-

-
3 for the Finnish.
Also, can't wait for those bonus tracks 8)
I have been listening to VD all week but I honestly think im gonna wait for the bonus tracks
-
im liking bleed well and cyanide sun the most
-
My favorite songs on VD are Bleed Well and Love In Cold Blood
-
i hope the limited edition gets 3 complete new songs instead of remixes ;D
because Venus Doom is too short, 9 songs :'(
its so good though, no filler tracks.
-
8 songs. Song or Suicide is too short to call it full song. It's like intro to Bleed Well.
-
yeah, song or suicide is so short...
but Sleepwalking Past Hope is 3 songs in 1 ;D
:D
can't wait... 6...7...8 days more? :'(
-
guess who got their black journal edition and special edition today becasue they put rush shipping on their order.... ME!!!!!!! three bonus songs are two remixes two are the same as the special edition and the third is an acoustic version of bleed well. p.s. in your face inferno..."you wasted your money putting rush shipping blah blah.." lol jk man
-
Post up that Bleed Well, son. Best song on the album.
-
Post all that shit up - I'm not waiting the next two months for Amazon to ship mine >:(
-
wow i cant believe u got it already... thats awesome
side note... Bleed Well is my fav on the album
-
Counting down the days here as well!
-
the artwork is the same as the photos that were posted on valo daily and case is nice and it has those vd logos all over it
-
cooooooool
im so jealous...
post some pictures of it when u get the chance...
i cant wait to get mine!!!!!!!!!!
-
i would but i don't have any camera right now to do so. maybe tonight if i'm over my lady's house she has one.
-
Those Venus Doom mini posters are out.
Each store (Hot Topic) got ten to pass out.
I only have three total.
All spoken for.
One of them is mine.
-
i would but i don't have any camera right now to do so. maybe tonight if i'm over my lady's house she has one.
please do...
sry im being so annoying but i would love to see what im spending 50 bucks on, aside from the best HIM album in a while!!!
-
Quite nice that we got a few new acoustic versions with the new album. But sad on the other side that we didn't get "real" bonus tracks. I think the cage and venus did a good job last time.
Well maybe they put one or two on the next singles.
-
i'm hoping the same as well
-
i think its kinda bull that we get the same stuff that we can get on a single... ahh well
edit: sry... im mistaken... we get new stuff
-
awww thats all we get.
lol im still happy though, but still.... come on i spent $60 on it............
-
i hope the limited edition gets 3 complete new songs instead of remixes ;D
because Venus Doom is too short, 9 songs :'(
its so good though, no filler tracks.
Bonus trax are a little let-down!!! Only Bleed Well (Acoustic) is awesome...the remixes are a disapointment to me!
I hope the 60 pages booklet is great at least...otherwise I'm a bit down right now
-
Thank God, I didn't ordered VD Ltd. Edition. I don't want even think about listening to the remixes again :(
-
Those remixes are rather poor, the only slight tarnish on the so-far perfect Venus Doom era.
-
guess who got their black journal edition and special edition today becasue they put rush shipping on their order.... ME!!!!!!! three bonus songs are two remixes two are the same as the special edition and the third is an acoustic version of bleed well. p.s. in your face inferno..."you wasted your money putting rush shipping blah blah.." lol jk man
Where do you live?
-
yea are u in the states???
i really wanna get mine soon :(
-
This is disappointing. I was hoping the bonus tracks would be additional songs.
-
i live in new jersey, but t says that the cds were shipped from one of those states out in the middle of the us somewhere
-
I should be getting mine soon then... is there a certificate of authenticity or anything numbered like DL had?
-
nah no certificate or anything like that, like we had in the dark light limited edition
-
check it...

There was a company that used that for a commercial a few months ago.

http://heartabolikal.listen2myradio.com

:-[ thanks if someone listen it xD
-
I am listening now :)
-
The bonus tracks are cool, but it would have been nice to have more new tracks.
-
I am listening now :)
Thanks!!! ;D

