Thre are only a few gigs left till the end of the European autumn tour of the band. So far what we know is that the band will continue after New Years as well, but there are no concrete statements or dates. I believe there were Bulgarian fans at a few of the gigs so let's hope that next year they will remember us finally and pay us a small visit here, at home.
Some people from our forum gave a brilliant feedback from the Prague concert. These people are a wonderful example for proving that it is not so difficult to organize a trip to Eastern Europe, just to be able to see a most favourite band live. And in this certain case - finantially accessible trip. As for the Munhen gig that took place on the 17th of October I can personally state that the myth was broken open. For the first time ever I was at a concert where the guys were beating the numbers of the girls :P Surely, it was not such a big difference, but still in men's advantage. For the first time I had a great view and managed to film as much as possible.
This is not one of the best ever performances by Ville, but... The year is 2005, the album Dark Light, and the boys-on the very top of their career. They are guests of the famous show Jimmy Kennedy, with tens of thousands spectators in front of the home TV set... Enjoy...

And so, as I had promissed some time ago, this month I was supposed to upload a short material from the concert of the band in Austria, Nova Rock Festival. I suppose, some of You were there themselves, as I could hear a Bulgarian speech at places. :) The link can be found in TVRequest
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Part of the forum group are organizing a travel to Prague, Czech Republic, to visit the band's gig on the 12th of October. There are already some errands done over the buying of the tickets and the travelling organization. If you are interested see the topic in the forum or write to tumnasianka.
The co-fans in the UK listed a poll in which everyone is free to vote for a favourite song to be played live on the upcoming autumn tour. There are even some songs that have never been played live so far! In the list you could see songs such as Venus Doom, Ode To Solitude, For You and to the importancce of You all - Love's Requiem! If you are intending to see the band play live in the autumn or you simply want to hear certain songs live, you can give your vote Here.
Please keep on voting in our poll for a favourite song. It's been very interesting and challenging so far.
Nothing left but to wish you all a very sunny summer! If only something urgent comes out aboout the band! In youtube you will be able to find almost the full concerts from Warsaw, Ruisrock and Maxidrom. In August I will try to upload a 30 minute video to be downloaded from the Nova Rock Festival in Austria.
From the middl eof August the band is hitting the road to America. At Rock Allegiance tour HIM will be playing togather with bands such as Volbeat and Airbourne. Then, during the Fall there will be many gigs across Europe, so I am encouraging you to look around for dates in the closer to us countries if you can go and see them live. They will be in Viena on October the 10nth, and after that they will be supported in Germany by Paradise Lost again.

Be eager! Very soon new photographs and a new video from the Nova Rock Festival 2013 will be a treat for you in our website! The closest distination to see the band live is Viena at this stage. The gig is still not added to the band's facebook page, but at Nova Rock there were posters ( as well as Ville himselve confirmed), that on the October the 13th at Gasometar (as usual venue point) the band will be playing. We will be pleased if any of you share any kind of videos and photos from the gigs you've attended. And if someone accidentally comes upon the guys, please remind them that its high time to come over Bulgaria ;)
In 2004 HIM won the prize Golden Gods distributed by Metal Hammer and rocked out real hard for this occasion. See the video:

Less than a month after the release of Tears On Tape the album is at the very top of the charts of the best-seller album. In Finland and Germany the album is on the 2nd place. In Billboard Top Rock Album's classation it is #1, #1 on Vinyl, #3 on Rock, #3 on Alternative and #8 on Physical! In the States more than 20,000 copies were selled out only during the first week. This is the second album to achieve so intense sales since 2005 Dark Light. In general all was good until the beginning of the tour. At the very 1st gig, however, Ville had an asthma attack and the tour has been cancelled. What matters is that he is already feeling better and standing on his feet. Later on new dates for the autumn were released.
As for heartagram.com all seems to be under the veil of a huge mystery. Practically there is no website, but an amazing video of Linde and Lucifers Chorale is uploaded. :)

Here it comes, only a few days seperate us from the release of Tears on Tape. I guess you all have already listened to it and even have a favorite song. At least thats what I can say concidering the poll, where the battle is challenging! However, we have no information why after all the stuff that fell into the internet, there is still no videos for both Into The Night and All Lips Go Blue. In the same context the official webpage is still kept mute. This delay of the potential videoclips might be explained with a slight change into the plans ( like once upon a time when Buried Alive By Love was filmed before Funeral Of Hearts, but released weeks after) But this does not explain why only 5 days before the official release heartagram.com is a complete mess...although it is obvious....they will run it in 5 days! :D
