It's all part of that filthy club of theirs...and it's pretty doubtful that they would stream it on the 6th.  My guess is that everything else will be available, but the album will be streaming the week before release.

Site looks cool. Or at least better than before :) And finally there's a discography. But... I've never heard that HIM released album entitled "Baby Join Me In Death" ;D


where did you see this? all i see is the normal albums, and a 3 disc box set.

in the RR album... see the INFO... XD "Baby join me in death" album is the Razorblade Romance Album...

I can't see the new heartagram site on any browser :(

All I keep getting is this message:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 25165824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 649577 bytes) in /home/drupal-5-prod/env/modules/views/views_cache.inc on line 146"

I'm getting the same thing. Dammit, I really want to see the new site too!

well at least one person on here will join "their filthy little club" and record the stream, so hot diggity haha
I'll be joining. I was bitching about it at work to a friend, but like she said, if it's available I will buy into it. And she's damn right.
Come love me 'till it hurts, dance the neon noir with me.

Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted (tried to allocate Y bytes)...

That indicates that Drupal needed more memory than PHP was allowed to give it.

Increase PHP's memory limit, either by adding:
memory_limit = 12M to your php.ini file (recommended, if you have access)
ini_set('memory_limit', '12M'); in your sites/default/settings.php file
php_value memory_limit 12M in your .htaccess file in the Drupal root

So here's whats been buggy... Hop the admins will fix it soon...

And since we now know that heartagram will use drupal, this can be used in many ways :D

Agreed.

I don't understand why it would be on there (and renamed) for no reason.  Unless it is a joke  :D

Hmm maybe the warner tech guy just fucked up. I don't understand why they would change the song title to "Evil". Ville is an Interpol fan, so maybe it's supposed to be that song and somehow the lyrics got mixed up. A cover of either of those songs would be nice. More then likely the whole thing is a mix up and we won't get any cover.

Just back from a week in Paris and I'm glad to see that VD isn't leaked yet



Found this very interesting article from Soundi translated by Kezza
http://kezza1970.livejournal.com/3125.html

Venus Doom interpreted by Ville Valo   
Quote
Venus Doom
One of HIM?s best songs ever. The guitar is tuned in H [meaning B in international terminology] and the heavy gothic C part is smartened by a musicbox.

?This was finished just before we went into the studio. In the C part there?s some doom like in Paradise Lost and massive Jim Steinman style vocals in the choruses. Although the idea of having  a little too much of everything was stolen from The Corrosion by Sisters Of Mercy. In the C part I sing lower than ever before.?

 
Love In Cold  Blood
This song has a very heavy punkyish guitar riff that indirectly resembles Thin Lizzy. The chorus with its wolf-like howling ?Love in co-o-o-old blood? glues like resin.

?To me the riff sounds like Cathedral. Originally we meant to have Lee (Dorrian, the singer of Cathedral) sing on this one, but it never materialised. The song is quite a mess: some parts remind you of Metallica, some of Sabbath. And in the end there?s some Kyuss and Alice In Chains.?

 
Passion?s Killing Floor
A fine syncope-ridden song that was sold to the movie Transformers. Stylish changes of tempo, a short drum solo and church bells. The first lines go: ?It?s poetry carved in flesh, this beautiful hell of ours?.

?The chorus was composed even before Join Me, some time around 1997. I don?t usually write to desk drawer, but some songs just stay alive. The main riff saw the light in 2001 or 2002, played on acoustic guitar after some tv show in Cologne.?


Kiss Of Dawn

The first single release off the album. A song that includes a psychedelic outro and smells like 80?s hardrock.

?The video was shot in Los Angeles at the legendary Scream Club. It was directed by Meiert Avis, who directed Wings Of The Butterfly from the last album. We even had Tim Palmer on the video. He pretends to be pressing some button [or something like that]. The song is a combination of our heavy and light stuff. The riff is like from Zakk Wylde and the chorus from The Beatles. It?s dedicated to a friend of mine who killed him/herself a couple of years ago.?


Sleepwalking Past Hope
A handsome song that sees both the change of atmosphere and tune, spiced by percussion instruments and in the lyrics a new way to say 666. The band?s ?magnum opus?, for the time being at least.

?It?s true, in the text there?s a ?six hundred three score and six? pun. I had the association with Dante?s Inferno ? in that the Hell ends on the ninth circle. In the song, Inferno only starts at that and ends at 666. Also, Lucifer is mentioned for the first time on a HIM record. This song is my favourite at the moment. It?s a grandiose thing that kind of has three songs in one. In one part there?s a very heavy riff that, in Zepu style, is in minor instead of major.?


Dead Lover?s Lane
An archtype of a HIM song whose chorus takes you back to the 80?s. In a short middle part, there?s a more modern piano loop combination.

?At some point when we were jamming, I came up with a huge bunch of riffs. That rarely happens but it was nice though. The lads called me the riff king the rest of the day. This song has a fine guitar riff and the music is quite a potpur. It reminds me both of Killing Joke, Jethro Tull and Billy Idol. The verse is a mixture of Ijahman Levi and Interpol.?


Song Or Suicide

A one-minute acoustic piece. A field recording where, apart from playing and singing, you can here a chair squeaking. The lyrics include, among other things: ?Sorrow rebuild me. Misery strengthen me?.

?At the time of mixing, I lived in the classic Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles where John Belushi killed himself. I wanted the song to have an acoustic part in the middle, like rock songs on Led Zeppelin?s third album. The lyrics are partly based on Timo K. Mukka?s Tabu and the title is a Judee Sill line. We added two tracks of background vocals on it, the rest was recorded live.?


Bleed Well
Happy-going, a slightly atypical HIM song  in its positivity. In the bridge.. [something] and the song also has a fabulous keyboard-arpeggio.

?The lightness of this song is fake, because lyrically this song is the darkest on the album. The riff is pure Hurriganes [a Finnish band in the 70?s]. We were laughing our arses off at the thought that we should ask Remanderi [from The Hurriganes]) to play the drums. This song started acoustic and it happened to be the first song that we rehearsed.?


Cyanide Sun
An elevating and epic song that not many people would have spared as the last song. The lyrics say: ?We?ve sailed the seas of grief on a raft built with our tears.? Apparently the lyrics are quite personal.

?To me this song represents Lapland. Parts of it were done four years ago, but I finished it last year in Lapland and the lyrics even later. This is in line with our previous albums in the sense that we always have something a little out of the ordinary as the last song.?

Rad. I love that little backstory on PKF. It does explain why it reminds me so much of older HIM stuff. Again, I think it's neat that CS was something Ville has been working on for a while as well. Thank you for posting that article!