We got our copies of VD in today at work. They did not change the cover art. There is no text on it, there is a big sticker on the case saying "The new album from HIM (the new logo) featuring The Kiss of Dawn and Passion's Killing Floor" It also mentions the heartagram club on it.
The special edition is neat. It's a little book the size of a cd case, with each CD held onto the inside front and back cover. The booklet is in the middle, bound to the cover. There is again a big sticker on the cover, which blocks the art work, but I assume it's the VD logos.
Also, it was interesting because neither DLL or LICB remixes have special names. They just say "Remix" on the case. Was going to get pictures, but, well, didn't get a chance. I was actually working at work!
-
Unfortuantly, I'm buying 2 of each edition. I'm such a band whore like that.
Edit: Just got an email from Warner saying that my VD LE cd shipped out yesterday!
-
I can't believe you're still VD free, Jen...
What would you do if you held out until VD-Day, then you absolutely HATED the album?
Of course it's unlikely, as it is one of their best...but what if...
-
Edit: Just got an email from Warner saying that my VD LE cd shipped out yesterday!
Yeah, mine too. Can't wait to have it!
-
cyanide sun is one of the best with venus doom
-
I agree completly.
Along with LICB
-
Yeah! Amazing cd ! I am sure that venus doom is nr.1 at the finnish album chart next week. I hope that in the US it?s going to be near top10...
-
on https://www.recordstore.co.uk/him there's a limited edition of Venus Doom, is it the same of hertagram.com? cause it seems like... but it says there are only 500 copies, and it's UK exclusive...
-
wtf?? o.o xDDD
(http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u19/FizzyShizzy616/churchsign.jpg)
-
It's not real. There is a site that let's you put whatever text you want on those things.
-
I know a lot of you guys have already heard the album but I decided to wait until I got the CD, which I did today. I'm on my second listen right now, I don't think I can find the right words to convey just how great I think it is.
-
I'm hoping mine comes tomorrow. At the very least on or before Tuesday. I don't wanna have to wait around to hear the Bleed Well acoustic. And I refuse to download and listen to it. I've decided to follow JenX's honorable path by not listening to the bonus tracks till I get the CD.

Yeah, me too. I'm really really tempted to download the acoustic 'BW', but I want to get my cd first...

Yes it's the same version as the heartagram limited. Recordstore imported 500 to sell. It's called a UK exclusive coz no other shops are selling that version.
ah, ok.. thanks! ;D
i thought it would be numbered or something like that...
-
It seems, that at least for the european market that the ltd. edition is really "limited"
I've been in 4 stores today. 2 of them had it listed, but didn't know how many they get and the date! (Exactly as it was with the DL ltd., which was available 2 weeks after the normal edition). The other 2 said that they get only 5 units, but didn't know anything about the release date.
-
I just ordered the Limited,special,... edition just the other day..... yep, just have to get it! ::) .. and now im broke, lol :o
I haven't listened to tooo many songs in full, only a couple on myspace.... so i'm waiting to hear the album in full when my CD comes!
-
im upset for not a real b-side, like an original song.
but the acoustic does sound very nice tho.
-
I read somewhere that thre's gonna be an esition of the album which is gonna contain a dvd.
I think it's an UK release.
Have you got info about it? Which is gonna be included on the dvd?
-
There is no DVD. The special edition is 2 disc, and for some reason alot of shops thought it was a DVD.

A bunch of questions for the Daedalus one...
With the normal special, what type of paper is used in the booklet?
Is it glossy? Or matt quality (like I imagine the limited specials paper is).
Also, is it only lyrics on the pages... or are there pictures too?
I don't know, alas I don't have mine yet. I just get to look at them every day at work till Tuesday. Which is odd because you have to have a key to get into the electronics stock room, and I don't normally have it. I have to come up with creative ways for needing it. I am going to talk to our entertainment guy about me keeping the shipper case the VDs came in. It has a few big stickers on it saying "HIM VENUS DOOM" and then store related information like barcodes and shit, along with a few warnings about breaking street date. It'd just be neat to keep my VD copies in it.
Our store only has 7 SEs and 15 regulars right now which worries me. We'll probably get more over the weekend, but since I'm buying 2 each myself, that doesn't leave much for anyone else. Our store is a high volume store (number 2 in music and movies sales in the region, WOO!) and if we're only getting that many, it leaves me concerned about low volume stores around the country. However, Target is pushing the CD fairly hard so I expect us to get more.
-
i got the 2 lp's and the single they are very nice, quite pleased anyone know what the new single release is going to be?
-
Nope. Won't for a while, probably around X-Mas.
-
:) I'll ask this to Len666 instead...

