Title: Tears on Tape
Post by: Jay on January 01, 2013, 03:32:37 PM
Again, just so we'll have one topic and not 10...this is the "official" thread for discussion.  :)

This is NOT for leaks! Any links to leaks will be deleted.  Only official links and YouTube links will be allowed.

I heard from a reliable source that this is going to be, supposed to be, should be a top notch album. Hopefully we'll get some news about a single soon now that Helldone is over. I kinda want it to be I Will Be The End Of You, just because I'm dying to hear the studio version of it now, but I also want it to be something else just so that I can hear another song off of the album. Then again, I've got a good feeling about this album, and nothing beats hearing a bunch of brand new songs all at once instead of having heard them all or the majority of them already before the album even comes out. I would still skip work to download and listen to a leak of it all day, though.

Yeah, I'm thinking some singles news will be coming...maybe once Heartagram comes back.  I love that riff from I Will Be The End of You.  The other one "Lips" also sounds like it's gonna be bad ass and different.

I always say that I'm not going to listen to any leaks, but then run and put a shitty copy on my iPod.  I have no will power.  I almost don't want to listen to the live versions that are floating around either, but that's kinda like watching Mila Kunis dance in her underwear and not doing anything either...wait, what were we talking about again?

I didn't want to say anything, but in that time that I was gone from the site, Mila and I were trying to work it out.  It was going well until Ashton got divorced...and now, I'm back.   :'(

Oh, but yeah..Tears on Tape...yeah...gonna be a good album.  *cough*

According to Ville in that article he says:

"We're too major for a minor, but we also need someone who will appreciate all the different sides of the band. We've got a little pocket money so we self-financed the album without the endless meeting and bullshit - we went straight to the guitars and, in my eyes and ears, it's paid off. The businessmen will sort out the business and the musicians will take care of the music. It's the only way things should be."

Does this mean they won't have a label for this album?

The comparison to Sabbath and Type O Negative makes me giddy.

Sounds like he could be hinting towards a self-release.

The journalist actually said Sabbath too. More happy about the Type O comparison by the journalist, though. I don't think Ville's compared the sound to Metallica... yet.  ;D

The album was supposed to come out in March, but as there are no updates I think we will see it later on.

Post by: Daedalus on January 12, 2013, 11:41:36 AM
There was never an announced date other than "Winter 2013" which encapsulates Jan-March. If the album is pretty much done at this point, as soon as they get a deal with a label going it could easily be out by the end of winter.

i bet,it will be out until the summer festivals they are playing this year

I think the album will be out till 14 april. Which means that in the next two weeks they have to shoot a video, and we have to see it around 20 feb. And probably we'll hear the album before the end of march  ;D And lets hope the official site will be online the end of jan or beginning of feb.

only predictions!  ::) :D

Nada. They are still working on a label/distribution deal. The album itself is probably complete, or very near so.

The new HIM album is fucking great. I'm going home.

So tonight. The upside: I got to hang with some friends & made a new one. I heard a great new record that made me excited like a total fan.

@lujja616 nope. It was just us hanging out and Ville playing it to us as a friend.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: 616 on January 19, 2013, 04:45:48 AM
i am really excited about it, because i really love that I will be the end of you song played at Helldone , even though Ville was drunk and off key like fuck,i really can imagine how it possibly sounds on the album.
 for me it is totally oposite of the Strange world, because the more i listen to Strange world the less i like it, i hope they wont put that track on Tears on tape
at least release date would be appriciated, because i told myself this time i wont listen to any leak at all, i will listen to it after releasing from the CD, but i cant wait ...
Title: Re: Tears on Tape

Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on January 22, 2013, 02:30:03 PM
This wait is horrible. I just wanna know what the first single is and what the release date for it is. Right now, it doesn't even seem like they have a new album coming out. I want it to be like the old days of an album release, not this secretive shit that's going on now. I understand, though, they might still be looking for a record label or a way to release it themselves. Still, the lack of info sucks, especially seeing as we're not too far away from the targeted release date.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: 616 on January 22, 2013, 03:19:28 PM
exactly! "the lack of info sucks"  !! my words man, my words.....
i know it is almost impossible to tell the release date because they probably  still dont have any label but the album is done from what Tim Palmer said on Twitter.... so they should make a website and put some preview of it...
i dont know how they want to sell this stuff when they have no advertisement , no promotions,no anything
i remember before Dark Light was released they had this pre-release mini tour to promote and support this record and it worked

btw i am still not sure about Strange world, will it be on the Tears on tape, or not?
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on January 22, 2013, 05:50:33 PM
Strange World definitely won't be on Tears On Tape. Maybe on the Japanese version as a b-side or something, though, haha.

No, not the Japanese version.  The Deluxe Japanese digipak version.  Not to be confused with the Deluxe Japanese Jewel Case version. 

The cover is attached.  I had my Asian buddy hook me up.

My Asian buddy is amazing.  Guys, he could get in serious trouble releasing this image...if you notice the new HIM logo.  Please keep it to yourself.  He only gave it to me to share here, because he knows you guys are fanatics.

Of course hologram is hard to see, but from what he tells me, it's amazing when you hold it in your hand.  He says it's like Ville is standing in your room.

He says that the Japanese 2 LP hologram cover is only available in Sweden.

look at this outstanding quality 1080p of I Will Be The End Of You from 12.28.2012 Helldone - totally great quality ,you can also hear burtons soft keyboards in it. !!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaXJ4sS_uTU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaXJ4sS_uTU)

and at 2:26 - Ville: "so this one´s gonna single"  

but his microphone is totally low damn, but i love those soft keyboards, really nice song i love it, the more i listen to it the more i like it

edit: btw i really enjoy drunk Ville after the song ends ,he is fucking legend!  ;D :D

Not quite sure what to make of that link above. I got it from Tumblr, but I looked it up myself on Instagram. It's a picture of Bam carrying around two canvases with Daniel P. Carter from that BBC Radio show commenting that he's done 13 paintings himself for the new HIM album's cover art, and he wanted to do a swap with him. From looking at his (Daniel's) Instagram, he does paint and draw art. Not sure if he was being serious about doing something for the new album, though. I don't know much about the guy, so maybe it's not too far fetched an idea. Seems kinda random, though.

I got these two today.  It seems like the first is aiming for a distributing partnership with McDonald's.  They have thousands of stores worldwide, and I understand that it's going to be sold in every McDonald's!  It's brilliant, in my opinion.

The second is an American-only Hot Topic version.  There is going to be a limited run of 750,000.  Get them while you can! I know I'm going to buy 2 and keep one sealed...you know, just in case.  eBay gold!

Again, these are sensitive, so please keep them to yourself.  The people giving these to us could be in deep shit if it gets out.

There were many more files hosted before Eugene deleted them and blocked the permissions

I'm such a sucker, I'm all in on this!

I don't get why the new album has two old songs on it, but whatever...I'm still gonna buy it.

I Think the bonus tracks  will be included in the FanPack edition only.

Yeah. But I'd rather have 2 new tracks. I guess this is better than 2 shitty remixes.

If those are indeed both Live In Hel versions, they could've at least given us something other than BABL since it's already been released.

The titles are almost a parody of what non HIM fans think HIM songs are called. I believe in Valo, so I'm not concerned per se, but it's interesting.

Not certain, but we know they recorded a handful of songs at Finnvox other than what's already been released. I can't see them re-making two recent songs, other than to do live studio versions. And it makes sense to include these as technically Live in Hel. was only available in Germany, so most people wouldn't have access to BABL. Even though we all do cos we're sick.

Ya true but i dont know what they can do better than whats included in this fanpack.   If there turns out to be an american ltd. ed. then i might consider depending what it would come with.   It would have to include a ton more bonus tracks for me to buy another copy probly.

I like the song titles. Especially "Trapped In Autumn."

Not to get all emo, but I just broke up with someone named Autumn, so this song sky rockets to the top of my list.

The rest of the track titles look interesting. Normally I think track titles mean shiet without actually hearing the song. But there doesn't seem to be any songs that I'm thinking "I'll probably be skipping over that one"

From Universal Music Finland:

"The new album by HIM-"Tears is a Tape" will be released in April 2013. The popular band's eighth studio album worldwide release will take place at the same time, the Finnish release date, 16.4. The first single from the upcoming album is called "Into The Night". The band's new record company in Finland is Universal! Welcome To HIM!"

Finnish release date, so if you mean leak as worldwide release then yes  :D but i wont listen to it until i buy the CD hopefully there will be some limited edition with some bonus tracks from Tears on tape i dont count that metal hammer fanpack as limited edition

btw thank you Daedalus

Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on February 20, 2013, 11:10:26 AM
The way they worded it, it makes it sound like the worldwide release date will take place the same time as the Finnish release date on April 16th. It doesn't really matter, though.

I'm excited when I saw 16.4, but when I see in the facebook fanpage 26 my mood changed haha! But I thought that the first single would be "I Will Be The End Of You", can't wait for hear "Into The Night"

I was half asleep when I got my tickets from staying up after work from the night before. I did notice a Wings Of A Butterfly (lol) digital download option for $1.29 or some shit when I was scrolling through one of the pages, but I was trying to get everything done as fast I could so I could just go to sleep. They pre-ordered a digital version of the new album on there and got that cover then, or what?

HELSINKI/BERLIN, February 20, 2013 ? Finnish rock superstars HIM have signed a licensing deal with Universal Music Germany?s Vertigo Berlin imprint. The deal ? for all territories excluding North America, UK & Ireland, China and India ? will govern the release of the highly anticipated new album ?Tears On Tape? due out on April 29.

The follow-up to 2010?s ?Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice?, ?Tears On Tape? is nothing less than a face-punching, heart-tugging 13-track monster of an album, and if it recalls the glories of albums like 2003?s ?Love Metal?, then it?s no accident ? rejoining forces with longtime producer Hiili Hiilesmaa, ?Tears On Tape? is a love letter scrawled in large, block capitals.

 Formed by high school friends obsessed not only with the immortal refrains of Black Sabbath but also the gloom-laden, sardonic wit of Type O Negative, HIM have become national icons in their native, rock and metal-loving Finland. Their trademark Heartagram symbol has left its indelible stamp on the globe and, with sales of more than 8 million records, HIM are a force like no other. They also have the distinction of recording the best-selling single of any Finnish artist to date with ?Join Me In Death? from 1999?s ?Razorblade Romance?, as well as being the first Finnish band to receive gold certification in the United States with 2005?s ?Dark Light?.

?We wanted the heaviness without losing the sentimentality,? says frontman Valo. ?Imagine Rambo meets The English Patient and you?re almost there. It?s got these big knucklehead riffs without forgetting the emotions behind them.?

Recorded in Helsinki and mixed at Assault And Battery Studios in London by longtime ?masterer? of ceremonies Tim Palmer (Ozzy Osbourne, U2, Pearl Jam), ?Tears On Tape is, according to Valo, the result of working with longtime friends: ?We?ve so much history that it enabled us to concentrate on the essential, which is making good songs sound as good as possible and turning them into something massive.?

I mean, I wanna hear a new song as much as anybody, but at least launch the website with the tour dates and all this news on there. I would be happy if they just did that. Instead, people have to search for shit and translate shit just to know what the hell's going on. All of that stuff should already be on the official website, all organized in one central area so it's easy to find and read.

Title: Sometimes, even when you put in the hours, it feels like its not coming together. I think it's time to call it a day and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow. This piece is part of something I'm really excited about, so I am hoping I find my way with it eventually... ?

Reasons to be the new artwork:
Pro:
Carter said earlier (http://thesacrament.net/forum/index.php?topic=6114.msg132367#msg132367) he did 13 paintings for the new HIM album artwork and his comments about the artwork.
The use of the Malachim alphabet
Carter added The Void as a location on Instagram.
The background of the unveiled ToT cover.
Con:
Carter used the Malachim alphabet earlier in his artwork. More then a year ago
The same goes for the background

For example:
(http://i49.tinypic.com/fodcp4.jpg)


Edit:
The texts in Malachim alphabet in the artwork:
1. The Face: Priestess
3. Pope: Le Pape
4. Two faces: Le mat

Kiss The Void Lyric

I'm losin' power and I don't know why?
Not really sure if I'll live or die
I wanna leave but I can't get away
It's a strange sensation
Out of control bein' by myself
I feel this gravitation
Caught like a magnet and I'm bein' pulled
(Into the void)
I wanna get away, get away
(Into the void)
I'm bein' pulled, I'm bein' pulled down
(Into the void)
This place is spinnin', spinnin' around
(Into the void)
Fell like I'm bein' pulled into a black hole
This crazy feelin's screwin' with my head
I'm overloadin' and my gauges are red
State of confusion's got a hold on me
I feel a hesitation
I'm bein' drugged, fallen out of the track
Don't like the situation
Caught like a magnet and I'm bein' pulled
(Into the void)
I wanna get away, get away
(Into the void)
My head is spinnin', spinnin' around 'round
(Into the void)
This force is gettin', gettin' stronger
(Into the void)
Fell like I'm bein' pulled into a black hole
(Into the void)
I'm bein' pulled, bein' pulled down down
Down down
I wanna really get away
(Into the void)
Don't like this feelin', I'm bein' pulled down
(Into the void)
I wanna get away, get away
(Into the void)
Feel like it's spinnin', spinnin' around
(Into the void)
I'm being pulled, bein' pulled down down
Down down
(Into the void)
Get away, get away
(Into the void)
Fell like I'm bein' pulled into a black hole
(Into the void)

Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Inferno on February 27, 2013, 09:23:22 PM
Just in case people missed any info, here's a nice article I found:

Finnish rockers HIM will release their new album, "Tears On Tape", on April 30th, 2013 via Razor & Tie in North America and on April 29th, 2013 through DoubleCross (Cooking Vinyl's specialist rock imprint) in the U.K. and Ireland.

"For me, what it means is how songs - I'm not talking about our songs, but songs in general - can be milestones. You hear a song and it brings you to where you heard that song for the first time, or when it meant something really big to you. 'Tears On Tape' means that I appreciate the people who have really poured their souls and hearts out on tape, and showed that to the rest of the world for the better or for the worse. I wouldn't be here without those tears of Elvis Presley on tape." -Ville Valo

HIM's lineup consists of:
Ville Valo - Vocals | Mikko "Linde" Lindstrom - Guitar | Mikko "Mige" Paananen - Bass | Janne "Burton" Puurtinen - Keyboards | Mika "Gas" Karppinen - Drums

The eighth official album was recorded at Helsinki's Finnvox Studios with longtime producer Hiili Hiilesmaa (who has also worked with artists such as Apocalyptica, Amorphis, and Moonspell) and was mixed in London, England by Tim Palmer, who has worked previously during 2005's "Dark Light" and 2007's "Venus Doom".

