No matter who produced it, I don't think anything could've stopped Dark Light from being the commercial success that it was being the follow-up to such an amazingly strong album in Love Metal and their American debut. The course of history, though, if Wallace, or Fryer, or someone else was in charge is certainly interesting to think about. Who knows what would've happened. I wish this were Star Trek so we could go through a wormhole and see.
On my way into work today a thought popped into my head, "What if Ville Valo did not go down his dark path of excess in 2006/7?". How would this have altered HIM's history?

Can you tell me a story behind it?
Also the no sleep til Halloween tour with HIM,papa roach, lostprophets and kill Hannah they cancelled to work on Venus doom, I recall villa saying along the lines of son we don't play the same songs, which hadn't changed much since Venus doom
And the short US tears on tape tour that was canceled because of villes health issues in California with the smoke, wish the tour started in NY then it most likely would have happened
I adore the Venus Doom album from start to finish, and personally find it to be the best work HIM ever put out. It’s a damn shame the general public didn’t enjoy it as much as I did.
Honestly, the biggest thing IMO, is their lack of social media. I'm sure some of you work in fields where this plays a big factor. I can't understate enough how crucial that is to any band's survival these days. Even in your off-time, if you're not posting, that means people aren't talking about you. And if they're not talking about you, you're forgotten.