the same as the limited pretty much the lyrics seem to be written a bit differently. but all the same artwork.
-
Oh that's right, it's out tomorrow for you! LAME! I gotta wait a whole 'nother day. :'(
-
I'd just call whatever shops are near you and ask if they have the special edition. Call them first thing in the morning and ask if they can hold a copy for you. People do it to us all the time, hell, I'm putting my copies of VD on hold Monday night before I leave work! Ahh the benefits of management!
-
10 percent discount. I'm spending $55.92 (2 Reg, 2 SE) before sales tax, which brings it up to $60.53. My discount brings it back down to about $54.48 after tax. 6 fucking dollars saved!
-
Lol, goodnight Jen. Enjoy your VD in the morning! ;)
-
Good luck with that. :-\ I too have yet to come across the special edition. Which is fine with me, though, 'cause I was more interested in getting the regular one anyway.
-
i just got my normal cd edition. perfect quality! awesome!!! ;)
-
Finally its realesed. It felt good holding a copy of it in my hands,hehe :D
It allready reached number 9 on the selling charts of the biggest recordstore in norway:
http://www.platekompaniet.no/cache/published_52.asp (http://www.platekompaniet.no/cache/published_52.asp)
Gonna be fun to see where it end up on the official charts at the end of the week
-
i just got my special edition today...sweet...
-
oh the joy of lying back and hearing it all ;D
I love all the little random tunes that crop up in the middle of songs
-
...yeah...mine's still not here. Damn slow postal service. My mail doesn't usually show up till near 5pm.
-
i have a bone to pick with the special edition.
a . its not leather
b. my special edition disc doesnt work in my computer, or cd player. just on my dvd player.
c. the pictures were just printed pictures, not real photos.
d. i dont feel it was worth the 50.00., maybe 30.00 usd
-
They have said all along that it was "leather style". Which means, not real leather.
-
one more day until the official release!!
-
yes, the bonus disk.
the normal cd plays fine in my cd player ect.
but the bonus disk will only play in my dvd player, not in anything else.
i need to email warner to see what they can do.
-
can someone upload some photos of it?
-
i live in lonaconing md, usa
for regular cds i know they dont, code them due to region. bc i order cds from finland and japan all the time.
but its possibly something due to manufactoring.
-
my bonus disc works fine in my cd player.
-
wheres mine!!!! >:(
lol :D
i think i might get mine tomorrow, well i better!!!
-
yea i'm pretty upset about my leather book edition... the photos that come are all blurry and shit. I hate this crap. I feel so violated, and I should only be made to feel that way by jerry or betsy....
I bet everyone got the same 3 blurry photos I did.... :-\
-
Mine were a guitar, a soundboard with clutter and then a creepy one with these weird baby doll heads.
I like the book. It's bigger than the Dark Light book, and it's just plan friggin neat.
Some quick snap shots...
Oh, and this is my first time hearing the bonus tracks...LICB is interesting, but I really like Dead Lovers' Lane!

-
it cant beat the amazing heartagram laser lol :D
-
I am very disappointed in this... I do love the album but this was completely over-priced. It would've been the right price if it were actually leather but it wasn't. Their first description of the edition as changed so much... warner just wants our money.
In all this album isn't worth no more than Dark Light internet edition was. It has less stuff, and less songs... fake Polaroids don't make up for shit. anyways, that's just my 2 cents.

that there looks like a violin not a guitar buddy.....
-
i agree, thats why i feel its only worth 30.00 bc the orginal dicription was when i ordered it, was much different.
it stated leather bound book, and it wasnt leather. there are 1,000,000,000 cows in India. i dontt hink they would have a hard time getting leather.
The pictures. i thought they would have been exclusive. but no, everyone got the same 3 pictures.
Even whats in the book is much of a let down.
the Dark Light tin, was A. Half the price, B. you seemed to get more
i was chatting to my friends about it. he stated i should write Warner Bros, a letter stating, since they only pretty much sent what was half of the discription, they should send half of the money back..lol
but what i am happy with is a new HIM cd that kicks fucking ass.
But seriously fuck Warner Bros. A. They push back the album for an unnessary 2 months. B. Just are a greedy bunch of cunts.
-
I need a quick answer to this one please...
Coz ONE shop in town has the sepcial edition.
Is it completely different art-wise than the limited?
Is it actually worth me getting, since my limited is on it's way?
if its not to much more then go for it!