"Basically, we're making what I'd call 'modern retro'.  We wanted it to be nasty, fucked-up, and messy, and have that punk-rock attitude. But then on the other hand, it would also have that Roy Orbison naive, sentimental, dream-like quality." -Ville Valo

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WYOkbECrRxM/USvSC5YefOI/AAAAAAAALb8/kFqr0_MnLkM/s1600/382219_10151542253807704_817832401_n.jpg)

1. Unleash The Red
2. All Lips Go Blue
3. Love Without Tears
4. I Will Be The End Of You
5. Tears On Tape
6. Into The Night
7. Hearts At War
8. Trapped In Autumn
9. No Love
10. Drawn & Quartered
11. Lucifer's Chorale
12. W.L.S.T.D.
13. Kiss The Void

"I think because he (Mika Kristian Karppinen) had the ailment, we had the opportunity to reassess what we had.  It was a minuscule existential crisis. We had to figure out what we really want to do and if we really like each other enough to continue through the hardest times - or do we want to call it a day?" -Ville Valo

As a bonus, the [very exclusive and very limited] "fanpack", which is presented by Metal Hammer magazine and DoubleCross Records features some content that is not-to-be-found-anywhere-else.  Exclusively available from April 29th and for the following four weeks, the "fanpack" comes with a bespoke 132-page magazine edited by frontman Ville Valo himself that plays as the ultimate sleeve notes to the album, including:

* Full studio album + 2 bonus tracks ("Buried Alive By Love" and "The Kiss Of Dawn" recorded live in the studio)
* Giant double-sided door poster
* Exclusive interviews with Ville Valo and all members of HIM
* An extended track-by-track guide to "Tears On Tape"
* An interview with the architects behind the sound of "love metal" Hiili Hiilesmaa and Tim Palmer
* A detailed guide to HIM's extensive back catalog
* The true, exclusive story of the Heartagram
* An exclusive gallery from the band's own private collections
* Interviews by the band with as assortment of their own heroes

If you want to hear how the new material will sound on the live scale, then be sure to catch HIM on a limited North American tour at the following stops:

I don't think she's heard it. Obviously they send out promotional copies for review, but I don't think they're sending them out to random nobodies like her.

I think she's just trying to capitalize on the popularity of the band to get more visits on her website.

I just can't understand why a record company would wanna send her an album to review when she doesn't write anything about it that any of us could've written.

Exactly. If you're going to attempt to fool people, at least put some effort into it. Even if it's complete bullshit, people don't know that yet, so you can make up whatever you want that at least sounds reasonable.

"Hearts At War starts off with a subtle keyboard harmony, then quickly changes over to a dark, powerful guitar riff that will remind listeners of the band's first full-length effort."

I just wrote a better review right there in five seconds.

I believe her.  She sounds like she knows what she's talking about.   :P

I doubt anyone has the album this early.  Though she claims to be working with Revolver magazine, so there's always a slight possibility.

I could barely read the damn grey font against the black background.  My old eyes can't take it.

P.S.
My bank now shows a cleared charge for the fan edition.

Well the live perfor. of I will be The End Of You is exactly 3:25...So the album will be 3;25 too. I remember at the time before releasing of Screamworks there was length of songs of the album but they were incorrect at all...it was month or smething before the release date...

The other posibility is if there is a webshop who post the tracklist including the time length.

I wish we could get the album even next few days but thats not gonna happen (i will be able o listen the album loudly until 23 april, then i'll have to use earphones...).  never heard about leaking album 2 months before release... ACtually they probably start making the cd's in factory middle this month. So i dont think we'll get the whole album before 10 april....maybe 3-4 songs nothing more...

I'm listening to the show that ends at 10 PM. The songs that are new singles and unreleased stuff were played pretty early in the show, so I'm guessing we'll hear the new song pretty early at the 10 PM show.

2."All Lips Go Blue"  4:02
3."Love Without Tears"  3:57
4."I Will Be The End Of You"  3:25
5."Tears On Tape"  4:45
6."Into The Night"  3:55
7."Hearts At War"  3:37
8."Trapped In Autumn"  4:36
9."No Love"  3:50
10."Drawn & Quartered"  6:07
11."Lucifer's Chorale"  5:43
12."W.L.S.T.D."  4:39
13."Kiss The Void"  5:53

We can reject this.

Now we know that Lips Go Blue is 3:28 , 3:30. If its not radio edit...hmm  ::)

The song is incredible.

Lyrics: All lips go blue

Hear this silence dying song
a moment of comfort before the storm
my heart so violently beats along
leaving me to want it to have it all

I weep
for that dream
in a dream
the one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue

I read the words on torn down walls
reminding me how much I love you

I weep
for that dream
in a dream
the one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue

I weep
bleeding in another day
the one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
it's all for you
blue blue blue
it's all for you

[solo]

weep
for that dream
in a dream
the one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue

I weep
bleeding in another day
the one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
it's all for you
blue blue blue
blue blue blue
it's all for you
blue blue blue
blue blue blue
it's all for you


I'm not sure about some words. Please correct the lyrics

After listening to the song a few times now, it's still great, but it definitely has to be a radio edit because it just feels so...abrupt, I guess? It's easy to tell there's some parts missing, and it just kinda sounds incomplete.

Hear the silence, sighing/dying song
A moment of calm before the storm
My heart so violently beats along
Leaving me to want to end it all

I weep
For the dream
In a dream
The one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue

I read the words, on torn down walls
Reminding me how much I love you

I weep, bleeding
Yet another day, the one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
It's all for you
Blue, blue, blue
It's all for you

*AWESOME SOLO*

The version I'm listening to goes into the outright chorus and cuts off.

It was lower quality actually 64 kb instead of 112 but it didn't have talking over the beginning I tried to record it would have been fine but my phone started buffering the radio right smack in the middle of the first verse and fucked the recording but I did find the link to show on Daniel P. Carter's website so when it's up ill get it if I can.

Well Universal Music Finland said that Into The Night will be the single. All Lips go Blue seems to be only radio single, how it was Venus Doom at the time. Venus Doom hit the radio (YLE)  first or second week of august if I remember correctly, then the single of  released on 27 august or something including VD i KOD songs (only in  the internet) and then the album came 17 september.

I've read here in this forum that "into the night" could be the first single according to some info from the german or finnish label site, but i havent found the original source
but as they used on kerrang radio and bbc  "lips go blue" as premiere, maybe this should be the first single on UK

in kerrang uk stream, you can listen Johnny D at the beginning of the song telling that giving the cd free with the magazine is/have been "controversial", but i only now actually that metal hammer have an ltd edition with an 130 pages magazine edition that comes with the cd, and two bonus songs (probably same live recording as sonic seducer live in hell)
so is that one the "controversial" magazine? i've ordered already and probably all we here have done the same, very good price for such amount of HIM stuff

I think All Lips Go Blue will be only radio single or part of the single Into The Night. If they change their mind for 3rd time. :)

It was official announce so...if its true we'll hear one more song in the next 2 weeks.

KOD was the Finnish single. Venus Doom was simply the b-side, so they played it on the radio as well. But officially, KOD was the single in Finland.

Pretty good start, so far.

Plus, the way the verse beginnings are sung (Hear the silent sighing song, My heart so violently beats along,etc.) got a GLS666 mood, which is greatly appreciated. Quite calm, unexcited and very melodic, though.

the whole song is so heavy and beauty. i cant wait to hear it in orig. FLAC. We'll be able to hear so many details in the song and the guitars will totally blow out the speakers.

Oh, thanks a lot about the welcome :) It was a pleasure to post this here.
I've been looking this forum for about two years but I didn't post anything.

I really liked All Lips Go Blue and I Will be The End of You, but with TOT I'm starting to worry about the pop of the album.
They promised us a album with super heavy riffs, dirty songs and Love Metal. Yet is better than Screamworks I want some atmospheres and long songs.

I think we are hearing the "pop" side of the album 'cause it's the promotion and the "metal" songs will be the last ones on the album.

(Sorry If I made some grammar mistakes, I'm currently studying english so I'm not as good as you, sorry, haha)

I remember when was the promotion for Screamworks, they released 3 songs, Heartkiller, Like St. Valentine and Shatter Me With Hope. Probably left one song to hear before the big day?

I like the fact that we are *potentially* localizing singles...and hitting with random radio blitzes. A song that is popular in the UK may not be what's popular in Russia and likewise, the US. MANY artists have been localizing singles for decades...it's nice to see HIM finally doing the same thing.

Yeah i didnt think about the official site for 3 days.... so the point is - we need songs not website  ;D

Back in 2010 they launched the site month before the release of screamworks. Now we have 50 days until release date. So lets say around 20 march should be up including a music video.

This morning I've decide to stop listen Lips Go Blue because after so many replies  I've stop feeling what I felt the first times. And now what? ANOTHER NEW SONG!  :P
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Daedalus on March 06, 2013, 06:17:43 PM
New HIM bio buried on the R&T site, includes info on first US single and other songs:

'"There's a lot more to a record than simple notes, lyrics, and sounds. An impactful piece of music always remains wrapped in emotion. Love, hate, sadness, and joy resound at the greatest decibel imaginable. At the end of the day, a song's feeling will carry on as long as the melody will?and just as loudly.

HIM holds that philosophy in the highest regard on its eighth full-length studio album, Tears On Tape [Razor & Tie]. The platinum-selling Finnish quintet?Ville Valo (Vocals), "Linde"  (Guitars), "Mig?"  (Bass), "Burton" (Keyboards), and "Gas" (Drums)?finds rapture in divine rock 'n' roll hooks, eerie synths, and elegantly cinematic lyrics. You'll undoubtedly feel each tear they shed.
After touring heavily behind 2010's Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice, Chapters 1-13, the band began taking its next step musically. However, it wasn't as easy as these five musicians might've hoped it would be.

Suddenly, in 2012, "Gas" had sustained a repetitive strained injury in his hand, and his doctors weren't even sure if he would ever play drums again.
"We were heartbroken," admits Valo. "We waited eight months for him to heal. During that time, I wrote most of the material on the album with an acoustic guitar at home. It was a mechanism for coping with the stress. I had to do something so I focused on trying to make the songs the best they could possibly be. By a lucky miracle, 'Gas' healed up, and we were able to start this next chapter together."

That "next chapter" sees Valo and Co. venture into a new territory once again, while upholding the pillars of their patented "Love Metal" of course. They cut the album in their native Finland at Helsinki's Finnvox Studios, the site of some of their seminal work including their debut Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666 and 2003's Love Metal. In addition they tapped longtime collaborator Hiili Hiilesmaa for production and Tim Palmer [U2, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, Rober Plant] for mixing. The record also boasts paintings from long-time friend BBC Radio's Daniel P. Carter as cover art.
Always evolving, Valo mined inspiration from doo-wop of the '50s and the '60s, examining personal relationships, and pondering existential questions.

"It was a pretty solitary time," he goes on. "The last album I was really in my head. This time, I was constantly looking around me. I wanted this to be super simple. I kept coming back to imagery and harmonies fifties artists like The Ronettes or Roy Orbison would use. I wanted to describe humongous moments of emotional revelation as simply as possible. At the time, the summer was coming to an end. In Finland, the sun doesn't go down at all for summer. Then, it gets super dark in winter. The seasonal changes are very heavy. You can feel them emotionally and physically. The leaves had started falling, so it was like I was describing the autumn of a man?a Finnish man to be exact."

That autumn commences on the first single "All Lips Go Blue". A potent, powerful riff stands punctuated by foreboding keyboards, plaintive acoustic guitar, and a melancholically sweet melody. He reveals, "It's like a memento mori track. We're all going to die, so let's not worry about it now. Let's live first. That's how I see it.  The song combines everything we collectively love as musicians. It's a good indication of where we're coming from, but it doesn't reveal everything."

Instrumental segues such as the intro "Unleash the Red", "Trapped in Autumn", "Lucifer's Chorale", and outro "Kiss the Void" also expand the sonic palette add dramatic intricacy.
"I channeled Dario Argento and Goblin," laughs Valo. "Those parts allow the album to breathe and give it a sense of otherworldliness. Plus, having the intro is a very metal thing to do. Ozzy Osbourne and Iron Maiden did it!"

As the seas of the album swell, everything culminates to a brutally blissful close on "W.L.S.T.D." Brooding, bombastic guitars slip into the void of a whirling hook carried by Valo?"When love starts to die, so will I."


"Love is my world," he affirms. "I'm dependent on relationships, emotions, and the fact of having somebody I care for and would die for. I'd say that everybody is."
In many ways, the shimmering title track encapsulates the entire collection's mindset. "The lyrics to that song have a double meaning," he continues. "It's where I was emotionally when autumn was coming. At the same time, most of the lyrics are based on me describing my favorite songs growing up. Tears On Tape are the tears my favorite artists shed on tape. They created the musical milestones in my life. It's a love song for music. If life is a vinyl record and somebody lifts the needle, it ends. Like a record, life rotates into different moods and places. It's the sonic companion from birth until death."

Death always sounds good in HIM's hands. Since forming in 1992, the band has cultivated a truly diehard global fan base that wears the "Heartagram" logo proud. Over the course of seven previous albums, they became the first Finnish act to reach platinum sales in the U.S. Overall, they've surpassed sales of 1.75 million albums and over 1 million digital downloads in North America alone. Teaming up with Razor & Tie, they're marching into their next phase with Tears On Tape.

For Valo, autumn has begun and HIM is shining brighter than ever. "The whole thing needed a cinematic feel," concludes Valo. "We're microscopic beings in the big picture.  It's very personal. At the end of the day though, everybody has their secrets, but a lot of people hold the same secrets. We all live through the same seasons." '

I'm not dissapointed about the instrumentals... if you figure there will still be 9 songs.   I think theyre gonna be cool and it's something they've never done.   HIM can still jam without valo singing... look at the poison girl jam from the digital verstial doom... sick as fuck.   They are all extreamly talented and i have full confidence in the album.   

i do wanna hear i will be the end of you recorded*

honestly i would put them in this order right now from most fav to least based on playing and getting stuck in my head

1. all lips go blue
2. i will be the end of you
3. tears on tape

Umm, where has it been said that 4 songs would be full instrumentals? On the Razor & Tie -site it says there are instrumental parts in those four songs that "also expand the sonic palette add dramatic intricacy". They're not full intstumentals, that doesn't even make any sense.

Sorry for the double post, but that isn't true. Into The Night just premiered on that radio station is what I'm gathering.

On the side of the page it says "Kesto:00:56:59", which in English, means, "Posted:00:56:59". It also says "Poistuu:7.4.2013 klo 22:59" which in English, means, "Exits:7.4.2013 at 22:59" which means that the stream will be taken down on the 7th. I just can't get that stream working.

Just run Audacity, set it to record What you hear while you play the stream. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Not that I advocate that sort of thing.

To be honest, I think listening to this guys radio show will be a waste of time. This is obviously a techno show. There's a stream of the show that Into The Night was played on, but it isn't working.

I don't think so. I found a stream on the YLEX section of the site and that doesn't load at all. Just has a spinning loading icon on it. If it was country locked, it would probably say that the stream isn't available in your country.

They are definitely radio edits. It says on Last.FM that all the tracks we've heard so far are about a minute longer than what we've heard.

I do not think that those durations are legit. All Lips Go Blue "radio edit" is 3:27 and the normal version 4:41? Sorry, but it's too weird. And the song is a fast rocky one, it can be that long.
Tears on Tape with that 4:04 seems more legit.

