mine has the him logo on the top above her head and but it doesn't have the line going through it anymore. it looks like the backround they have been using for there metallica shows kinda looks more like a horror movie type font now the m kinda has a dripping effect like blood or something. it's

That's what I'm refering to. Apparently, at least for the album cover and this tour, they are using a different logo.

clip of Venus Doom? or maybe Ville is just improv singing telling people about the new album

Daedalus · « **Reply #453 on:** July 14, 2007, 05:13:52 PM »

It sounds like it's just him improvising during The Sacrament.

lastxcallforsin · « **Reply #454 on:** July 14, 2007, 05:20:13 PM »

yeah, you're right

Daedalus · « **Reply #455 on:** July 14, 2007, 05:24:30 PM »

Has anyone seen this recent interview yet?

Ville makes the very distinct comment, "We used to be a love metal band."
I'm not sure what to think of that.

lastxcallforsin · « **Reply #456 on:** July 14, 2007, 05:49:45 PM »

he doesn't look too good in that interview...

Harker · « **Reply #457 on:** July 14, 2007, 05:52:09 PM »

Question and answers starts around 03:20

The question is:
Lies behind the new Doom-sound the search to a new music-direction?

The quote, with rough translation:

Quote

...
"Das ist das, was wir wollten"
That is what we wanted

"aber wir sehen uns weiterhin als Love Metal band"
but we still see us as a Love Metal band

That is something else then "we used to be a Love Metal band"

Ville still talks when the video stops, so maybe he says more that we don't see, but the video-editors did hear.

I think he's trying to say that venus doom isn't much about love... unlike the songs before, which makes sense. He was talking about Doom metal, maybe he's saying that's what they are now.

I'm more surprised by this tracks

Where is Ville talking about? Or is that only on the promo?

lastxcallforsin · « **Reply #463 on:** July 15, 2007, 09:31:36 AM »

Whatever happened to the shortest song being 5 minutes?

bigbadbowzer · « **Reply #464 on:** July 15, 2007, 11:04:28 AM »

but why do we need yet another recording of ville talking, kinda weak

MiLToS_666 · « **Reply #465 on:** July 15, 2007, 12:03:30 PM »

Track 7 is a nice acoustic song with Ville's lovely heavy voice

About the track with Ville Talking it's sth like a hidden track I don't know if it's gonna make it in the retail album... A spooky background "music effect" is played and he says:

"Yo, it's Ville... ummm everything's perfect... I'm getting tanned... fucking bored... playing pool... uhhh met some really nice people... eating great food... uhhh come to rescue me HAHAHAHAHA! Now, two more weeks to go and I'm off and I'll kick your ass! Right, catch you later brother, buh..." and he hangs up!

About the "brother" word I'm not sure... But that's what I heared!

Jay · « **Reply #466 on:** July 15, 2007, 01:36:11 PM »

I thought only rap albums had skits on them.

Daedalus · « **Reply #467 on:** July 15, 2007, 01:52:34 PM »

Haven't you heard? That's the new direction for HIM post Venus Doom. Ville has said that he wants to "get crunk". Or maybe it was "get drunk"?

emock · « **Reply #468 on:** July 15, 2007, 02:58:22 PM »

I have to say that Venus Doom is sounding less awesome

and I'm really not liking that artwork... Hopefully it'll still turn out great

lastxcallforsin · « **Reply #469 on:** July 15, 2007, 03:32:44 PM »

Everything I've heard so far sounds great. Can't wait to hear studio versions of Kiss of Dawn and Dead Lover's Lane! About the artwork, maybe this is only the art for the front of the jewel case, and it will be inside of a sleeve featuring different artwork. It doesn't even say HIM or Venus Doom on it. Then again, that could easily be fixed with a sticker.

Until we hear what the content is we can't judge whether it is good or bad.

To be fair, Passion's Killing Floor, Dead Lover's Lane and Kiss of Dawn all sound REALLY good tracks.

We'll see...

Amourder · « **Reply #471 on:** July 16, 2007, 07:40:08 AM »

10 minutes for a HIM song, without it being the last song of an album, sounds great. Of course, 3 minutes of song and 7 minutes of coda kind of sucks, but 10 minutes of trippy progressive love metal would be fantastic.

MiLToS_666 · « **Reply #472 on:** July 16, 2007, 08:56:10 AM »

This 10 minute song is my favorite from the album for now... It's a great song with a very catchy chorus... And it's like 3 songs in one in structure!

emock · « **Reply #473 on:** July 16, 2007, 08:58:49 AM »

It'll probably be great but it's all the waiting around and annoying competitions putting me off...

A 10 minute song sounds interesting I really can't wait to hear it now

Davidson955 · « **Reply #474 on:** July 16, 2007, 10:07:48 AM »

ok this person is talking about hearing the album already...why cant u just put it on the forum... nt trying to be mean im just asing and relaly excited for the Doom!