The 3 pictures are not all the same... I got different ones than that picture shows. I got the one with the two heads, the desk with all that crap, and a picture of an Owl.
My question is... why couldn't they just fucking add those 3 bonus songs on to the first CD? Makes no sense to waste 2 CDs on 12 songs :-\
-
I didn't really know where to post this, so I'll just put it here since it's VD related.
Apparently Stefan Lindfors (i.e. the director of the FOH video) is now in the process of making some sort of "art clips" for HIM. To loosely quote Lindfors' words -
"The world is now changing in a way that the future generations won't only be watching TV. What it means is that, music promotion and the music video format is about to change. Material is also wanted for websites such as Youtube and Myspace. Warner Brothers has now shown interested in working with me and making artistic illustrations for the band rather than making visuals for a certain song."
To my understanding, they've been filming material already as he spent the weekend in Greece with the band and also flew over to London on Monday.
I, for one, find the news fairly interesting 'cause a) he did a great job with FOH and b) the band seems to be excited about this as well, which isn't always the case with other promo-related projects (or 'projekts' for that matter ::)).
-
i ment with the photos that,
everyone got the same 3 photos, the desk, the cherub heads, and the owl.
they way it was worded that it was a real poloroid, not a printed one.
-
i cant wait !!! i want my album right now :'( :'( :'( :'(
>:( i don't know where's mine :'( :'( :'( :'(
u.u

Just a little thing i posted at himclub,it annoys the crap out of me:
Holy crap,they got a 2 on the dice in the norwegian dagbladet newspaper:Dagbladet (http://"http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2007/09/18/512374.html")
But what an fucking idiot. He just start to complain about their concert at Valle Hovin with metallica(Which by the way was GREAT ;)) Which has noting to do with the record at all. And the says that they managed to a few catchy ballads and radio friendly rock. And this comment is just pathetic:
"Most of the time goes to break thru the heavy material that most likely is Ville Valo`s miserable,hopeless and egotrip life. Believe me, its not worth the effort"
Sorry for the bad translation,but he uses very difficult Norwegian that is hard to translate into english! But this is so typical norwegian music reviewers...Everthing they write is based on their own opinion and not on what they hear >:(
-
Another tiny point on the normal special edition cover art...
I really like the: VENUS DOOM HIM SIX symbol graphics.
Me too, I like the SE cover better than the painting. But don't get me wrong, the painting is nice too.
-
It is. :)
-
Another tiny point on the normal special edition cover art...
I really like the: VENUS DOOM HIM SIX symbol graphics.
Those are on the limited one too.
-
I will get the regular in a week or so. Got to keep up with the collection you know ;)
Yeah, they all looked at me weird at work today when I bought 2 of each version. I always like to have one to open and look through, and one to keep sealed. It's fucking expensive though! I also picked up the Superman/Doomsday DVD, to round out Doomsday Tuesday!
-
...but people here have not got the same 3 photos. There so far have been two different sets.
Also in the original wording it said "leather" and "polaroid" in quotes... meaning like.
Here is the original wording gif:
([url]http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h208/jenXjenX/LEorig.gif[/url])
Leather? I'd say cardboard. It doesn't look leather to me. I'm disappointed with the book and Polaroids. It was definitely overpriced. :(
-
I guess I'm glad that I got the regular cd if the most expensive one was a bit over priced...
-
man i still didnt get mine, this is such BS, why did i pay $8 shipping for? and it doesnt even arrive on the street date, im so pissed at warner, they suck so much
>:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

-

-
Mine still hasn't shipped.
Luckily, I've had the leak since September 4th, so no worries there.
-
I bought it today with the bones cd
-
I still didn't get my Limited, too
I'm from Germany, and it was also shipped on 12th
-
Havnt got mine either, shipped on the 12th and i live in Australia....better be here soon, cause i havnmt heard it yet, refused to download the leak to wait for my edition and no where where i live stokes anything decent music wise
-
here are my pics.... I got a blurry bottle, a blurry desk i think... and from what I can tell, a green Lily Lazer....
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v706/BMXFRO/polariods.jpg)
you know after looking at the pages of the book, most of the "polaroids" are actually the artwork. Well with the exception of the one I think looks like linde...
-
Do those who have the Special Edition, does anybody know what it says on the cover, I have figured it out
-
Do those who have the Special Edition, does anybody know what it says on the cover, I have figured it out
I don't have it...but I think it's "VENUS DOOM" in the letters on the artwork you're talking about. What else should it be???
-
I was so happy to hear the actual cd version cuz the leak wasn't as clear obviously. It's so good.
i got mine yesterday. I do think they were overpriced but it's the way they set it up was really cool.
My pictures, were a broken violin in pieces, a cracked egg type thing, and a pathway in a backyard