I would like to suggest that we don't ruin the current system we have in place (Media section) It would be best to only discuss leaks there... posting it in forums that everyone, even guests, have access to will only bring on leechers and other undesirables. The media section isn't a secret, but it does take some community interaction to earn your right to it. I'm not the boss here, but if I had it my way that's how it would be... maybe even go as far as to moderate the lesser forums to remove all leak requests and all mentions of what is in the media section. PMs are always okay... we can't moderate those anyway, but if someone puts something up on media section and asks that it not be uploaded elsewhere/shared then we ask that you respect their demands.

Not trying to be rude or disrespectful Nny, but you've been a member since 2005 and based on your small amount of posts, and what they contain, your community involvement isn't one of your strong suits. A lot of us take that in consideration when choosing to share something with someone or giving someone access to more privileged parts of the forum. I hate to be "that guy", but it is what it is. If there's something I'm not seeing then please let me know and I will gladly share with you.

Into the Night it's really poppy, but I like it. It's catchy!
Anyway, Tears on Tape is also available to preorder on Amazon.com, if anyone is interested. And if you weren't able to order the fanpack edition from the site, the same edition is also available on Amazon.co.uk - I bought it there.

Oh, and Amazon.com has songs preview!!

Really disappointed that 4 of the songs truly ARE instrumental.

But they sound so obscure. I'm particularly fond of Unleash the Red. And Lucifer's Chorale sounds like the background track to a horror film.

And of the tracks we've yet to hear, I'm most curious about Love Without Tears. It sounds so.. right.

Really disappointed that 4 of the songs truly ARE instrumental.

But they sound so obscure. I'm particularly fond of Unleash the Red. And Lucifer's Chorale sounds like the background track to a horror film.

And of the tracks we've yet to hear, I'm most curious about Love Without Tears. It sounds so.. right.

I was disappointed also, but then I remembered Venus Doom only had nine tracks...It still might be enough :)

Yeah, it sucks...and 4 instrumentals, seriously?!
Anyway, now I'm really eager to hear the full version of Love Without Tears, Hearts at War and Drawn & Quartered.

The only interesting preview for the instrumentals is Lucifer's Chorale. If you told me that was HIM without prior knowledge I'd tell you to get the fuck out. lol I like all the other previews, especially Hearts At War.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape

No Love sounds just like Soul On Fire. Seriously.. sing Soul On Fire over the chorus.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Jay on March 10, 2013, 12:41:59 PM
WLSTD sounds like a Venus Doom B-Side. I love Venus Doom so for me that's a good thing.

The instrumentals sound obscure out of context. Maybe they fit well within the album.

I think this album is the best since Love Metal. Looking forward to my birthday more than ever now! :)

Oh guys, Love Without Tears preview is truly amazing. I'm so happy about this album. After hearing these previews I'm sure this gonna be one of their best records. (in my opinion of course) Maybe not a new direction from the guys but the vibe is placed very well. Now I have pretty similar feelings when I waited for Love Metal to be released back in 2003.

Hopefully they're announcing a version of the album with a fixed vocal version of I Will Be The End Of You, and the instrumentals replaced with b-sides that should've been on the album instead anyway. 8)

4 songs totaling 6:21. Shortest LP too. It'd be different if all the lyrics we're about new topics, but they're just recycled themes with new words. And the instrumentals seem like long intros.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Inferno on March 10, 2013, 01:49:48 PM
We can't really be upset... Sleepwalking past hope was just a bunch of stuff thrown together that they had no use for, that's why it was so long. Really no difference between doing that and making 4 separate and much shorter songs.

Since there's been some complaining about TOT album length I went and compiled these (ORIGINAL tracklists):

GLS: 41:49
Razorblade: 43:20
Deep Shadows: 41:44
Dark Light: 45:19

So yes, TOT is the shortest LP, but barely. It keeps in line with most of them. For those keeping score, Screamworks is the longest, trailed by Love Metal and Venus Doom.

If they have a special edition and it includes a lithograph or a t-shirt I'm not buying. I still regret wasting money on Saint Scream or whatever it was called. (and the t-shirt for the remix thing.)

I saw the Metal Hammer fanpack on the UK Amazon. It's also on eBay for $65.

Keep in mind that GLS had 9 songs, RR had 11, Deep Shadows had 10, and DL had 10 as well. None of those songs were instrumentals or short intros/outros into other songs. TOT has 13 and it's still the shortest album yet. If you take out those 4 "other" songs, the album's only 34:37 long. I think a lot of the disappointment stems from originally being excited for 13 new full-fledged HIM songs, but the album's still short no matter how you look at it, and it's definitely somewhat of a disappointment to me.

Its more like the album to came out 5-10 april... + a lot of people have it already out there...
Probably everything is because of the label. They didnt find after all. So they will take a fresh air and while that they will release tears on tape. I dont think they will stay in this situation forever. Now they have 2 more years to decide that. And maybe in the last moment they changed some of  the songs for this album. I think they have at least 20-30 songs unfinished and waiting to be recorded. some of them sounds like dark light, some of them sounds like venus doom or screamworks or RR and so on...

i think all this is one of the reasons this album to be so short. + this instrumentals are totally experimental....

For those of you who are still on the fence about ordering the Ultimate Bundle, here's a breakdown of how much everything costs that's in it:

1 x $20.00 Tears On Tape Transparent LP
1 x $20.00 Tears On Tape Cream LP
1 x $12.00 Tears On Tape Deluxe CD
1 x $2.00 Skull Tears On Tape Poster
1 x $10.00 Skull Black Large
1 x $10.00 Snake Tears Black T-Shirt Large
1 x $25.00 Snake Heather Charcoal Large
1 x $0.00 Tears On Tape Digital Download
1 x $1.00 Poster Tube

Besides the two vinyls and the deluxe CD, I don't think you can go wrong with two shirts for $20 and a hoodie for $25. If you were to buy each shirt separately later on, they'd probably be at least $20 a piece, and the hoodie would definitely at least be $50 if not more.

One of them you can open up and play, the other you can keep sealed. I don't even own a record player, but I'll still open up the transparent one and see what it looks like on the inside. I'll leave the cream one sealed, as I assume that will be the more desirable one later on.

Also, thinking about getting the double LP package. Will likely open the transparent one and leave the cream one sealed as that seems like it'll be the rarest.

ANY INFO if those 2 songs are REAL new bonus tracks?! Because it's been post in some places it's just The Kiss of Dawn and Buried Alive by Love >_>...

Amazon probably make a mistake when they release the previews, because now there are gone
they remove the links to play, but the mp3 samples are on same place

i'm not sure which version order, the ultimate bundle its too much for me, and the shipping is expensive for any release
i need mainly the vynils, but all made 50 euros to get them here, a few days ordered double XX vynil

are they only 500 each one? 2000 first orders get the digipack for free?

I assume they mean there's only 500 pressings of each vinyl. As far as the deluxe CD goes, you don't get it for free, but they're supposedly limited to 2000 copies. In my email for the Ultimate Bundle, the CD was listed at $12.

dang i already ordered the metal hammer one. im still hoping the Metal Hammer edition is the same as this digipack just with an extra CD in the magazine included that has those 2 extra songs.

it seems very lame to call it the ultimate "FAN" edition and not include the DVD or extra songs from this bundle or the poster or anything.

i agree though, how is this any different then back in the sire days with all the merch. i thought they hated those days and thats why they shut down the old site and changed labels and what not...

One of them sold out in minutes (And yes, i rang the minute they went on sale) and the other is a ?200 festival. The organizer really should have added more UK dates,now i won't see HIM this year.

they will perform in North America, germany, UK, few summer festivals, but festivals are not regular shows.... so you must prepare for short setlist and only hits with minimum of new songs

With all these different versions of the album, and probably soon to be different versions of the three singles, we definitely need someone to take it upon themselves to organize a list of all the different ones and what comes with them and where you can get them at. It's starting to get confusing.

The Ultimate Bundle is now sold out.
Or maybe everything is.
Or maybe something's wrong with that page.

Take your pick.

? thats more than 5 songs. that is advertised on the bundles website.

im lost now. i thought they got a new label to avoid this exact problem. 50million different versions of the same album making there fans buy the same cd multiple times to get everything. and while throwing in usless junk to rack up the prices.

that hottopic edition will probably be next.

Team Heartagram - No fall tour has been announced!

Ville said they will be playing Birmingham, UK for sure when they are properly touring UK in the future, not now.

So anybody who is in the UK with me will have to wait.
That's bullshit. VV indeed mentioned that they are booking shows after mid-august.
WTF. People doesn't know how to listen a fucking interview or what?

The whole message i wrote was taken from Team Heartagram, the only part that i actually said was that other people in the UK will wait with me. And these guys are the first to discover new information, so yeh i think they know how to listen to an interview lol

The problem is, they are on three different labels now. While they adavantages are that now they can better localize promotion (including singles, to match the tastes of each territory), things such as multiple versions are bound to occur.
That said, you can always just buy the digipack with DVD for $12 and forgo the ultimate bundle, as your ToT listening experience is the same regardless.

Hey Dan, how did you make your latest last.fm tracks appear as a forum signature? Sorry for the spam, just thought others might be curious as well.


Hey man. Go here: [url]http://www.last.fm/tools/charts/lastfmplain?subtab=&page=1[/url] ([url]http://www.last.fm/tools/charts/lastfmplain?subtab=&page=1[/url])

Choose the layout you'd like, and copy and paste the BBcode (make sure you're logged into your Last.FM account at this point) into your signature.


Thanks :)

Remember those reports that Moscow FM wasn't supposed to be playing "Tears on Tape"? I guess they were false because they have been playing it all week, as recently as today. Multiple times a day starting on the 12th, as a matter of fact.

I tried, but no matter which stream I choose, I keep getting random blips. It's not the stream itself, but something to do with how they play it back.
If anyone else wants to give it a go, either of the March 12 streams include uninterrupted intros and outros, http://www.moskva.fm/artist/him_%28goth_rock%29/song_0503575 (http://www.moskva.fm/artist/him_%28goth_rock%29/song_0503575)

Edit: Here's where the photos are coming from. Confirmed, video shoot for Into The Night and Tears on Tape. Ville did say they were shooting a video for All Lips next week, so I guess we get three videos off the bat.

The first version of TOT I listened to had a fuzzy guitar/bass intro, then the locutor said the name of the radio station and then the song as we know it.
This version starts with the piano part right in your face.

Just ordered mine from cdon.com, CD + DVD. from here http://cdon.fi/musiikki/him/tears_on_tape_%E2%80%93_limited_deluxe_(cd%2bdvd)-22989155 (http://cdon.fi/musiikki/him/tears_on_tape_%E2%80%93_limited_deluxe_(cd%2bdvd)-22989155). Don't know if cdon is the cheapest or the easiest for UK and Germany but it works pretty well in the Scandivavian area...

Would it be easier for everyone to start a new thread about ordering and different versions, preferably by someone who has the energy to update the first post frequently...

Hello!
Unfortunately we aren’t selling the bundles to customers in the UK and Ireland because there is a company that received the rights to sell in that country, therefore we cannot. Sorry for the inconvenience. We have not been given the name of the company either but I have a feeling if you checked out some internet forums you might be able to find the name of the company with the rights to sell there!
Sorry again

To quote our buddy Ralph, "Niggas playing tricks on me!"

ALSO, ALL bundles containing the clear vinyl are SOLD OUT. I assume this means all 500 of them are gone, or pretty close to it. This means that the $100 ultimate bundle is sold out.
In addition, the HIM hardcover of Metal Hammer 243 is also sold out for the time being.

If anyone wants any of the bundles but can't get them because of the whole "another company owns the rights to sell there" bullshit, then let me know and we can set something up. Just a FYI, I'll require the money first and I'll order it then send it to you once I get it. Or, if trust is an issue, you buy it but use my address when ordering.

its strange that with all this news, the countless bundles available the tour dates, album is coming out next month. all this stuff is happening, the videos being filmed, 3 of them!

and still the site is just that password thing. it would of been easier if they had all the above news be on the website no? for all fans across multiple countries.

im guessing it will finally be up once they finish one of the videos, will probably premier there.

I couldn't stand the operating system, yes there were some nice things about it but so damn glitchy and even using double twist I did not like the way the media stuff was integrated. It's like they tried to out do the features of iPhone but did it half ass. If they could of made those features work as well and smooth as the iPhone does what it does could've really been great. But I love my iTunes and iTunes Match way too much had to go back. Wish Pple would free up ios a little bit though so you could download from the stock browser and import files into iTunes from your downloads then it would be perfect.

My S3 has been flawless since the day I got it. The wonderful thing about android is that it's open. So while the applications it came with (Not google's fault btw) may not fit your taste there are thousands of other apps on the play store to choose from and because of the openness apps are capable of so much. I, on the other hand, absolutely hate the atrocity that is iTunes... Such a shitty program and the fact the you're forced to use it for everything keeps me far away from any apple product. Because of iTunes you're locked in to needing it unless you want to start over.

Call me an Apple hater or an android fanboy, lol it don't matter... I know where my money goes when I spend it and all you're paying for when you buy apple is their marketing campaign and their hype.

You're getting something that shouldn't cost anywhere near the amount you paid. That isn't to say you're getting shitty stuff... But it is shitty when you consider how much you forked over for it.

You can spend 2500 for a macbook and I can spend just as much on an alien ware laptop (which I do own) and I guarantee i can do more on mine than that... And yes, that even on an Alienware where you're paying a premium for the name just like apple.

Or let's spend well over 3000 for a desktop and I'll spend less than half and have a slightly superior product.

the digipack its deluxe everywhere, it comes with an dvd, 7 tracks
i mean they call "deluxe" every place it sells, and it must have the desing its already seen in merchnow
merch now says 5 tracks live, but they dont give any name, must be the same 7 tracks already listed on other sites

emp gives an extra flag with the orders, that made it more intersting

vynil, in european sites its one only and doent says about it colors or more info, very expensive here

Metal hammer could be an jewelcase or cardsleeve edition even

Ville said during an interview that the Metal Hammer one is a digipack, and that, "that one is different than the jewelcase, which will come out later." Which leads me to believe the first pressing is going to be digipack no matter where you buy it.

i have to admit that i didnt listen the interviews, but euro sites already listed an normal and deluxe digipack version, but uk this time goes different, only release its with the magazine at the moment, and the bonus tracks are two
i hope its a digipack, because i already ordered that one and i wont need another one

I definitely don't want to miss out on two extra videos, but I also don't want to buy yet another version of the album right now until I know for sure that I need to if I want to get them. I still need to find out where I can get the cassette. I've already pre-ordered the limited edition version of the TOT single, but I assume there will be more versions of that as well, including a "regular" version. Same goes for the other two singles, except I've yet to find where I can pre-order those.

vinyl would be pointless because i dont have any vinyl player ,but i hope for MC cassette of ToT

btw all these bundles and versions are the same as when they were in Sire, or this is even more ...all about merchandise, i know they must earn some money but this is too much

I totally agree with you. And as a matter of fact I just cancelled my fanpack pre-order, I'll buy the jewel-case edition from EMP or RecordshopX.

