven?t gotten an email.
I?ve always enjoyed this cryptic promo that they do. Hope it leads somewhere fun.
But we?re all a lot older now so we don?t have time to be dealing with these puzzles 😂
-

I thought the new video looked a bit amateurish (compared with the astronaut one).
As Instagram account him666archives (https://www.instagram.com/him666archives/ (https://www.instagram.com/him666archives/)) posted in their stories: the footages of the nun is free stock material:
https://www.pexels.com/video/nun-doing-a-reverence-in-the-altar-of-a-church-7218954/ (https://www.pexels.com/video/nun-doing-a-reverence-in-the-altar-of-a-church-7218954/)
A quick search on the same website and I found the astronaut video:
https://www.pexels.com/video/a-woman-removing-her-space-helmet-7670524/ (https://www.pexels.com/video/a-woman-removing-her-space-helmet-7670524/)
Which definitely tempers hope that this is something official (like a live album).
-
Nice find Harker! It's no surprise really, I was sure that it's not their footage. The Heartagram Team accounts aren't official as far as I know. Apparently they're run by someone who used to work for the band back when they were still signed to Warner. My guess is that no new audio/video material will be released (they probably don't have any, at least no permission to share). Adding Toronto 2007 soundcheck snippets to the video was a good way to get people hyped, but most will be disappointed for sure. It's already leaked. Some are even talking about a reunion, won't happen now. Likely some merch will be put available on the Shopify site for a limited time, maybe to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of DSABH or something. 1st video clip = cosmic, 2nd one = pope.
-
For better or worse a lot of people either don't know or just don't care and treat the street team page like it's HIM's official account anyways since they never really made an attempt to distinguish themselves on social media otherwise and there isn't anywhere else to turn to for news and info anymore. That's the one thing that gives me hope about the surprise not being total bullshit. I'm still expecting a disappointment, but you wouldn't think that someone would do something shady or illegal or that makes anyone look bad so wide out in the open like that on an account that has a solid history of credibility and the band's own endorsement behind it.

It’s merch. Back to hibernation for me

It?s on their IG. A set of fucking pins.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ????????
-
fuck this, man it better be more than just a set of pins and to top it off, they completely fucked it up for the British fans. Jesus, my Blood Pressure is up now
-
It is official, Ville runs @theheartagram twitter account and it retweeted the Heartagram team about all this stuff and changed the official photo from the Ville “VV” Heartagram to the rose one as well.
-
It’s the official Heartagram account is what I’m saying and when Gothica Fennica Vol.1 came out he was posting pictures of his guitars with the lyrics etc. maybe someone runs it for him or whatever but the official Heartagram Twitter account retweeted the Heartagram team stuff with the videos and the link to razorblade kiss.co. So he’s involved.
-
if it really is Ville, there's some hope that those damn pins aren't the real reveal. Has anyone even cracked the cipher yet?
-
If this was official it would be on facebook page and the official instagram which Ville started last year with Gothica Fennica. The last updates there are from last year 20 March.....
Also all this looks like a fan made project...the music cuts, the video... Sorry
Maybe the official pages will tag or share the project... but thats all.
Im happy there are still fans who has motivation to do such things...good luck
-
OMG my dream has come true! All I ever wanteeeeeed was a set of pinsss.
-
Hiiiiii, long-term lurker, but I figured I'd weigh in a bit.
The Heartagram Team never claimed to be official, but they're still affiliated with the band. Even the main official pages (@heartagram) follow the team. Either way, they're still slinging out/promoting merch (e.g. promoting the Hot Topic re-release of the Razorblade Romance tees - I wouldn't have found out about it anywhere else) whereas the official channels have gone silent since the dissolution of the band.
The pins were absolutely over hyped, but I don't think they're just going to be promoting pins. I think the pins are going to be apart of some sort of collection. Anyway, I don't think anyone can argue that the pins look phenomenal, even if they aren't your particular "thing". I was hoping for some record re-releases in vinyl format, but I'm not sure if the Heartagram Team has any say in that.
Side note: If anyone else is trying to crack the code, I did make this reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/HIM/comments/nvhvbp/ayyyyy_lets_crack_this_code_yall/) to do some collaboration. I'm genuinely trying to figure this out lmao.
-
Welcome unrulygirl *waves* :) Hope you’re well!
The thing with the heartagram team is that they never made it clear they are no longer affiliated with the band as HIM’s contract ended with Warner, Sire many moons ago. Even on here people are saying Ville runs accounts on twitter? Like c’mon! Ville probably isn’t aware of all this tbh. The Heartagramteam was only created to get the buzz about the band in the US. Yes, maybe they can get photo passes to shows and easy access to Helldone but if you know the right people in the community that is easily achieved ;-) The @heartagram page on twitter is not official it belongs to the old web master of heartagram.com. They have absolutely created a buzz in the community which is fantastic.. bravo to them 100% but I’m tired of seeing people thinking that Ville is behind this. “ThE NuN Is VilLe” the videos were stock footage. HIM have never been a band to do social media.. look at Ville’s abandoned instagram haha! Can you see Ville sitting on twitter retweeting old videos? No.
Take care,

Thank you, and I hope you are doing well also :) I didn't know about the @heartagram page on twitter. What about on instagram? Also I'm with you 100%. I really had to question people when they thought that the band was getting back together. In a perfect world, maybe. But the entire 2010s was a dud for the band lmao. The nun thing has me dying though lmao. Oh well. People can be mad about the merch, but I'm still gonna work on this puzzle ;)
-
The only official pages of V are:
https://instagram.com/heartagram?utm_medium=copy_link
https://instagram.com/rambohramboh?utm_medium=copy_link
Exactly, I don’t think HIM will get back together :( I don’t know if the guys are in touch which makes me sad.
Good luck, hope you crack it! ;D
-
I mean, Mige played on Gothica Fennica and Gas and Linde are in Flat Earth together. Burton has been working at Custom Sounds for a while now and seems to run into Gas and Linde pretty regularly. ???????????
No Mige on VV's EP, all Ville.
-
Mige playing on Gothica Fennica was a rumour, he’s training to be a nurse.
-
SO, I'm still about 5% excited for whats gonna happen tomorrow. The real question is: will it happen at midnight?
-
You?re confusing the Instagram page @heartagram with the Twitter page @theheartagram
No I’m not, the account in the screen shot is the official HIM account for Twitter. I’m not saying the band is getting back together either, because I know they are not, but I’m hoping for a box set of some sort sometime soon with b-sides and unreleased stuff like demos from the Warner/Sire Records Albums.

That actually makes sense. They've ignored everything they've done through Sire since leaving the label. We never got any B sides from any of these albums. Not counting SWRMX or any of the acoustics. I'd love to hear some more Hili demos from SW. an early demo of Vampire Heart or WOAB
Damn Len, you got me thinking: didn't they mention these were gonna be seasonal releases?
-
@Len777 that is not official ;D

What ended up happening on 6/16?

No, again you’re not correct, @heartagramteam is the street team @heartagram is the official band Twitter look back through the history of the page it’s not hard to see everything is there, they just don’t have a verified badge because they didn’t give a shit and neither did their label.
No, that?s the official STREET TEAM account.