september 19 and i don't have my venus doom leather book edition ??...
wtf?? whyy????
:'( :'( :'(
-
It depends on what country you're in, and your postal system. You're from Mexico so I could see it taking another 2 days or so to get to you. I'd imagine you;ll be getting it by the end of this week.
-
man im like really pissed, this shit is soooooooooooooooooooooooo..........soooooooooooo overpriced its not even funny
this crap is cardboard, WTF?
the photos are crap, WTF?
i still dont see why i paid $60 for this.
the darklight Limited internet only edition was cheaper, and it had more things to offer. it was even certificated.
uhhhhhh im so disappointed . >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
didnt they say its a journal . meaning with entries in it, they advertised on the site like ville wrote in it, talking about Venus Doom and his love for art
WHERE IS THIS??? i dont freakin see it, its the same artwork in the Special Edition, so we pay extra $30 for a booked version of the special edition???
WTF seriously WTF
"For HIM's newest album release, Ville Valo gives heartagram a look deep inside the creation of Venus Doom Combining his love for visual arts with the music that is Venus Doom, Ville Valo created what's best described as a mad man's diary. Over 30 pages of Ville's personal drawings, photographs and journal entries are housed within an embossed book that also contains the album, a second disc with 3 bonus tracks, parchment sleeves and Polaroid's. Venus Doom:The Journal is a limited edition creation that is only available at heartagram.com. Click here for more information."
-
Has anyone seen that on itunes the album has two bonus tracks, Killing Loneliness and WOAB live. Anyone have any idea when/where they are from?
-
still waiting for my special special edition. if it ever gets here...
i went to HMV yesterday to promote v.d/HIM---i made sure to move as many of the cds to the top shelves, so theyd be seen better, lol. ;D
i ended up getting the second edition, & a free promo tshirt, which i may wear to the concert, i dunno.
i like most of the songs very much.
-
My "Venuses" arrived today, both special and limited edition. I like both of them especially the cream colored digipack one... The "diary" "leather" version is OK but yeah, overpriced as hell... There is some diff artwork inside and bigger pages though... ;D

That's great!
How do we find out where it is in the charts in the UK, since TOTP's has finished?
In a way that's a step backwards, though, 'cause HIM have gone number 1 with every album since RR. But as Ville said before the release, it'd be a healthy blow to his ego if VD didn't make it to number 1. :) Good job nonetheless.
-
It's about time someone humbled that mother fucker. God knows he'll never see himself as anything short of a god at a HIM headlined show.
Hopefully this, and the crowds from Projekt Revolution will center him a bit.
-