Post by: Zhivago on March 18, 2013, 01:12:15 PM
Ville said during an interview that the Metal Hammer one is a digipack, and that, "that one is different than the jewelcase, which will come out later." Which leads me to believe the first pressing is going to be digipack no matter where you buy it.
I doubt it will be. I messaged the place that sells the bundles and they told me only the first 2000 orders get the digipak and everyone after that will get the regular cd.

Maybe the two extra videos is what will be on itunes in the US. Didn't Ville say something about a couple videos being released on itunes or something like that?

may be I Will Be The End Of You  harder version. Like they did with Shatter me with hope Sword of Democracy :P

Killing Loneliness US was alright, IMO.

Update: I checked out the videos I hadn't seen yet.

Bleed Well: Eh, but not too bad compared to the others.

Ode To Solitude: Looks like something that would be on one of those band home video montages from the 90's.

I hope the new video will actually have meaning, i don't like it when a band like HIM makes a performance video (IMO) because HIM's lyrics are really powerful, and they deserve an actual video based on the lyrics instead of a cheap studio performance. If it's a budget problem then fair enough.

The dude who commented on the video that the song sounds like The Outlaw Torn by Metallica was right. The main riffs do sound pretty similiar, expect Metallica's is slowed way down. Not a ripoff like he said, but kinda cool.

Tears on Tape with bonus "SHM-CD"...

http://www.amazon.com/TEARS-ON-TAPE-bonus-SHM-CD/dp/B00BS6WV4S/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1363754133&sr=8-12&keywords=tears+on+tape (http://www.amazon.com/TEARS-ON-TAPE-bonus-SHM-CD/dp/B00BS6WV4S/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1363754133&sr=8-12&keywords=tears+on+tape)

According to cdjapan:

The high quality SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) format features enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic. Using a process developed by JVC and Universal Music Japan discovered through the joint companies' research into LCD display manufacturing, SHM-CDs feature improved transparency on the data side of the disc, allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser head. SHM-CD format CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players.

Guys it's a gimmick... don't buy into that bullshit. Only way to increase audio quality is to improve the audio/file itself. CDs can only hold so much data and unless they actually used more data than the original CDs then there's no difference. Can't really increase the size available on a CD without breaking compatibility with CD drives either.

The ONLY thing I can see being beneficial about that CD is that it may be a lot more durable... that's it.

It's not so much the record company, as, the record companies, not working together. This is what happens when you are on multiple labels. Remember though, we hated it when one label ruled the roost and showed favoritism in certain areas and didn't know how to market in others. With a band as unique as HIM we can't have our cake and eat it too. As much as I'd like that. I like cake.

Nah, this doesn't have anything to do with how they're handling the band as far as promotion/tours/releases and things like that go. This is behind the scenes stuff. Nothing big, just something that pissed me off. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they have someone signed up here watching over this board, though.

the fan pack seems to be the fewest with only 2 songs and its not even confirmed if its a DVD video.

The Universal releases over in Germany/Finland have the 7 videos. You can order them at amazon.de or recordshopx.com.
I really could care less about having all 7 tracks...as it's just studio live recordings of older songs. I like 'em, yes, but it's not like "oh fuck 7 brand new songs!"

The Fanpack is worth it for the magazine alone. I don't know why I keep seeing people wanting to cancel their pre-order of it. Even if it doesn't contain the "definitive" version of the album, it's still a pretty good deal in my opinion.

The cassette was never announced. Ville and Mige just said in an interview that it would be a cool idea.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on March 21, 2013, 02:13:55 PM
I wish they had a cassette. That would be cool as shit. They should've included one in one of the packages. Ties in with the whole tape thing, obviously. There probably aren't enough people that care, though.

I agree, I really want the new album but i also really want to read the magazine. I think it will be interesting to find out what the guys have been doing since screamworks. The description also said that HIM will be interviewing their favourite rockstars which will be interesting :)

I just broke up with my GF, so I'm really looking forward to the album now. W.L.S.T.D. is my favorite preview. We got together right before Screamworks. I'm digging the album now. I love Disarm Me even more.

Yeah, my girlfriend left me for another guy (who was flirting with her for most of our relationship) about 4 months ago. Can't wait to hear the full version of Hearts At War!

Also, I reckon you could probably rip it to tape and keep that as a copy, just for the cool factor

Jay and I have both heard the album. It's god awful.  ;)
Metal Hammer's review is going to be a super glowing dick sucking affair. However, I still look forward to reading it. The hardcovers should ship soon, if they haven't already.
The hardcovers are once again available for order. Or you can order the standard edition, but why would you do that???

Don't feel like going through the hassle to post the pics and links because in on my phone, but they're revealing the album at finnvox to the label and such so maybe some copies will drift around. Check out Team Heartagram and finnvox on fb. Maybe someone can post the pics and such

If someone can translate would be awesome.
EDIT: I try to translate from google translate.

Quote
Teollisuusperiferiassa hiding in Helsinki, Finland's most legendary recording studio Finnvox received on Friday, 22 paint the moon actions HIM's published in April Tears On Tape album pre-listening arena.

Navigator informs be aware of, is forced to check one more time. This is where you, peranautokorjaamoiden and ranenröörijakarhupumppujen in the middle of a six-decade recorded as Nightwish , Ultra Bra , Deep Blue Somerjoki albums?

Entering into the inside and walked past dozens of kulta-/platinalevytaulujen against talsii Paris Hilton -frontman of Arto Tuunela , which is Finnvox äänitys-/miksaushenkilökuntaan. HIM's manager Seppo Vesterinen runs a busy corridors of cell phone ear oloisena and the band (with the exception of Ville ) sitting on any other guy Finnvox pause sofas. Pursuilee beer fridge, sidukkaa, booze, sparkling wine and viinitonkkia in both colors. The first thing to arrive at the journalists are invited to fill glasses and enjoy the cuisine.

Three countries Ville arrives and suppliers are controlled Finnvox spacious B-studio.

- In the front row is not dared anyone. Hey, where's the fat?, Ville with her ??eyes searching the band's drummer gas .

Gas keeps calling out the back row of his friends liked the place, but it will go nicely light headed the group over to the front row. Universal's representative praised Tears On Tape album from the heavens, listening can begin.

- Skåål and kikkeliskokkelis!, Screaming HIM-singer of their new album early in honor of listening to and away from the desk.

- I've heard the album a few times. Stretching a listen, rising red cheeks man jokes goes.

The record is really impossible to give one criticism of listening. Yes, it sounds like HIMiltä, ??can be found in doom, Black Sabbath , Type O Negative , a bit of 70's glamia, a little tiny bit of psychedelia and also Dingoa . Melodic, atmospheric and familiar. Many of the songs start from a very different world than the end, a song may initially sound like a children's nursery rhymes and end with heavy-doom-cadence. Atmosphere is international, but in some inexplicable really Finns. I am thinking of running an icy mountain scenery on the lake in the snow rämpien toward the warm hut with HIM to call. Apparently, the other listeners live disc in his own world, as many people have their eyes closed.

The disc was listening to the seven semi -familiar with the program Marja Hintikka . There will exist Hintikka's view, the first disc is the atmosphere.

- Are your favorite songs When Love Starts to Die and Into the Night . They spring from the Millennium pre tags. This has me a little fan of this kind of meeting. I remember very well when their first album came out, and the band has been to me relevant. A special feature is the fact that I have never interviewed Ville light, even though almost all other domestic artists I am. It's a bit like me as editor of Mount Everest, Hintikka jokes.

Many of the on-site describe the album difficult to digest one of the hearing. YleX Ile New Mountain is one of these.

- The disc is made with a heavy hand, and does not woo anyone. Not all of this would probably have to rely on the masses. Yes I liked very much. I'm a bit confused, which is only a good thing. It was completed HIM, but a step in a direction was taken. Only requires more listening, New Mountain says.

Difficult for yourself to keep the opening of a good thing.

- I've never heard the album, which would have sounded fantastic first met with a. It will have to listen to a few times, remember that a little what it is about. However, there is a lot of information, words, melodies and kitarariffeja. In general, such songs, which I did the same bump, also wear out the same I did. But in the stomach, but I try to excuse myself desperately, light chuckles.

Sibelius Finnish rock dubbed a man seen as a key, the disc does not sound mediocre. Journalists and critics' attitude towards the plate can also be affected by many factors.

- It's Friday, the sun is shining, there's a little air and tenuu sallaattia. Yes, it all seems. In fact I want to hear for myself the important orchestras to music alone. It is important for being able to close your eyes and go to the world of music. This is a most extraordinary state that we are together in the same space, a bit like the church, light laughs.

HIM's eighth studio album, Tears On Tape appears in Finland 26 April. HIM rotate between April and June in Europe and the United States. The next time the band is seen in Finland on July 6, day Ruisrock and July 27 day of Oulu Qstock.

YleX report from of Tears On Tape listening party at Finnvox on March 22nd.

Entering into the building and walking past dozens of gold/platinum records hanged against the wall. HIM's manager Seppo Vesterinen runs busy in corridors with cell phone to his ear with the band (with the exception of Ville) sitting on Finnvox famous sofas. Mini fridge is full with beer, sidukkaa, spirits, sparkling wine and vitamin water in all colors. The first to arrive journalists are invited to fill glasses and enjoy the snacks.
Three moments later Ville arrives and everyone are ushered to Finnvox spacious B-studio.

"No one is daring to sit in the front row. Hey, where's the fatman?", Ville with his eyes searches the band's drummer Gas.

Gas keeps calling out from the back row with some friends. Valo heads with the group over to the front row. Universal's representatives praised Tears On Tape album listening can begin.

"Sk??l and kikkeliskokkelis!", shouts HIM-singer of their new album early before listening starts and walks away from the desk. "I've heard the album a few times". Valo jokes staring the music with rising red cheeks.

The record is really impossible to give one criticism of listening. Yes, it sounds like HIM; you can hear doom, Black Sabbath, Type O Negative, a bit of 70's glam, a little tiny bit of psychedelia and also Dingoa. Melodic, atmospheric and familiar. Many of the songs start with a very different tone than the end, a song may initially sound like a children's nursery rhymes and end with heavy-doom-cadence. Atmosphere is buzzing, some listeners entered their own worlds, as many people have their eyes closed.

"My favorite songs are When Love Starts to Die and Into the Night. They spring from the Millennium pre tags. This reminds me of our first meeting. I remember very well when their first album came out, and the band has been to me very relevant. A special feature is the fact that I have never interviewed Ville Valo, even though almost all other domestic artists I had. It's a bit like me as editor of Mount Everest", Hintikka jokes.

Many on the spot describe the album as difficult to digest(?) after the first hearing.

"The disc is made with a heavy hand and does not disappoint anyone. Yes, I liked it very much, it made me a bit confused, which is only a good thing. It was ultimate HIM, but a step in a new direction was taken. It requires to be listened again", New Mountain says.

Difficult for yourself to keep the opening a good thing.
"I've never heard an album, which would have sounded fantastic after the first listening. It will have to be listened to a few times, remember what it is about. However, there is a lot of information, words, melodies and harmony. I try to excuse myself desperately here", Valo chuckles.

Journalists and critics' attitude towards the album can also be affected by many factors.
"It's Friday, the sun is shining, there's a little chill in the air. Yes, it all seems good. In fact I want to hear for myself the important orchestras to music alone. It is important for being able to close your eyes and go into the world of music. This is most extraordinary thing that we are together in the same space, a bit like the church", Valo laughs.

I like the TOT single cover, and in my own opinion i think it should be the background of the actual album. The album art has a really simple (again, IMO) basic background, so i think they should merge the snake and heartagram with the TOT single background and use that as the album art.

According to this we get 5 digital downloads...I'm guessing the remainder of the Finnvox session.

I don't understand this... it says it's a hardback magazine but has video content.   Is there a dvd with it?


and i guess valo will be on the cover for may's metal hammer.

This is an exclusive, hardback edition of Metal Hammer's historic, world-exclusive HIM cover-story, featuring the band's own tour of their hometown of Helsinki.

How could they feature this in an article.   When have you ever read a tour?

Your right... i wasn't thinking of the behind the scenes look and tour of finland being pictures.   my bad

I wonder if they will have both in the US... i've seen metal hammer alot of places but idk if the hardback will be at barnes and noble or something.   I'm gonna wait and see until i order it from overseas.

i was thinking this would be a sick tattoo to get on my elbow... except it would be filled in black.   yay or nay?


Some people might think it is a Metallica tattoo if it was just the snake. Or maybe only i would think that. Only if i never heard if him.


this would be sick... if i couldnt fit the text tears on tape it would still be cool.   I would want the snake black.   Can any talented photoshoppers take a stab?   paint has it's limits lol

i guess this puts a better perspective.   damn i dread getting my elbow done but it needs to be done eventually.  the skull would be bigger and i may or may not get the tears on tape text.   what you think?

Hang on, let me get a ghetto shop done for you real quick.

If I was home, I'd help you out... honestly the best way is to start from scratch using better samples and trying to make it look similar. I'm afraid the graininess of the skull is just going to make it look bad.

yeah i think so... it is the skull on the back of the album and the bundle poster.   it looks much better than mine jay.  I'm gonna go prob within a week a or two so ill see if theres anyting better to give the artist to draw/trace.

i think i do like the 2nd one better... plus the skull can be bigger for more detail

Post by: lovemetal626 on March 28, 2013, 01:11:40 AM
i have a feeling we will get a DVD later down the line, pretty much all the finnvox videos and other stuff they didnt give in these bundles.

remember the strange world video was live at finnvox too. and thats no were to be seen on these extras. they probably recorded a ton of other songs, maybe even some demo tears on tape songs.

im pretty sure they will release a DVD of the entire session.

i think ill be cancelling the fanpack edition. it doesnt seem that great. id rather get a hoodie and poster with the CD.

Here's the news:

"HOT NEWS !! The Metal Hammer Fanpack will now have 7 live tracks from the Finnvox Studio session !!
As well as Buried Alive By Love & The Kiss of Dawn on the CD you will also be able to download using a link in the pack :-
Wings Of A Butterfly, The Funeral Of Hearts, Heartkiller, Join Me In Death and When Love and Death Embrace.
The Fanpack is available Worldwide !!!"

Ok. Figured that out yesterday. Thanks.

This is some bullshit. I wanna write a letter to my congressman. Or whoever. They really need to get a grip on unintentional leaks by business partners if they want "news" like this to mean something.

Their marketing department sucks terribly.  With social media being what it is, you'd figure they'd be able to utilize it to their advantage.  They have no clue.  My guess is that a video comes out next week, with the 5th being the release date for the first single, right?

The Single release is the next big mystery our there.

While Universal and other sites still say it will be released on the 5th, most of the shops are listing it for the 12th and i mean every shop who is listing the Tears On Tape Single so far.

It's always the same somehow even after they got new labels and all that crazy stuff :D

Post by: Daedalus on March 29, 2013, 11:52:35 PM
I like that the label and press is making the album into a way bigger deal than Venus Doom or Screamworks. It reminds me of the hype for Dark Light. Perhaps this will be a second coming of the supposed "this is the one that makes us REALLY big"?
To that end, I've gotten two people who like totally different types of music into HIM this past week. One of them I played "Into The Night" first, and she was blown away. She was expecting something really gothic and heavy and was pleasantly surprised at what she got. I played her the other two ToT songs we have and she was sold.

