Even HMC.fi is reporting that Venus Doom is delayed until September. I'm not so much mad that it's delayed, but why. Stupid U.S. label. Let Europe release it in July, so I can import it, and then you guys can release it whenever the hell you want!  ;D

But this could be wrong, I mean so many places, articles, etc. have confirmed July 10th, and since one other thing comes out I think we should still speculate July 10th

Yes, but everyone confirmed July 10th back when that was still the tentative date. Now it has been pushed back and most places have yet to update to that.

HMC was the first telling about July as release date, later mtv added july 10 and the title, Venus doom
but HMC never have published the name of the album
apart mtv, there is another reference to the title, maybe on kerrang?

Metal Hammer mentions the title in the May issue, but doesn't have any specific release date.

From Heartagram.com Forum posted by Shelley (on may 11 2007):

Quote
Got the Revolver in the mail today. My scanner is not working so I will type it out for you guys.

In the studio THE GREAT DEPRESSION

Ville Valo coudn't be more bummed out about how good HIM's forthcoming album promises to be.

"I've been having thes meltdowns like never before" says HIM's Ville Valo. The finnish frontman is on the phone from Finnvox studios in Helsinki, where the band is tracking the followup to 2005's Dark Light, tentaively titled "Venus Doom". "When an album is on it's way, its always something. Last time, I had these panic attacks, and this time around I've been going through severe depression. The albums sounding great, and we're having a great time while doing it, but I'm really having a hard time."

The band (which also includes guitarist Linde Lindstrom, bassist Mige', drummer Gas, and keyboardist Burton) is once again working with Dark Light producer Tim Palmer, with coproduction and engineering help from Hiili Hiilesmaa, who produced 2003's Love Metal. "When you have two guys that know the band real well, everything goes alot faster," says Valo. "And it's been nice for the band to record at home, because everyone can sleep in their own bed until the touring thing starts." So, what, then, is the problem? "Oh, I don't fucking know." Valo laughs. "You prepare the songs and you work on lyrics for maybe years before you get to actually hear them played by the band, and then it's such an emotional thing that goes on when that happens-it's like you 've got to destroy something beautiful to rebuild something even more beautiful. It's devastating to me, but it's devastating to me in a peculiarly beautiful way. It's like Edvard Munch's The Scream-but with pastel colors."

Never one to shy away from wearing his vampire heart on his sleeve, Valo says his lyrics for Venus Doom (which, like Dark Light, will be released on Sire Records) are more personal than ever., including a song for a friend who commited suicide two years ago. "Sometimes, when you write lyrics, you think you're writing them about somebody else," he explains. "But all of a sudden, when you read them again, you're like, Fucking hell, they're about me! That's kind of weird, and that's been happening alot lately."

Still, Valo assures Revolver that he hasn't lost his macrabre sense of humor. "It's all still tongue in cheek, to a certain extent," he says. "You can't take yourself too seriously-or way too seriously, you know? There's a fine line. My favorite is the song 'Passions Killing Floor.' The first line is 'My hearts a graveyard baby!' And there is a song called 'Dead Lovers Lane': 'Crawl down dead lovers lane/The maze of memories stained/And suck the blood out of my heart.' Stuff like that. So, Im still the depressed fucking gloomy motherfucker that I always was." he laughs.

Valo previously told Revolver that Venus Doom would sound like Blsck Sabbath meets Nineties shoegazers My Bloody Valentine, and the singer still stands by the description.

"Or U2 meeting Kyuss," he offers. "It's still very melodic-the keyboards are super-gay-very Depeche Mode, very Eighties-but everything else is super-fucking heavy. At times, it sounds like Master of Puppets-era Metallica, which is really cool. It sounds kind of macho, which is nice. So it's kind of like a she-male record."

Venus Doom, which wil be mixed by Palmer and Valo at L.A.'s Paramount Recording, is slated for a July 10 release.

"We're trying to be fast," says Valo. "We're trying to be like the Seventies, when Whitesnake and everybody were doing three albums a year."
Wait, did you just say Whitesnake? "I love Whitesnake! David Coverdale is my fucking hero!," Valo exults. "Though our brand of cock rock is a little more subtle. We are very sensitive on that side," he chuckles. "We do 'slide it in' occasionally-but only if she says so."

There are two pic's, the one with the voodoo chicken foot in the studio and another small one standing at the mike singing in the studio.

And there is a song called 'Dead Lovers Lane': 'Crawl down dead lovers lane/The maze of memories stained/And suck the blood out of my heart.'

Good, the correct lyric from the chorus.  The real lyric is a lot better than the stuff people thought it could have been.

I highly doubt VD will come out in July, for one there hasn't been any promotion for it and July 10th is only one and a half months away. Just my thought, besides HIM always says a date then changes it to the fall.



They must like the fall.

I'm sure it has to do with the tour... if you had a choice and you have to pick from getting more publicity or releasing an album, which would you do?

MetalHammer: HIM postpone album

Heaviest HIM album delayed

According to H.I.M.'s Finnish record label Helsinki Music Company (HMC), the projected release date of the group's new album, tentatively titled "Venus Doom", has been pushed back to September from the previously announced July 10. The band's sixth studio CD was recorded at the Finnvox facility in Helsinki with producer Tim Palmer and is scheduled to be mixed this month in California, followed by a video shoot.

H.I.M. frontman Ville Valo recently told MTV.com that "Venus Doom" is "going to be a lot heavier than anything we've done before — that's the whole idea. It's like we're mixing MY BLOODY VALENTINE's 'Loveless' with METALLICA's 'Master of Puppets'. ... There won't be as much ear candy on this one. There are a lot of riffs, and it's more guitar-oriented than keyboard-driven. Really, we just wanted to rock our own socks off.

"We wanted to make a really rockin' album — one that would explode your speakers," he added. "But we also wanted to maintain the melancholy aspects of love and loss in the lyrics and then have the really sweet vocals amidst this storm of guitars.

"Lyrically, it's about me losing a relationship and then actually regaining it, and losing my sanity and regaining it," Valo continued. "As you grow up, life gets more and more complex, even though when you're a kid you think things are going to get easier. It's like a f---ing puzzle that just keeps on having more and more pieces to it. It's very personal, this album. It's like me getting rid of my demons and putting the pain in the music. It's cathartic, and it's about cleansing yourself and trying to have the courage to take that one step further."

Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Dead Lovers Lane", "The Kiss of Dawn", "Love in Cold Blood" and "Passion's Killing Floor".