God, he fucking needs that! ;)
-
well greetings guys, I need to say something...
I just received the limited edition of VD and the only thing I can think of is...
SHIT!!!!
pardon my french
damn cardboard, leather my ass, the package came all beaten up, I dont fully understand the "art" in the "journal", the same printed "polaroids" with that weird alien looking Linde.
So I feel ripped off, I kept faithful to them and I paid $60+ on this thing that should cost $20.
At least the music is good.
-
There's been a few people saying the Warners packaging was bad and damaged - was the journal beaten up too?
Mine came fine. I almost wish it came beaten up, then I could hound them for a refund. The packaging is extremely lackluster, the album is nothing special, and the bonus tracks are bullshit.
-
There's been a few people saying the Warners packaging was bad and damaged - was the journal beaten up too?
So badly damaged, I'm gonna send a mail to them and ask a refund. The thing looked like it was stored for ages. I feel so mad. $60 bucks!!!
the album is nothing special, and the bonus tracks are bullshit.
you're right, the cds art is crap. I liked the songs in the album. The bonus tracks are annoying. Bleed Well acoustic is great.
-
My polaroids are an owl, a shot of a mixing board covered in cables and pedals, and a shot of some strange looking things...look like baby head door knockers...
-
i apologize if this has been brought up......
but does anyone know what is up with "them"(whoever them is) changing the HIM logo on VD. they softened the letters and rounded them off+they got rid of the best part of all....the strikeout line through the middle.
-
They felt it was time for a change. I don't doubt that the old logo will return on the next album though.
-
i like the new HIM sign, it looks ok
its not much different from the old one. so its not too bad.
-
September 21th .... and my venus doom??? >:( i don't know!!!
:'(
:-\ wtf?? my friends have it since one week later ??... i pre-order my leather version the 2nd day that appears in the web... :'(
-
i really hate WB too, because i still haven't got my limited internet edition=(, and i want it sooooo badly!!!!
-
mines still to arrive...better come soon
-
lala over a week for mee.
I'm not expecting any miracles though, cause
I'm sure they've got much better things to
do then send my lovely cd to Aussie. And if it
comes damaged...then well they shall burn :D
-
i got mines today ;D ;D ;D ;D. in a perfect condition. not damaged.
i got the KOD single too ;D
-
Jen, I've been meaning to ask you, have you gotten your KOD Maxi yet? I really want to cancel my order from that site (musicnonstop.co.uk) but I can't find where to do it.
-
True. At least I've got the mp3s to hold me over. Not like that PKF remix is that great anyways. Oh so I haven't gotten my KOD singles from recordstore yet :'(. They were sent out on 9/11 and I still haven't gotten them. Usually my orders from there show up in 7 to 9 days, tops. I got a KOD promo from England that was shipped on 9/18 that showed up yesterday. Figure that out.
-
I haven't gotten my recordstore shipment yet. Anyone else feel ripped off by the limited edition leather book VD? It's cool, but the Dark Light tin was so much cooler and cheaper...
-
It's a huge ripoff. That's why I got the special edition and just downloaded the BW Acoustic. If I really want the band to get my money, I'll give it to 'em at a concert where they actually make something.
-
its the 22nd and i'm still waiting for my vd cd's... ::)thank god i didn't hold my breath.
-
Has anyone seen that on itunes the album has two bonus tracks, Killing Loneliness and WOAB live. Anyone have any idea when/where they are from?
I've asked around but nobody seems to know. Are they exclusive tracks to this digital version?
-
Killing Loneliness is. KL was never released as a live recording. WOAB might just be the same one that's on the KL single.
-
Theres a small Venus Doom ad in this month's Revolver, and at the bottom it specifically states, "Also available as a limited edition CD with bonus tracks and limited edtion vinyl".
Has anyone seen it for sale or a release date?
-
September 23th...
i don't have my venus doom >:(
i cant wait :'( :'( :'( :'(
.... :'(
i'm waiting for you to drown in my love... my Venus Doom :'( :'( :'(
-
still waiting~
and yes, if your wondering I do
have nothing better to do then complain
of my lack of cd
-
i'm wating for my Special Editon and my Dubbel LP
-
Finally i got my limited edition,looks pretty cool,BUT NO WAY its worth the 50 bucks. And i like the remixses,they dosent sound so bad as i thought. like love in cold blood(arabic version,haha) best.
And i also got the special edition too...funny story by the way. Me and my class friend was down and warner here in oslo to to a short interview with a guy that worked there,it was for a school project. And when we where done i just mentioned a Kiss of dawn singel that he had laying around and that i was a big fan. And he said i`ll see if i can get you one,but insteed he returned with the the normal jewelcase cd and the special editon and just handed it to me and said "here you go. they where just laying around in the office", ;D
i feel like a shitty kid bragging for no reason,but damn i got excited when it happend :D
-
i had to wait like 30 min to get mine.....drive to bestbuy wait in line.. then leave.... ::)
-

What the deuce?
Your Amish?
-
did anyone notice that when you put the special limited edition 2nd disc in your computer to import into itunes, it comes up with weird song titles? just the titles are diff though, like the first remix is called "breath." dont know if anyone brought this up.
-
Venus doom nr.12.
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=81513
-
i'm so happy and proud of them
but i just went to billboard.com and they're not on it. idk someone explain
-
Billboard hasn't updated yet. The charts that reflect last week won't be up for another day or so.
-
venus doom sold 38,000 copies it's first week....debuted @ #12
-
Kick ass!
-
fffiiinnnaaallllyyyg ot my venus doom "leather" book edition....fucking impressed with the album (its the first iv heard it) thewhole album is just great.
-
I have to drive 20 kilometres now to take my shipped VENUS...anything is mentioned with custom charges...I hope I'll get it without paying extra money..
I'll come up to tell you tomorrow!
-
i dont really keep up with HIM news anymore but how is the cd selling in the states? i've seen alot of advertisement here in los angeles but thats about it.. havent heard of any chart positioning here in the states
-
It came in 12th on Billboard. Dark Light debuted at 18, so it's doing fairly well.
-
I think it will drop, than when they are back with the touring (I hope) it will be back on the Top 50.
Because they really Effed up Fans in America.
Not just Touring wise, but Package, Material.
Good luck this project, since I can just see them trash talking this Cd next album to come.
-
Ville will talk about how "heavy" the next album will be, comparing it to Slipknot, The Berserker, and/or From Autumn to Ashes (and Black Sabbath), then it'll sound relatively similar to every other CD they've produced thus far. I would really like them to expand their sound.