Post by: lioneyejr on March 30, 2013, 01:19:45 AM
I kinda think Screamworks was, how do I put this; "louder", when it was released. It had more promotion as I can remember and Ville said a lot more about it. Screamwoks is, to me, their "let's hit gold again" album, specially because of Squire. With this one it's more like "ah, yeah. We got a new record, we like it, etc." and that WORKS for te in my opinion. Maybe it's just the fact that the album was recorded around winter time. Their best work was done during winters (recently).
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Gannicus on March 30, 2013, 07:34:09 AM
Tears on Tape was recorder around September - Early november, so it's autumn and not winter, but the sceneary can change a lot of things in the music.

I'm believe for sure that TOT will be in my TOP 3 of HIM albums.

I was trying not to listen to anything other than IWBTEOY (live), TOT & ITN (radio edit) and all lips go blue but it's too tempting.   And after hearing these clips 1-9 i'm convinced we really do have a great record ahead of us.   It has potential to be my number 1 or 2 favorite album, along with love metal of course.   
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Daedalus on March 31, 2013, 03:03:07 PM
Based on what I've heard so far it's already surpassing Dark Light and Screamworks in my mind. I don't think it's going to be my favorite of all HIM albums, but it's going to be up there.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Gannicus on March 31, 2013, 03:33:23 PM
For me Love Metal and Venus Doom are the kings of my TOP, but nowadays I only listen to Sleepwalking, Passions and VD so TOT can be at the 2º place.

It doesn't need to be "old schooled or, metal to be a great album. I'm saying this for the poppy melodies on some chorus of TOT, 'cause there'll always be people saying "DOESNT SOUND LIKE RAZORBLADE, VILLE'S UGLY (?)", haha..

Anyhoo, bad jokes aside, in the middle of recording some Devilment drum tracks at the moment, which are sounding fab!

Matt eh? I bought 2 because I can open one...and sell the other!  (Yeah right), I still have a sealed Dark Light tin, and a sealed US Razorblade Romance with the Explicit Content logo, and a sealed HER Razorblade Romance.  For some reason I only bought one of the Venus Doom books.

I guess I planned on retiring early on these "investments" lol

I still have my sealed RR with the parental advisory. It was the very first HIM CD I bought, at a Virgin Megastore (remember those?) in Nov 2003, and through odd circumstances, never opened it. I'm glad I didn't. And yeah, I usually keep sealed copies of each album nowadays...wish I'd have done that with the Dark Light tin and Venus Doom book...
Weren't the VD books really fucking expensive? There must have been a reason why we only bought 1?

I tend to only keep singles sealed if I buy them like that.  Otherwise, all my other cds are opened.  For some reason I own a couple of copies of DSABH digipak edition.  They're opened so I have no clue why I have them haha.  I think I bought one off of eBay and the guy said it was the Christmas version but it was just the digipak and he said keep it.

And I weep for that dream in a grave, the one that made all lips go blue.

I should know all along the love without tears is just a story told to keep us hanging on. In the cold all alone, baby in fear I sing love without tears.

Love's screaming 'I will be the end of you', and I'm bleeding, don't stop now, come on and tear me apart, show me all you have got and I will be so free.

Tears on tape I will follow in to your heart sketching rain from afar. Tears on tape she surrenders needle in arm while we dance into the storm.

Into the night we ride, scars wide open, into the night, you and I torn and broken bleeding to the night.

Hearts at war drunk on dreams, of all that's been lost let them be, just let them.

There's no love, no love will be enough for what I'm feeling. No Love, no love will be the end of this dreaming of you.

Let's hold these hearts for one another, it's worked always, it must be, if I'm drawn and quartered it's only for you. Shall we hold back thoughts [...]

When love starts to die it begins with a kiss [...]

I don't think it'll be "singing". I think it'll be more like just humming melodies or just screaming out. Like hiss the void has that melody sung. it IS singing, just no lyrics.

In think in the pictures there'll be written the chorus of the songs.

In the cover there's Tears on Tape, on the skull there's All Lips Go Blue. So there will be a gallery of 12 pictures more or less.

I really don't understand keeping one music video for one region. Especially if they're not going to release them all at once. Just because I live in the states doesn't mean I'm not equally as excited to hear/see a new video from my favorite band. Ugh.

I don't think it's very exciting. But we get a way better audio quality. Maybe it is transmitting more when watching on a bigger screen, but I would have expected a more spiritual script instead of seeing random folks sketching these symbols everywhere.

I'm gonna go out on a whim here and say this is definitely part of the actual song. Listen to how professionally it's recorded. There has been absolutely no news of any of these tracks recorded acoustically for whatever reason, and we know their demos do NOT sound that polished and pro.

Japanese Edition   
No.   Title   Length   
14.   "Once In A Lover's Life (Demo)"     3:28
15.   "Wings of A Butterfly (Live In Studio)"     3:32
16.   "Bullet (The Misfits Cover)"     1:38

And in case some of you don't know... All these songs started acoustically as rough demos by Ville.

I don't like his covers OR his singing. His voice just sounds like he's trying his best to rip ville off, and he's not even doing THAT right. All he does is moans and groans really deep. There's more to ville than that. Way more. As for the music...i don't like his arrangents of the songs.

I finally saw the TOT video today, thanks to another HIM fan FB page. It was good to see a new video but i thought it was too basic. Just the guys sitting there in front of a screen, and a few shots of people tagging the streets. But like i said, it's nice to see a new video! :)

Love Without Tears is a field with satanic flowers.

Oh... I need oxygen while listening the bridge of Hearts At War.

The album is full of bells, there's this funny percussion in a lot of songs.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Levantine on April 07, 2013, 11:01:49 AM
After a quick listen:

Unleash The Red - 9
All Lips Go Blue - 8
Love Without Tears - 9.5
IWBTEOY - 10 (if this track was a guy, I'd go gay for it)
Tears On Tape - 10
Into The Night - 9.5
Hearts At War - 9.5
Trapped In Autumn - N/A
No Love - 7
Drawn & Quartered - 9.5
Lucifer's Chorale - N/A
WLSTD - 10
Kiss The Void - N/A

A very solid album!
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: dan24591 on April 07, 2013, 11:09:38 AM
Amazing album from start to finish. Definitely worth waiting this long for.

Love Without Tears, Hearts At War and No Love are my jams. Least favourite is Drawn & Quartered... massively boring song to me.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Gannicus on April 07, 2013, 11:17:55 AM
Hears At War and No Love have some parts that are pure gold.

Drawn & Quartered is beautiful yet too long. It deserves more listenings.

Kiss The Void is atmospheric as hell.

I Will Be The End Of You is 100000000 times better than the live version. That Super Mario Bros keyboard is fantastic!!!

And Love Without Tears is my song! My precious... GOLLUM! GOLLUM!

I gave this album a lot of shit in the past for being too short. Now that I've heard it, I can't think of a single flaw. I'm not going to say it's my favorite just yet, but I might have to crown it my number one after a few months and a few hundred more listens. It's fucking great, and not just because it's new.

Post by: 616 on April 07, 2013, 12:12:39 PM
i dont think this leak will cause a lot of harm to the label or band , because those who wanted to buy and still want to buy an album they will buy it anyway no matter if it leaked or not,
and those who simply dont buy original CDs will not buy it anyway, if it is leaked or not , you know what i mean? So those who decided not to buy it but download it (sooner or later) would download it anyway .... 
and after its released the whole internet (mostly youtube) will be filled with the songs from it

but the internet ruined it all.... that is true (sad true)

Honestly, I think No Love would be an even better single choice over Love Without Tears. It has that "kick-in-the-face" kind of punch about it that grabs you straight away.

Also, this has been one hell of a highly anticipated album for so long, so it makes sense it leaked as early as it did. That and R&T setting the release date so far away.

Are you kidding me? Love Metal probably had the greatest production of any HIM album ever. Those drums were absolutely PERFECT.

Does anyone else hear mige and burton singing with ville on drawn and quartered?   It is the harmonizing after 3:20 in the song.

It's really hard to pick my fav 3 because theyre all really extrodinary.   That's the same way with Love Metal for me so I put this album as my second favorite album in the rank the albums thread.

I also think it's really cool to hear WLADE and JM recorded with burton on keyboards... he's much better than zulton.

Yeah in terms of story telling and match logic, it doesn't make much sense.  But it suckers in the majority of fans so I can kinda understand that.  They did go overkill in the fake out finishes this year, but it still has an epic Mania feel so I can go with that.

I listened to ToT a couple of times, I must say it doesn't really convince me, but maybe I need some more time to let it grow on me. As of now, the song I like the best is W.L.S.T.D, quicly followed by Love Without Tears.

Listened a couple times through, and it's quickly growing on me. Favorite right now is "I Will Be The End of You", followed by a tie between "No Love" and "W.L.S.T.D."

I Will Be The End of You has been in my head all morning :)

Has anyone who's ordered the single on Amazon had theirs shipped yet? When I checked my order status the other day, it gave me an estimated delivery date of April 11th, but it didn't ship yet. Kinda wondering if the 11th is when they plan to send it out. I doubt I'll get it on that day, especially if it hasn't been shipped yet. Haven't checked yet today, though.

So many good songs. Feels very natural like it is the logical progression from Venus Doom. I liked Screamworks but felt it seemed a tad forced. I'm loving TOT though. I Will Be The End Of You is better than I could have previously imagined. Love it

After listening to the whole thing around 10 times now I think i can give my first proper rating to the album.

First of all I'm pleasantly surprised. A very very solid album. I love the rough sound and it is very well produced.

1.   "Unleash the Red"        -  9/10 .... I love the Intro and the second half of it was pretty surprising.
2.   "All Lips Go Blue"        -  9/10 .... Song has that demo feeling to me somehow and I love the way how Ville sings.
3.   "Love Without Tears"        -10/10 .... One of my favorites from the Album. Didn't expected the song turns out so cool.
4.   "I Will Be the End of You"     -10/10 .... Another perfect song to me. Reminds me a little of "I love You" from RR especially
                                                                           how the guitar sounds. Also it's really straight forward with a simple song structure but
                                                                           very well made. *_*
5.   "Tears on Tape"                   - 8/10 .... Listened to it too many times already but still i do like it a lot. Really melodic song.
                                                                         
6.   "Into the Night"                   - 7/10 .... The song i like the least. The beginning is great but it turns out way too poppy for me in
                                                                          many parts of the song. Still it's a track which puts a smile on your face and wants to
                                                                          make you dance in a crazy way ^_^.
7.   "Hearts at War"                     - 9/10 .... Great song .... Great riffs... nice melody..... I love that one.
8.   "Trapped in Autumn"       -??/?? ..... Dunno it makes what it should i guess letting you breath and creating a nice atmosphere.
9.   "No Love"                     - 9/10 ..... The song I anticipated the most and it didn't disappointed me. Very catchy and nice riffs
                                                                          and I love the part when that cool synthy sound plays along with the guitar. :)
10.   "Drawn & Quartered"       - 8/10 .... I love that song ... But still some parts of it i don't like that much but overall this song does
                                                                         have something magical i can't describe in words.
11.   "Lucifer's Chorale"       -??/?? .... Ok i quit on this one. :D Buuuuttt it's creating a proper atmosphere for the next song.
12.   "W.L.S.T.D."                     -10/10.... I'm just in love with that song. Gloomy, rough,excellent vocals,awesome  pace. *_*
13.   "Kiss the Void"                     -10/10....Excellent outro. This song is just cool. Really relaxing and a perfect conclusion.

That was much too long but i wanted too share my thoughts :D

I didn't dislike Screamworks...as a whole I liked it better than Dark Light, although the songs I liked off Dark Light I liked more than the ones off Screamworks, if that makes any sense. So far TOT is up there with Venus Doom and Love Metal for me.

I don't wanna go saying where I rank it yet, because back in 2005 I posted here saying how fucking great Dark Light was after I first heard it. I don't regret much, but I regret that. I'm gonna give it a few weeks to let the newness wear off and be more subjective.

I second that Jay. Under the Rose  is one of my faves. And behind the crimson door , along with vampire heart and play dead, i enjoyed those. But anyway, love the production of this album. Can't wait to hear the vinyls...all five so far, lol

P.s. I wonder why this still has an October release when its the same one The End is releasin in May..its cheaper on Amazon but I don't want to wait 5 extra months Lol i thought they would.change the date by now http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009A9EX28?qid=1365013162&sr=8-3 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009A9EX28?qid=1365013162&sr=8-3)

I've listened to this more than a few times now and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed...

First of all those instrumentals, what the fuck? They don't bring anything to the album, just excess and random noise. I would have been cool with just the intro and outro but Trapped in Autumn and Lucifer's Chorale are just boring and cut the flow of the album.

I like the first part of the album (songs 1-7), or atleast it's ok, except TOT which is a bit lame. The second half is just not that interesting which is why I feel it's not that good of an album.

But what I really wonder is how short it is and how it's lyrically probably Ville's poorest effort. They were on a break for how long, two years? And we only got 9 new songs plus a few minutes of noises. One would assume that he had time to write a bit more songs and concentrate on the lyrics, but that's just me.

Just my two cents, seems that you guys like so I guess I just have give it some more time.  :)

I think it's because the last 3 HIM albums have jumped a little bit, meaning that Venus Doom was dark and eerie, Screamworks was a completely new sound for HIM and now they've gone back down to their darker side. It's your opinion,fair enough,but maybe the album might grow on you the more you listen to it.

Sadly, I couldn't agree more. Most tracks are "ok". Decent enough attempt. Seems like the band AND Ville are just going through the motions. It's a far fucking cry from Love Metal. The lyrics seem convoluted and the subject matter really doesn't seem to change through the tracks very much. (Maybe the way it's presented, even?). The first time I heard "LIPS" I was really worried this album wouldn't really feature burton much. I was right. What a disappointment, and Linde, WHERE are the solos? Seriously. ugh.

I give it a 7/10.

