Tears On Tape release date is April 29!

Finnish rockers HIM have announced this morning they're set to release their new album 'Tears On Tape' on April 29 through Cooking Vinyl's imprint DoubleCross.

Speaking of the album, Ville Valo has said:

"Cooking Vinyl’s history speaks for itself and for some unfathomable reason they have clearly understood HIM’s rather perverse musical fetishes (which is as rare as hen’s teeth !). DoubleCross (of the inverted kind) here we come!”

The album will be released on 29th in UK and 30th in U.S.

HIM joins Razor & Tie's label

 Razor & Tie announces the addition of the Finnish rock band HIM (His Infernal Majesty) to its North American label roster.  The band has completed work on their forthcoming new studio album, Tears On Tape, which will be released on April 30^th on Razor & Tie in North America/Canada and on April 29^th on DoubleCross (Cooking Vinyl’s specialist rock imprint) in the U.K.and Ireland.

HIM lead vocalist Ville Valo comments, “We’re infernally glad to be dressed sharply enough for our dearest  comrades in the U.S.(for once), R&T A-Go-Go!!!”

Razor & Tie A&R Executive Mike Gitter adds, “Few artists are able to tap into rock at its most emotional and forlorn and make it sound so damn uplifting and powerful. That’s Ville Valo and HIM’s stock-in-trade. They take the rawest of emotions and channel them into unforgettable anthems-invoking the spirit of great rock n roll in the process.”

Tears On Tape will be the “Love Metal” band’s eighth official album and was recorded in their home country with long-time producer Hiili Hiilesmaa and once again mixed by long time-band associate,Tim Palmer (U2, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, Robert Plant).

A formidable live act, the band will be announcing a U.S. tour next week and is already confirmed to perform at this year’s U.K.Download Festival in mid-June.

Happy Heartagram Day 2013