You forgot about Slayer. It will be something between Slayer and Backstreet Boys ;D ;D ;D

ha the berzerker....
-
it's heavier then everything cept the first, it's just been worked on by the producer.
these songs live are gonna be amazing
-
I haven't received the limited edition yet.
-
I went out and bought the 12 track version at Best Buy. I really like the artwork.
I put a few hundred dollars on my debit card today, so I might reorder the book tomorrow. The way people were talking about it makes me a little iffy though.
-
I finally got my LE...and i had to pay 8.50 Euros extra charge...but this has nothing to do with Warner but with the postal system in Europe, at least in Germany!
However I paid it, and I must admit I can't understand all the criticism abot that version...
1. there are 60 pages!!! like they told us...not 30...
2. the layout is very cool...much better than Dark Light sheet metal box
I'm fully satisfied...and the album is really GREAT!!!
-
http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/discography/index.jsp?pid=396033&aid=1056313
wonder if this means Passion's Killing Floor is going to be the next single...
-
Don't believe this site. They say that HIM released Dark Light Single :D
-
Here in Holland it came in on the 36th place
(http://xs119.xs.to/xs119/07396/VD36Dutch.jpg)
-
In Poland VD is on 48th place :(
-
this ebay seller http://cgi.ebay.com/HIM-New-2007-Ltd-Ed-VENUS-DOOM-2-VINYL-RECORD-SET_W0QQitemZ290165563815QQihZ019QQcategoryZ307QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is telling that will be a double vinyl edition released october 5th
any more info?
because for me its too much soon to buy again! i still need the digi editon............
well at least this must be cheaper and the euro/dollar change is very well for europeans
-
in Spain I believe that they arrived until the third position, i'm not sure :S
-
here in Sweden is VD on the 12th place
-
hello
My favourite Bleed well like very good :P kiss kiss :D
-
Bleed well is just overrated. Great guitar riff,but the best on venus doom...HELL NO
-

It's completely based on opinion, so attempting to place one's own "favorite song" over another is useless ;)
-
i really find myslef unable to stop listening to cyanide sun, its such an incredible song
-

I agree.
Everyone has is own taste on songs. Bleed Well is a great song, but for me, my favorite keeps in Kiss of Dawn, but thats only me.
The thing that matters is that is a great album.
-
Now my favorite is Love In Cold Blood. Melodic, but heavy. That's what I like ;)
I love when Ville screams "MY LOVE IN COLD BLOOD!"
-
Check your credit card statement to be sure you were actually charged for the CD. If so, contact Warner Bros. with the information off the website or on the confirmation email they sent you.
-
Calm down i don't have mine either (The leather bag) i need it now.. that's all i know...
I think it will take a lot to arrive to my country ( Costa Rica)
-
the Venus Doom one is sweet, they should have full versions of these on the upcoming dvd
-
I wonder if they made videos for Sleepwalking, Dead Lovers' Lane, and Cyanide Sun too ???
-
Neato! Too bad Ville looks very unhappy in both. In all of these teaser videos he looks like he just doesn't wanna be there.
-

He knows that the videos are crap :D
I liked the Bleed Well video though. ;)

Actually I just saw them (all) for the first time today.
It seems they are using mixes and raising the sound for the Videos.
Some scenes were just cut to and pasted in nearly all of the videos (Burton playing the Piano or Mige using the Bass not like his normal dropped style just so he could fit in the scene).
If these are released on the soon to be created DVD than that should be nice as extras I think. But not if they are planning to use those 30 second stuff.
The art looks way better than the current videos they have been doing for the last four years, which is quite sad.
-
The guys that do that style of animation create much better work than a lot of the official videos. I think And Love Said No had it right.
-
last tuesday i checked on billboard and was disapointed since HIM wasnt even in the top 100, then i looked yestarday and they were up at 12 anyone know whats goin on with that, for instance the number of records they sold?
-
It takes a week or so for the chart to show up, since the numbers are for the first week sales.
-
My limited edition copy finally shipped today.
I was a little worried, Warner took the money out of my account before it posted the notification. Definitely not as smooth as Amazon.
-
hello
very good I like that Bleed well
Love IN Cold Blood songs :-*
-
2nd week nr 68. They need new single ! album is so great1
-
Second single probably won't be out till December. Lots of HIM fans are probably just downloading the CD and not buying it. Damnit... At least they are still in the top 100.
-
Yeah, if I recall, Dark Light dropped out of the top 100 after the first week.
-
Here in Holland it came in on the 36th place
This week it went down to 77
-
i'm so happy and proud of them
-
Well, I have just read on amazon that the sell the venus doom limited edition cd plus a dvd and some bonus pint glasses.
What is that dvd? Are they right or what?
Please, explain it to me ???
-
She's talking about this.