It's not horrible to listen to, it has it's fun moments. I find myself singing along, and bobbing my head. But it's not the whole package I was expecting HIM to deliver after such a long hiatus. 
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Daedalus on April 09, 2013, 08:07:37 AM
And I'm the exact opposite. I feel that after being away for a while this is exactly the album they should be releasing. Do I miss Linde's solos all over the place? Sure, but they would feel out of place on some of these tracks. Am I a big fan of "Trapped in Autumn" and "Lucifers Chorale"? No, but I'm ok with them as outros to the previous tracks. When taken that way, they are absolutely fine....Ville said he really wanted 13 tracks, so I would suppose they broke these off on their own for that purpose.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: 616 on April 09, 2013, 08:24:59 AM
to the solos - listen to the first album Greatest lovesong vol 666 and count the solos.... Listen to the Razorblade Romance without bonus live studio tracks (sigillum diaboli and The 9th Circle) and count the solos. + wicked game is not even a HIM song but only a Chris Isaac´s cover.  and now count the solos in ToT .....
I dont like the instrumental songs too, but Trapped in Autumn is nice ambient song and it is well placed in the tracklist of the album, Kiss the void is amazing outro. Lucifers Chorale is the only song that i really dont like at all.
of course we all have different feelings, but i think they really made some album that i love after many many years and there is no bad song on it that you can really tell that yeah this song sucks or can you?
and i dont know why but i can hear a lot of Deep Shadows and Razorblade Romance vibe in it, All Lips and WLSTD is more like Venus Doom, Drawn and Quartered is like Screamworks, but the other songs are pretty mixed and i hear and feel a lot of the old albums in it
for example - Hearts At War is like Razorblade Romance song, it reminds me Resurrection in the choruses but it reminds me Love Metal in verses (the funeral of hearts a little bit)
or Love Without Tears has Razorblade romance vibe + something from Deep Shadows
Into The Night is the only song that seems to be more "poppy" on the album, and i cant even imagine how Ville will sing it live  ;D

I wish Linde had solos on nearly every track again. Love Metal had his best solos ever (especially This Fortress Of Tears). And I wish Burton had more keyboard hooks in the same vain as The Sacrament, Heartache Every Moment, Beyond Redemption etc.

Overall, I love this album. I just can't listen to Drawn & Quartered. Biggest throwaway track on the album for me, personally.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape

I agree with whoever said these are Ville's weakest lyrics to date. And I also agree with Linde and Burton being underused.

To each his own, D&Q is my favorite track on the album and the lyrics are good in all the songs... They may lack is some quantity in comparison to other songs, but the quality is there in my opinion.

We can at least be thankful that they haven't made a "Some Kind of Monster" documentary that requires them to get a therapist involved in the album making process.  :)

I really like Unleash the Red, but I wish it would have been fleshed out a bit more.  I love that riff when it really kicks in, and then it just stops.  Maybe it'll be a live jam of sorts on the tour.  The other instrumentals I could do without.

Agree they should have made that an instrumental song with a guitar solo and stuff would've been really cool. Ps I think I pissed that guy off over at empire/werrockstar they were complaining about not enough likes on Facebook sort of and I saidayve post a few teasers of the him site and you'll probably get a lot and he replies with this haha..I was trying to be helpful though.

My only problem with the album varies on a track to track basis.  The vocals/mixing is inconsistent and it throws off the whole album.  Drawn and Quartered is a mess of a song....  I do enjoy Into the Night, Love Without Tears, WLSTD, and Hearts at War though.....

The Intro is really the only cool (and needed) instrumental....

Still a good album though for sure....

Drawn and Quartered is a bit more complex than what we're used to hearing from HIM, but I could love it based on the lyrics alone! I think someone posted earlier about the harmonising at 2:51 and 4:39, never heard that before to this extent on a HIM song! (Why won't you go on and ruuuuuuuuuun with them. Ruuuuuuuun awaaaaay :'()

Overall the song is probably something like what Screamworks would have sounded like if not for that big label involvement

I enjoyed reading all reviews and want to give my five cents as well. probably I'm saying the same thing with every new realease...I don't think you do any good trying to compare and rank albums. it's again that golden HIM sound that I love and at the same time something new. In it's whole I really enjoy it from start to end...and that's how I like to see it - as a simple piece of art that the guys did this way by intention. That's why you as the listener will only lose if you have specific expectations such as a certain number of tracks, a certain overall duration, more solos, more poetic language and so on. By the way I don't think a lack of solos would leave Linde or Burton unfulfilled - I'd imagine they both enjoy that album a lot - and it's about the sound of the band not individual interests. Also I hear some of the most amazing riffs, keyboards and vocals in this album that HIM ever did. :) Hope that those who might be a little disappointed or were expecting something different get more into it with a couple more listenings.

My favorites are W.L.S.T.D. (I just love Villes deep voice) , then Love Without Tears (love at first hearing) and No Love (mainly part when Ville sings: We're the stars...). But I like other songs, too. Maybe one exception: Lucifer’s Chorale (it tears my ears).

Remember, Venus Doom was only 9 songs. Granted, sleepwalking was an epic long song but on the other hand song our suicide was extremely short. I too would've been okay with an intro and Outro and two more songs. But I do like the album overall and look forward to the tour.

Does Love Without Tears remind anyone else of Pretending?

Totally hear where you are coming from on that. There is another song somewhere on the album that had very DSBH keyboards to it.

_____________

I just listened to the ToT for the first time. Eyes closed, shades drawn, music up. Really nice album beginning to end. Nothing I heard made me cringe and want to get off the sofa to skip to the next track. I still have a million more times to listen to really dissect it.

I do agree with someone a few pages back that Ville's lyrics do get drowned out at times. But overall production is really nice.

After first listen, the biggest impression for me was Ville's voice for the first minute or so of W.L.S.T.D. It sounded like he was right there in my living room. Almost as much Our Diabolikal Rapture when they push Ville's voice completely to the right side.

All the best,

A very happy HIM fan

I just finished listening, and I enjoyed every track on the album too. I began with "I will be the end of you" because it is the track that i've been looking forward to most. And while i was listening to it i actually started getting emotional, i was incredibly happy. The album is definitely an improvement after screamworks (Screamworks was good but not my favourite album) and overall i'm just happy that we have another excellent piece of art to add to the HIM collection.

I Will be the End of You is interesting because it is one of the few HIM songs that has a different musical formula during the verse.  Not the same Gas drum beat and Linde Power Strings.  That's what I appreciate about it.

-- Love without Tears is definitely the stand out after another day of listening to it.  They should have brought the awesome Classic Rock guitar solo to the forefront of the mixing during the breakdown

-- WLSTD sounds like classic GLSV666 (Guitar sounds like they lifted it directly off of cut tracks from Venus Doom)... Simple, Powerful, and Dark.... I love it...

I love how everyone here "knows their music" and "loves black sabbath" etc, yet you don't appreciate Lucifer's Chorale? That "song" is fucking genious, noises and all. And to the people saying the instrumentals cut the flow of the album; what the fuck are you people talking about? They're perfect transitions between songs. I know we can't all agree on the same opinion, but wtf?
It's HIM. Be happy Gas healed and they recorded something. And here's hoping this album gets a proper recognition so we get more albums in the future.

not just with the instrumentals, but if you apply gapless playback through itunes, a lot of the songs transition perfectly between one another.

to the instrumental naysayers. HIM has done instrumentals before. They just put them at the end of a track instead of making a new one

I don't mind the instrumentals as much after listening to the album. My main problem with them was when we found out there were 4 of them. The album's already short enough as it is, so it was a bit disappointing to find out that 4 of the songs were not even really "songs." They are, but you know what I mean. That being said, they don't bother me as much now. I think Unleash The Red is cool, and it's an interesting and actually great way to start the album. I've listened to the others, of course, but I didn't think they were anything necessarily special and I don't go back and revisit them ever. Once was pretty much enough. Basically, I don't have a problem with them now, but I still think it sucks we were led to believe there would be more full-fledged songs than what we got. The material makes up for that and the fact that the album is shorter than usual, but I could still live without them. I would've been bitching either way, whether we got 13 songs with 4 of them instrumentals, or 9 "full" songs. The album is fucking great, though, and that's all that really matters. Not including the instrumentals, there's not a bad song on it. They did an excellent job. Well worth the wait.

Upon a few more days of constant listening I have concluded that I love this album. Maybe I was initially let down because it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. Aside from the 2 instrumentals at the end of the album, I can't skip any of the tracks. So good.

And as another member mentioned, I'm so happy Gas recovered.

It's an amazing album. I even don't remember already what I was hoping to hear :) but I really like what I hear right now. It's good that Ville trying to sing in varied ways. I think in this album he holds back his voice a little, I'm sure in live concerts it'll be sound more powerful (I hope to see them in June at Maxidrom). But I like his singing here, so sweet, so rrromantic  :)(like Ville said) at times.
And about lyrics. Ville wanted to keep it as simple, as possible, without mystical hidden messages and yet I am sure lyrics not as simple as they seem at first glance. Lyrics in Screamworks was too complex, and encrypted for some) And something tells me that this album is dedicated to the same special person...
Definitely, Love Without Tears should be a single, perfect song to present HIM's sound, beautiful tune.  Or Hearts at War, I can't choose) they're all good.
My hearts stops at "That's right" in W.L.S.T.D, unreal feelings...

Post by: Vpr616 on April 12, 2013, 11:31:59 AM
I'm after my first listen... This album is essentially what Screamworks should be like. Similar vibe, but better sound and some really good riffs. Still nowhere near the quality of Venus Doom though. Some songs seem a bit repetitive. My biggest disappointment of the album would be... Into The Night and Hearts At War - all in all pretty good stuff, but the opening riffs promise so much more! Into The Night especially - incredible, Sabbath-meet-Turbonegro opening, then a little bit of Venus Doom and... then it fades away. Shame.
WLSTD on another hand... It's not even VD-like, it's more GLS-esque. If Ville's vocals were a little bit harsher throughout the whole song, it'd fit right into GLS666.
My other favorites are All Lips Go Blue (catchy as hell) and I Will Be The End Of You. If not for Ville's voice, I Will Be... could easily be mistaken for a Charon song.

Listened a few more times today. It's now sounding like a less-poppy Dark Light. Not in a bad way, but the song structure and vocals sound the same as many of the songs on that album. To me, it sounds like it was recorded in 2006, right in between Dark Light and Venus Doom. The distortion Linde is using sounds like it's from VD, and the keyboards and vocals sound like they're from Dark Light.

Anyone else agree or am I crazy?

I agree with you on the resemblance to Dark Light, but Linde's tone is more fuzzy than Venus Doom, like GLS666 or RR but with a different fuzz unit. Back then he used the Octafuzz I think, I saw his fuzz unit in the Finnvox Studio Tour video and it wasn't an Octafuzz, sounds different too. Though I prefer the Octafuzz :P

Venus Doom didn't have much fuzz, it was more amp gain than anything

Now that you say it, I agree on the fuzz sounding different than VD. However, I don't think it sounds like GLS or RR. It sounds like a totally different pedal, like you said.

Do you have a link for that Finnvox Studio tour video that you mentioned?
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Daedalus on April 12, 2013, 10:37:55 PM
My track by track review that I've been working on for a few days:

HIM is back from a 3 year sabbatical with “Tears On Tape”, a highly anticipated album. This time, they recorded the album on their own dime without any record label association. HIM has had the backing of a major label since their inception, would this prove to be a fatal flaw?

The album opens with “Unleash The Red”, an instrumental track. We open with the sounds of a tape being inserted into a tape deck followed by what can best be described as the sort of thing you’d hear in a Dario Argento film. Melodic, dark and brooding, this minute long track leads us directly into the first song proper, “All Lips Go Blue”.

“All Lips Go Blue” is the first single in both the U.S. and U.K. and is a fitting track. The opening guitars have a satisfying crunch that continues throughout the heavy parts of the song. Verses and choruses will remind longtime HIM fans of “Right Here In My Arms”. This is how that song would sound if Ville first recorded it in 2013 opposed to 1999. This song is a great example of the yin/yang of HIM that Ville Valo always preaches. You get a nice blend of the pop side of doom, along with the gothic, dark side. I’m not sure that this was the best track for the U.S., but I will cover that in a bit.

Up next is “Love Without Tears”. As soon as I saw all of the song titles, I figured this was one I would be fond of, and thankfully now that I’ve heard it, it’s one of my favorites on the album.  The track starts with an unrelenting guitar and breaks into one of the most layered HIM sounds I’ve ever heard. The subtle harmonizing vocals just make it for me. The music sounds like a more matured “Pretending”, with drums, bass, guitar, acoustic guitar and tambourine all coming together like peanut butter and chocolate with Ville’s sweet vocals. At about 2:15 we go into a very brief acoustic portion and then to a unique guitar solo that reminds me of a folk-rock band from the 70’s. It’s very well done.

The 4th track is “I Will Be The End Of You”, which was first played live at Helldone 2012 in Finland. I will admit, I wasn’t a huge fan of the live version, nor was I impressed with the initial 30 second preview I heard a while back. However, as I should know by now, do not judge a book by its cover. IWBTEOY is amazing lyrically. The basis of the song is that “love” is telling Ville that it will be his ending, and Ville is just like, “bring it, bitch.” Despite the slightly higher pitched vocals, this is a dirty, punky song. The music itself sounds like something that could have been on 1999’s “Razorblade Romance” and compliments the vocals wonderfully. One nitpick is that his vocals during the verses could be turned up slightly, but that’s a minor quibble.

“I Will Be The End Of You” transitions right into the title track, “Tears On Tape”. TOT may well be my favorite track off the album. Gorgeous piano and acoustic guitar punctuate the track, alongside some of the finest bass playing on the album. The only thing missing is a guitar solo, but it doesn’t detract from the song at all. In addition to being the title track in name, “Tears On Tape” lyrically explains the theme of the entire album. It’s the bands’ tribute to all of the blood, sweat and tears put onto “tape” by the music that inspires them.  Ville always goes on about how the band is influenced by anything from Roy Orbison to Black Sabbath and Metallica and on this album it’s finally, plainly, evident.

“Into The Night” is the first Finnish single, and to be honest, I wasn’t a big fan at first. This is the poppiest track on the album, very similar in sound to something you’d hear off “Dark Light”. This track again is one that very obviously shows off the band’s influences whilst still displaying the usual bit of “Scandinavian melancholy” they are known for. “Into The Night” does feature my favorite portion of the album, from about 2:15 till about 2:45, which is some of the best music the band has ever done. “Into The Night” was a track I played to someone who had never heard HIM before…this was her introduction to the band and she was caught off guard. She expected something darker, harder and perhaps with screaming. She liked the track, and now listens to the band on her own. I initially dismissed this as the single, but have come to realize that the intent is to gain new listeners, not necessarily make the old timers happy, and “Into The Night” manages to do both.

The pop side of HIM gives way to some rough guitars in “Hearts At War”.  This is a song that would fit right in on “Venus Doom”, with doomy atmosphere, pianos and gloomy lyrics. What I like most about this song is how much it surprised me. It’s little things, but the song ventures into different places that aren’t out of place for HIM, but seem out of place for this song. It’s fantastic, and it’s one of my favorites on the album.  After the song is “Trapped In Autumn” a minute and half long instrumental, which is really just an atmospheric outro to “Hearts At War”. Taken as such, it’s fine, but don’t expect a full fledged HIM track.

“No Love” begins with Ville walking into the studio and yelling “Forever and ever!” before some rockin’ guitars kick in. It’s out of place on first listening, but once you get to the end of the song you’ll understand. “No Love” reminds me of “Soul On Fire” musically. It’s a fast rocker with Ville’s crooning vocals slathered on top. At 2 minutes in we go to a breakdown that features some electronic noises, tambourines and a very 90’s sounding segment. Of course, being HIM, things come back full steam as a drum beat takes us back into the chorus. I didn’t expect to like this one based on the 30 second preview I heard, but it’s very, very good. A solid track from HIM.