Some dipshit on ebay who doesn't even know what the product they are selling is. It's just the 2 disc special edition and two HIM pint glasses thrown in. You could and probably still can buy them at Hot Topic or Spencers. Hell, that 2 disc still has the Target price sticker on it! He/She probably paid $15.98 for it during release week and now wants $44 for it and two glasses that sold for like 10 bucks.

this time they only do cdr promos in normal case, and as i know they are even more rare than with dark light becuase that time were given to lot of music magazines and this time i'm only sure that were given to warner companys at different countries
probably you have noticed to, how less promotion was given to kiss of dawn, with woab there was tons of printed promos in all the countries, even i have two different printings of the killing loneliness promo, are the same but the geman print have more quality on the printing
this time as much you can find one kod promo in uk, that is just one of those cheap cdrs with an insert in a gelatine case, just a copy of the artwork (if we can name as artwork) of the american promo that is also rare but at least is a printed cd (i think)
with dark light the band did a mini-tour in europe presenting and promoting the album, but this time know
for example 10 days ago or so ville and mige were at Madrid doing some interviews, but again they wont be on any spanish tv program
with dark like they werent on tv too but at least that time i know the label tryed to find some appareances on tv here
last time this happened here on spain, was with love metal, and that was too much time ago
-
I still need to track down a Venus Doom promo. I've already gotten one of the KOD promos.
-
Neither I Have mine!!!! I'm freaking out now!!!!
I sent an e-mail to warner asking what had happened with my VENUS DOOM LIMITED EDITION!!! and I received this terrible message!!!!
Thank you for contacting Online Customer Service. Our records indicate that your order shipped on September 24, 2007, pleaseallow 25 to 35 days for delivery to an international address.
I can't believe I have to wait all that time... I hope it arrive soon, otherwise...!! i will get really pissed off!!! why does it take that much!!!???!!! It's NOT FAIR!!!! i hope they won't ask me for more money when it finally arrive. According to that email i will need to wait like 2 weeks more approximately...!! I payed like 63 US $!!! and 13$ of those were for shipping and handling i thought that was enough money to get it soon in my country (Costa Rica)!!! and now i receive this terrible news!!!
-
I got my limited editition yeasturay ;D
Why are there no numberings like the DL lmtd. had?
-
HIM has dropped to #108 on the billboard top 200. However they are #8 in top hard rock albums and #14 in top internet albums.
-
Mine arrived this week with a 16 ? extra charge. >:(
-
that's what I thought, too, Jen, when I got it in my hands...
you said some stuff you waited ages for??? how can that be? I would freak out...
-
I'm still waiting, too.
I really hope I don't have to pay extra money...wtf...
-
HIM has dropped to #108 on the billboard top 200. However they are #8 in top hard rock albums and #14 in top internet albums.
Thanks for information. Just now Venus Doom is #7 in Finland's official albumlist (maybe wrong word)
Special Limited Edition looks good but it's too expensive to me, so I think I never buy it. Normal Venus Doom is enough to me.
-
From an recent interview: (http://community.livejournal.com/valo_daily/2224361.html#cutid1)
About Sleepwalking Past Hope
It?s going to be great to play live.
and
Hopefully next year we?re going to go over to South America for the first time. We played Mexico a few times, but we?ll go to Brazil and Argentina and places like that. That might be exciting. It?ll be good to see what happens with the album.
-
hopefully that means tehy will play SPH live but i remember an interview where i think burton said that In the Nightside o f Edan would be fun live but they never played it, so yea, we can only hope
-
dont kno if anyone else noticed this but the song that plays when you go to heartagram.com has changed to bleed well possibly foreshadowing the new single ;D ;D ;D
edit: also plays when u go on their myspace. ;D ;D ;D

-
Does anyone know when Venus Doom is being released on vinyl?
-
I don't have my Venus doom yet... i'm stating to lose control with WARNER!
-
I don't know what to do!!! I don't know if it is because of the country I live, but it's weird that people from the UK had already received and I who live in in Costa Rica (Central America) have not, I suppose it shipped from the US, and I think its logical that people on the same continent receive first that people from others.. well i think...
I hate that when I try to contact warner by an email, they always last a lot to answer me !!! I HATE THAT that pisses me off a lot!!
-
You should check with you courier also and send a mail to warner to have the shipping status. I live in Guatemala and got it 5 days after the release.
Warner's costumer service is a shit so send the mail right away so you can get the reply sooner.
-
Yeah I have the KOD vinyls. I don't think Venus Doom has come out yet, well at least I can't find it anywhere :(