“Drawn & Quartered” however, is a different story.  This is the typical ballad. It’s very lovely sounding, but I just can’t get into it. I think this is mainly because this is a prog-inspired track that never really feels like it’s going anywhere. It’s more of an exercise for Ville to see how long of a song he can write that doesn’t repeat back on itself. It reminds me of “Sleepwalking Past Hope” lite, just not as good. I like the last minute and a half of the track, but I’m relatively bored until that point.

From here we descend into hell. “Lucifer’s Chorale” is another transitional instrumental that drops us straight from the heavenly sounds of “Drawn & Quartered” into the depths of hell, preparing us for “W.L.S.T.D.”.  It’s mostly noise, but like “Trapped In Autumn”, works well as a transition.

“W.L.S.T.D.” is another heavy track, and would fit right at home on either “Venus Doom” or “Love Metal”.  It’s a very polished “Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666” track, and that’s not a bad thing. Heavy, slow, and deep vocals are the name of the game here.  I really enjoy the lyrics on this one, possibly moreso than anything else on the album. The simple verse of “When love starts to die, it begins with a kiss, violently soothing and warm. When love starts to die, so do I. “ gets me everytime. This song makes me want to rock out and cry at the same time. It’s the perfect example of HIM’s ying/yang approach.  “W.L.S.T.D.” would be the perfect album closer, but, there’s one more to go.

“Kiss The Void” is an instrumental outro to the entire album and it is amazing. This is a song that I would listen to on its own, unlike some of the other instrumentals on this album. I wish that Ville would have taken the melody from this and evolved it into a full track with vocals…maybe one day. “Kiss The Void” manages to sum up the whole album’s feeling into one track and, like most HIM albums, ends the album appropriately. 

So what do I think of “Tears On Tape”? It’s wonderful! HIM’s time away was a good thing for the music and being able to record the album first and then shop it around to labels was also a very good thing. This is really the first time that HIM has put out an album that truly sounds like what Ville Valo always says HIM albums sound like. Regardless of what my own thoughts on the album are, I will always hold it in high regard for that fact alone…Ville Valo finally made the album he wanted to make….and it’s fucking awesome. I would rank this highly among the other HIM albums and highly recommend it to the HIM faithful and newcomers alike.

Great review D, thanks for taking the time to write that.

Not that I didn't love the album from first listen but it keeps growing on me. I will say, D&Q is the only weak link. I'm already skipping over that one.

Something that I noticed and want other opinions; on the intro and I guess bridge of "I Will Be the End of You", does anyone else hear  extremely similar riff and tempo as "I Love You [White Hosue Vers]??


My other favorites are All Lips Go Blue (catchy as hell) and I Will Be The End Of You. If not for Ville's voice, I Will Be... could easily be mistaken for a Charon song.
Charon, I miss you  :'(
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Vpr616 on April 13, 2013, 05:34:22 AM

Charon, I miss you  :'(

Me too! And IWBTEOY made me miss them even more. It sounds so similar to Charon's The Cure! JP needs to re-unite Charon asap... or at least find himself a new band. Opening riff in Hearts At War sounds like something in-between Charon and Poisonblack too. A lot like Poisonblack on Of Rust And Bones actually.

IWBTEOY is probably the only song on Tears... I love from start to finish. No Love is a close 2nd at the moment.

Overall, I feel kinda like I'm not into modern-day Ville's vocals at all. Quite a few times throughout the album I find myself thinking "wow, this'd be kickass with a different vocalist".

Now that you say it, I agree on the fuzz sounding different than VD. However, I don't think it sounds like GLS or RR. It sounds like a totally different pedal, like you said.

Do you have a link for that Finnvox Studio tour video that you mentioned?

I'm starting to get annoyed with this hard cover metal hammer issue.  It came out what, about 2.5 weeks ago, and I still haven't received mine.  I've gotten a few packages from Japan and Germany and I live in New York so I see no reason for these to take more than 2 weeks to get here.  Guess I'm just getting impatient haha.  I don't want to even know how long the fan edition of the magazine is going to take to get here -_-

Let me just say that this album is the best thing they have done in a long time. It truley sounds back to their Finnish roots. It's like a mix of love metal, Venus doom, and the thusla doom songs. The intro is cool, but personally I find Trapped in autumn and lucifers chorale kinda of annoying and pointless?? Oh well. Amazing album. It has the modern production value, and complex song structures that the previous couple albums had showcased. At the same time, the songs have signature riffs, and lean more towards the bands older sound. Just wait and see!!

Here in England i just walked across the road (literally) to the newsagent and picked up my HIM issue haha.
And i ordered the fan pack on the day the pre-order option was available and i still don't even have an email confirming. The bank said that money has been taken from the publishers so if i don't get my issue i will be really pissed off.

Is there a specific reason they've been using His Infernal Majesty so much in Metal Hammer? It seems as.though they say it for everything during 243 "His Infernal Majesty's new album"  "His Infernal Majesty rehearsal studio". So odd to see that  much these days.

Ok, I previously said the album sucks balls. After a more than a few listens I definitely like the first part until Trapped in Autumn. Tears on Tape is still not doing it for me an even Into the Night sounds much better even if it is a bit of a disappointment after the intro. But from the second part I've grown into Drawn & Quartered, can't explain it but it's cool. "when W.L.S.T.D so do I" is bit cheesy but all in all an adequate piece.

I still don't appreciate this too much and Screamworks is way ahed on my listings. A solid album after all and HIM-guality for sure.

One more thing, negative I'm sorry... No one has spoken of the extra tracks, the Finnvox recordings? How about that Heartkiller and especially the last half of it? I can't fuckin' believe they put that on record. I'm sorry to put it out there but as a HIM fan myself I think I'm entitled.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: estrella on April 19, 2013, 05:15:51 PM
I actually prefer the Finnvox version more than the studio version.

Ok. I just can't take those "oehoeh"s. Fucking horrible shit.

And don't get me wrong I've bought all of the albums and seen a few gigs in my time. I wouldn't expect anyone to dismiss HIM here but c'mon, everything HIM does isn't fucking gold.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape

No. They are capable of producing a shit product.  You won't be castrated for expressing your opinion.  In a way I think it was kind of lazy to put out a live EP instead of something else.

Then again, their b-side remixes of songs are usually shit.

I see the Live in Hel. as a sign of new beginnings and a tribute to their fans as a token of appreciation for sticking with them through what was probably a shitty era for them (As far as record labels are concerned). It wasn't meant to promote or try the sell the band at all... There's a reason why it's only included in the "FAN" pack. And honestly... How many other bands can record something such as this live and sound as good? There are many bands whose singers sound great on the albums, but perform horribly live.

After a few more spins I still can't say I'm absolutely convinced by TOT, but have to admit I love all those little references to older albums and different bands. (Or maybe it's just me who hears all this weird stuff ;))
The solo part in Love Without Tears kicks off with a riff that really resembles Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and the way said solo finishes is a total rip-off of Sabbath's National Acrobat :D
W.L.S.T.D's intro sounds like something that could easily make Type O Negative's record.
I'm sure there's more of these, I'll just have to listen more carefully. (Already mentioned some of my Turbonegro-Sabbath impressions earlier, haven't I?)

This helps to prove that the lyrics aren't "I fill wells to the summer rain." It clearly shows him saying "fear". Now, other than that, he is also saying "My" which can be heard on the actual song if you listen closely. If it is "My", and not just a fuck-up on Ville's part, then the current "I fear we're lost to the summer rain" doesn't work and so it goes back to my very first guess when figuring out the lyrics... "My fear whittles to the summer rain"

It'll never come. But yes, the only way to get GLS, DSBH and Love Metal on vinyl is through this box set. There are 3 other Razorblade Romance pressings. Dark Light and Screamworks each had a US and UK press, and Tears On Tape is readily available. Venus Doom was the only album to not get a vinyl.

And for those keeping score, Heartagram still doesn't exist.

Fanpack and Newbury versions have shipped.  No clue about my MerchNow version, says "processing."

And I thought it'd be hot as hell in Texas this time of year, but nope.  We got a cold front last night.  Guess I can sport my hoodie.

I'm in Texas...I know several people who received their copies already. I'm pretty sure there's some kind of fuck up, and when I contact Future Publishing, all I get is a reply that says "it should arrive shortly". I guess I'll just have to wait and see :(

Got my CD/DVD, hoodie, and poster today. I'm glad I waited to listen to the album until I had the entire thing. The hoodie is very comfy; and I went with gray. Little bit of a shame the sleeves seem to be a little baggy in the forearm area, but I've already gotten one compliment on it thus far. I was very impressed with how MerchNow shipped the poster. Very sturdy cardboard tube, poster came out perfectly.

do you know what is happening? that guy have access to many magazines, some of them are signed, he pick the signed ones and sell them in ebay
the pics is probably from an ad poster to use in the shop that will sell some magazines with cds in uk, so if you go to the shop of that guy you wont find any of the signed because he already got them
it says 250 signed, but it is the magazine signed, they signed also 1000 postcards
In the other pic you can see that the release its an digipack

According to my tracking numbers, my Ultimate Bundle and US promo should both be here today. Would be kinda funny to get the promo on the same day I get the retail album. I'm probably more excited about having a couple of new shirts and a new hoodie to wear, though, haha.

Possibly even my autographed copy from Newbury Comics too. Still no shipping confirmation email for the Fanpack. I ordered that on February 15th. They better fuckin' send me it! Such a shitty place to order from, but obviously no other choice. They obviously weren't prepared for the amount of orders they were gonna get. They can't handle it. They should just stick to magazine subscriptions, and never do a special offer like this again.

Also i.agree with whoever said the hoodie was comfy. Its very soft haha, Love it. I too have no dispatch info on fanpack.. Or haven't gotten either of my hardcovers..that place...grrr they're on my naughty list now.

But they assured me that I would get a shipping confirmation within the next two days. You hear they assured me that and now 3 days after I didn't got shit :/.

I guess they just started to late on processing them and now they have some problems getting them all on the way. My brother living in the same city as I do got a shipping confirmation 4 days ago O.o
I don't understand the logic behind that.

There weren't that many. Remember, there were 2000 deluxe copies available...they only ran out of those about two weeks ago. Same goes for the vinyls, there were only 500 of each, plus the 500 of each of the new colors that arent' sold out or even shipping yet.

I'm very pleased with the album. All in all it sounds complete and of high value, something I missed in VD and Screamworks.

If it comes to criticizing I don't think that the interludes are necessary. "Unleash The Red" is a good intro for live performances which really builds up excitement, but on the album All Lips Go Blue is a good starter nevertheless. Love Without Tears is the song to get into an euphoric mood.

When I first heard the Helldone performances of I Will Be The End Of You I had a feeling that it ends up like Killing Loneliness, which was one of the first songs of Dark Light played live and switched that initial sound to a very very polished one on the album. And my doubts are partly vindicated, though the turn isn't bad. It kicked ass back then and now it's smoother, solid and has calmer vocals.

Tears On Tape instantly reminded me of Dark Light. Both title tracks, this one a bit heavier, a bit faster and not as shallow as DL. Into The Night is catchy as hell can be, on the same level as Love Without Tears.

Heart At War, No Love and WLSTD need some more air time to judge, "that's right"! Trapped In Autumn and expecially Lucifer's Chorale are not needed to pass on to the next track. I like the Drums in Kiss The Void and the outro sounds pleasantly unagitated, like something after the (love metal-) storm. In conclusion I would have dropped these 3 and just release the album with 9 tracks and the intro.

What is this Metal Hammer hardcover I've seen being posted about here? I haven't heard anything about a hardcover version of anything HIM related being released this year?

Could someone clarify this?

EDIT: Also, I received my Merchnow bundle yesterday afternoon.

I'm getting annoyed with the hard cover version of Metal Hammer.  It's been over a month and nothing.  Also, contacted the site which it was purchased from, the UK one and no response from them within a week.  About to call my credit card company and have them refund me.  Also, I live in Syracuse, NY which is only 1-2 hours from Albany so I'm surprised I haven't received my package yet.

Yeah that one and I read too that it would only take 7-10 business days, not a month.  I just received it today along with my package from merchnow.  Haven't popped open the vinyls yet but cd sounds great but instead of sending me a large hoodie like my shirts, they sent me a medium lol.  Sent an email to merchnow.  Anywho, pretty awesome walking out of the post office with huge packages looking like I have a problem with online shopping haha.

I know I'm not the only person with no clue about what's going on with their Fanpack, but it's bullshit.

I know, I never fixed them. But "My" is easily heard on my "higher quality" stuff.

I still think that part on Hearts at War is

"And I'm of rain
Don't leave darling"

All the live videos I've seen show him saying the afraid part again, but I think he's just being lazy and the actual song sounds nothing like that.

It could also be "Don't leave the rain" and the silent part is something like "It would mean two" or "It would be two" which carries on to the chorus "It would mean/be two Hearts at war".

Finally got my hardcover today..over a month later. But my fanpack order hasn't updated yet and i ordered the day the presale started. Now my friend who ordered a couple weeks after me, his says dispatched. So I gave in and called the good ol UK.  They said that "we are having problems in the warehouse and none have been sent out yet but don't worry, call back Thursday and we should have info for you" he said the same thing happened to a lot of hardcovers, they said dispatched but didn't ship until much later. Jerks. So idk how much of what he said is accurate, but it made sense to me because If my hardcover Shipped March 28 like it said and got here April 30..then that's bad. I've never waited for more than ten days for items from Overseas

I picked up on that. I suppose it has something to do with them completely owning the rights to the TOT recordings, as opposed to before where Sony/BMG or Warner owned the rights.

So btw. what's the deal with the Into The Night and All Lips Go Blue Video. They should have been released some time ago but it's the same dilemma as with the official page I guess. Universal did a great job so far released everything as it should be on time and did pretty good promotional job.

I don't now what the problem is with the other video's. But they certainly seem to have some problems to release them.

I'm disappointed by the booklet. Seriously, why only artwork? No lyrics, no nothing...meh. I'm glad I bought the version with the flag, which is really nice by the way.

Credits to ^ you can find some lyrics said by the man himself in this. For example he says in the first verse of tears on tape talking about thunder rolls around me about sabbath.

Ville said that they were going to but the artwork was really nice and then he discovered that the Beatles were the first band to put lyrics on sleeves, so he purposely left them out cos he doesn't like the Beatles.

Apparently the Japanese version has the lyrics on an insert with the CD.

I had to email them about mine. Took them forever to get back to me. My order status on the website says it was shipped on the 29th, but they said the 24th in an email. I'll consider myself lucky if I get it by the end of the month, or even at all. Saw they have it on the MerchNOW website now. No name on the poster or chance at a signed postcard, obviously, but a lot less hassle. I just wanna read the magazine.

2 Cream Lp
1 Clear LP
1 Blue LP
1 Green LP
2x Fanpacks
1 Finish Deluxe
1 Finnish Standard
1 Finnish LP
2x Japan

I still need to order a non-fanpack UK version, but those don't come out until May 27.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on May 08, 2013, 08:08:37 PM
I'll do my total too because I'm bored.

2 US Deluxe (one signed)
1 US Standard
1 Cream LP
1 Clear LP
1 Blue LP
1 Green LP
1 Fanpack
1 Finnish Deluxe

Also, if they count...

1 All Lips Go Blue UK Promo
1 US Advance Album Promo

I ended up cancelling my order from EMP with the flag. Too much work and money to have it shipped to the Dominican Republic and then here to me.

Thinking about getting the Japanese version. Let us know what it's like when you receive it, Daedalus.

Well, my friend who ordered his fanpack three weeks after i did (ordered mine like literally ten mins after it was put up) got his today..and made me jealous by tagging me in a picture on Facebook. The picture being my name on the poster.  I didn't know they put last names which is cool but weird. I WANT MINE.
This and my blue/green vinyls Are all I'm waiting for

But my totals:
2 deluxe digi (one signed)
2 standard US jewel (one signed)
1fanpack
1 Finnish deluxe
2 cream vinyls
2 clear vinyls
2 blue vinyls
2 green vinyls
2 Finnish vinyls
1 tears on tape 2 track lmtd single
2 Metal Hammer hardback issues
And 3 tears on tour tickets :(
I like vinyls heh. Only missing 3 from my collection now.

I haven't decided on the Japan one. What's that called again? Like the special kinda disc

It's a Super High Material Disc... Supposedly makes it easier for CD players to get an accurate read of the data. It also has all 7 Finnvox tracks on the disc as audio tracks, that's why I bought it. You can find them on eBay for around $35.

Cory, I bought a copy from here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIM-TEARS-ON-TAPE-JAPAN-SHM-CD-with-BONUS-TRACK-/271198913231?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item3f24b702cf (http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIM-TEARS-ON-TAPE-JAPAN-SHM-CD-with-BONUS-TRACK-/271198913231?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item3f24b702cf)
It came EXQUISITELY packed! CD was in a thick cardboard sleeve, with bubble wrap all around it, and then put inside an envelope. AND he provided an unused CD sleeve to store the thing in after it's opened! And I only did the cheap $3.00 shipping. Shipped out on May 2nd, according to the customs label and arrived today!

And I checked it out, the sound is IDENTICAL to every other version...I even did a WAV comparison and there's no difference at all. However, Kiss The Void runs 10 seconds longer...to provide a bit of a gap before the bonus tracks.

Thank you! Well, I was planning to order the fanpack today, but I was thinking of buying it on amazon.co.uk, because I think the whole process of shipping and delivery is faster than myfavouritemagazine, but I think the amazon one does not come with the bag nor the chance to have the signed card, so I'm still thinking haha

Yeah, you'll get it WAY faster with Amazon, probably a week-10 days depending on where you are. The fan packs took two-three weeks. The bag isn't anything special, but if you're concerned about getting the card...frankly, I wasn't in it for that either, it just worked out in my favor!

I emailed them and asked what's up, only because my order status on the website was still just showing the date that I originally pre-ordered it on, February 15th, and it was already a few days into May, so I was beginning to become worried about it. I wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem with my credit card or something, because there were no other details about it. Finally, they updated the status on the website to dispatched on April 29th. I later received an email back from them, after many more days of waiting, and they told me it was send on the 24th. I have no idea which one it actually was, but I still feel like I should've gotten it by now regardless.

How are you guys enjoying your Fanpacks? I'd be enjoying mine too, except it STILL hasn't gotten here yet. At this point, I'd rather just get a refund and re-order it somewhere else, especially since they're sending empty packages now apparently. Worst fucking company in the world. My name probably isn't even on the poster since my order is all fucked up.

I ordered a CD from fucking Japan on eBay and it got here in a week. There's no excuse a package from a legitimate company in the UK should take this long to get here.

My heaven is only in your heart, baby. And that's the way it's always been. :P

I wouldn't worry too much yet I'm from the UK and ordered the limited hardback edition of the story of tears on tape and it took 10 days from when it was dispatched to when i received it, this company seems to use the cheapest shipping option around.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on May 20, 2013, 01:51:30 PM
At this point, I don't even care if I have it anymore. My Tears On Tape frenzy has completely died down with how long it's taking to get here. I'd rather just get a refund. I just feel stupid and ripped off that I rushed to pre-order it like I did with everything else, but it didn't even matter because it's been 23 days and I still have nothing. When you pre-order something online, you're supposed to get it on or around the release date, not a month afterwards. It's just bullshit. The magazine was what I was most excited about, but the excitement is gone now. I'll probably open it to make sure my name is on the poster like it's supposed to be, and see if I got one of those postcards, then I'll just throw it in the bin with everything else. Fuck that company. Even if I do end up receiving a package, and let's hope it's not empty so I don't have to fuck around and deal with that, I'll still feel like someone stole money from me. I've ordered plenty of things from the UK lately. They all take 10 days at the very most, with a pretty cheap shipping option at that. I don't know what it is this company uses, but it sucks ass. Not even that, I don't even really know when they shipped it out. I don't think they even know. They gave me two different dates. It shouldn't be this hard to buy something online.

If you take a look at the company's Twitter account, there are tons of people complaining about damaged items and not receiving their items. Not just the Fanpack. They know they suck. It's laughable the amount of people having problems.

Now that I'm thinking about it, my invoice from that company said they charged me $16.99 for it too, and I know my account was charged over $30 in the end...it damn sure wasn't for shipping.

I've thumbed through the magazine, but haven't read it entirely.  If you do get a refund, I'm sure the MerchNow magazine would get to you a lot faster.

I consider myself lucky given that I did receive something and it wasn't empty.  That's a damn headache and a shitty feeling.

i've seen one have arrived to italy today (no idea if it was preordered, it was a pic from Fb)
mine took a week more than other euro residents because in Spain parcels were sent to an central delivery in Spain and later to every address

but clearly there is a problem with yours, the others you can buy now doesnt come with the band poster and the names of the fans in the back

If you guys haven't yet, you really need to take a look at My Favourite Magazine's Twitter account. Pretty much 95% of their tweets are apologizing for how shitty they are. It's hilarious. They sent one person the wrong thing, so they were given a replacement, but the replacement was the wrong thing too! Hahaha! I don't know how they're even still in business.

A lot of people wanting to cancel their magazine subscriptions too, which apparently you have to call them or write them a letter to do like it's the fuckin' 90s all over again.

Metal Hammer told everyone via Facebook that a new series of Slipknot issues will be released in celebration of the new album. These issues are also coming from the same site that published the HIM pack. My point is that Metal Hammer obviously don't know about the troubles people have had, otherwise they would have chosen a different publishing company. Unless Metal Hammer really don't care and just chose the cheapest publishing company.

I got an email reply today from future publishing asking me to wait 7 more days for my fanpack to arrive and then contact them again if it doesn't.  I assume they will send a replacement, but I'm sure it won't include the extra poster and possible postcard (and might get here by Christmas)....Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on May 22, 2013, 10:14:08 PM
In my latest email to them, I made sure to explain this wasn't my first time contacting customer service about the same order, that I've received two different shipping dates, and asked if anything can be done besides just waiting and hoping it shows up. I've waited long enough, and you've waited long enough. Beind told to wait some more is a slap in the face and NOT an acceptable answer. I even made sure to tell them that I have ordered other items from the UK, as well as Finland and Japan, since my order from them was supposedly sent out, and all have arrived within 10 days at the very most with the cheapest shipping option possible. I told them how I rushed to pre-order the Fanpack as soon as it was put up, in hopes of receiving it earlier than those who decided to wait until the last minute to order it, but how that was not been the case. My email was somewhat harsh, but I'm obviously not very happy about this situation. I haven't received an email back yet, but I don't expect one for a few more days. If all they do is tell me to wait, though, I'm going to go off on them. I've already been waiting. I want my shit.

Hey guys, I was in the same boat, wondering if my fanpack was ever going to arrive.  It finally came in yesterday.  No postcard.

I also had two email conversations with myfavemags, the second one giving me that same reply "Please contact us again in 7 days if not received".

So maybe that will give you some hope.  I'm definitely never buying from these guys again.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on May 23, 2013, 01:04:50 AM
This whole year so far has been one big mess when it comes to the band. Still no website, Tears On Tour was cancelled, Fanpack issues, ect. I was hoping this new record label was going to treat the band right and promote them like they should be promoted. Not stuff the band down our throats with heartagram pillows and blankets like Warner Bros. did, but do everything in an organized professional manner. It's pretty sad when a band as big as HIM goes without an official website during an album release, and forces fans to turn to shit like Facebook and Twitter just to know what the hell is going on. They didn't even update the website when the tour was cancelled. It's like they don't give a fuck about their fans anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the band parted ways with Warner Bros., but at least they kept things up to date. This new record label is basically an indie label. They don't have the resources like Warner Bros. did to do things the right way, even if it meant heartagram pencils and school folders. All of that shit aside, at least they had the money to pay people to get shit done. Warner Bros. would've had that website done by now, even if they wanted to turn the band into a commercial cash cow by pairing them with Nickelodeon teen star producer Matt Squire. The band should have more freedom now, but at the expense of us being left in the dark most of the time.

Another thing I don't like is this Rock Allegiance crap. I have absolutely no interest in the other bands. It's Projekt Revolution all over again, except no Placebo to make it worth going for. I wanted to see the band headlining in an intimate club setting, but I guess I'll have to wait until at least next year for that. Maybe I'll get my Fanpack by then and I can take it with me to get signed.

In some way It's like HIM were never meant to return. Their comeback tour was cancelled because of what happened to Ville and all their merch delivery is failing. And if they don't have a website up and running then I don't think this is all going to go down well.

My fanpack finally arrived today (no postcard, and the package was pretty trashed, but at this point I guess I'm just glad it wasn't a lone invoice). Hopefully yours will arrive in the next few days as well.

I'm definitely not thrilled with the Rock Allegiance shit either. I sat through a lot of crap to see HIM at project revolution, and really don't feel like doing it again.

Glad to see you got yours. Just got done reading a bunch of horror stories on Facebook. Multiple missing orders, as well as orders that looked as if they were tampered with in order to retrieve a possible postcard from them.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: marta30 on May 23, 2013, 09:41:18 PM
I hadn't thought of it having been tampered with, but mine was ripped near the window where the cd is placed. I figured it was just damage from shipping, but now I wonder......
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on May 23, 2013, 09:55:12 PM
You never know. A lot of people said they think that's what happened to them, because it didn't look like normal damage from shipping, it was almost as if someone opened up the package to look for the postcard and then put everything back inside.

Remember, the Fanpack version is what got leaked. Obviously there is someone involved somewhere that was getting into things they shouldn't have been.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Daedalus on May 23, 2013, 09:58:15 PM
One of mine was damaged during shipping but it was clear it was from the two packs being shoved into a box too small for them.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Haddonfield on May 23, 2013, 10:09:39 PM
It's entirely possible it was just shipping damage that's to blame for the people who were posting on Facebook about tampering, but they said everything was obviously ripped open and seals were broken. I haven't really seen an up close picture of the Fanpack to be able to tell how it's all held together, but I know there is a red seal on it somewhere. They said that was broken as well. It could just be an overreaction based on the situation, but when you have orders taking forever to arrive that are probably lost forever or weren't even sent out to begin with, and orders arriving without an actual item in them, it wouldn't surprise me that someone somewhere was tampering with them to steal the postcards to sell.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Inferno on May 23, 2013, 11:18:46 PM
I finally got my 2nd one today and noticed obvious tampering right away. The original just had the red sticker that sealed the package... this one had masking tape underneath it. On my first one I was able to peel back the red sticker without ripping the surface it was sticking to so it's obvious someone tampered with my second one.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: marta30 on May 24, 2013, 12:31:21 AM
Mine had tape on it as well as the red seal, and it came open very easily. This really sucks. Like you said, nothing would be a surprise at this point.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Heartagram dan on May 24, 2013, 02:40:29 AM
Mine was completely untouched, the red seal had no tape under it. So it must be someone at customs who's tampering (If anyone is actually searching the packs).
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Jay on May 24, 2013, 01:56:20 PM
Now that I think about it, my fan pack also had tape on the seal. It kind of tore some of the package when I opened it. The packing seemed tight though, so I don't suspect anyone went through it.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Daedalus on May 24, 2013, 02:09:42 PM
Both of mine had tape in addition to the seal, but it's obvious no one went through them. I'm guessing that when they packed them some got an extra taping for whatever random reason.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Jay on May 24, 2013, 02:50:02 PM
If you got the tape in addition to the seal, then you must have ordered it on a Saturday in February, and your order number ends in an odd number, and you were one of the first 729 orders.  LUCKY!

I highly doubt there was tampering. No one at customs would have THAT much time on their hands to look through every single package for a postcard, then seal them back up. Let alone the customs people would even know to look for a postcard in the first place.
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: Daedalus on May 25, 2013, 05:12:36 PM
Exactly! The people bitching that theirs was tampered with and that's why they didn't get a card are just jealous and have a poor understanding of statistics. Also, from my understanding, if customs goes through a package they have to label it as such.

Aha, yes from the US Customs and Borders webpage:
"What is the process international mail goes through when it enters the U.S.?

Mail entering the United States from abroad first arrives at a U.S. Postal Service Sorting Facility. The Postal Service then sends packages to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for examination and to assess duty, if any is owed. CBP processing is required for civilian parcels as well as those sent from overseas military postal facilities (APO/FPO).

If CBP re-sealed a package due to examination, colored tape with the words "Examined by CBP" would be used."

That's fine and dandy, but as a customer who purchased TWO fan packs and got one early with no signs of tampering I can say without any shadow of a doubt that my 2nd was tampered with. Not only was there extra tape to keep the package sealed, but the cardboard that contained the package was extremely easy to open... much more so than my first. Secondly, my tote bag came without the plastic baggy that it's supposed to be in AND the posters were folded and creased in such a way that it seems that they were just shoved in the package. The difference between my first and second is night and day.

Also, "Examined by CBP" is nowhere to be found.

Post by: Jay on May 26, 2013, 10:38:08 AM
As somebody pointed out, the fan pack is what was leaked. It could very well be a Future Publications employee tampering with them. They would certainly know about the postcards and whatnot. Still though, they wouldn't  have the time to through each pack.

The company is just a shit company. That's all there is to it.

Post by: Bender Bending R. on May 26, 2013, 11:23:58 AM
mine it comes with the fix tape too, and the red seal/stamp was very few sticked above that, both seems to be put at same time, and all inside was perfect, but later when i have to put all the stuff inside i've had to be careful to avoid damage
i asked to other Spaniards that received the parcel at same time (in fb) all of them (3) have the fix tape, and one of them also had the signed card

when the tape is removed, some glue still on the paper, that use to stick to any near, getting some dust...
Title: Re: Tears on Tape
Post by: crowley on May 29, 2013, 03:23:51 AM
My fanpack came with a piece of tape in addition to the red seal as well. The drawstring bag was sealed in plastic.

Sadly the outside of the package was a tad banged up on the edges (obviously due to shipping), and because of the piece of tape over the seal, there occurred a bit of ripping upon peeling open; but everything else looks pristine.

I don't think the lack of a signed post card is any reason to claim tampering (it was only 1,000 postcards, people).
