Into The Night lyrics

Trapped in autumn
Buried beneath the leaves
To the echo of the summer softly weeping

Sinking further
In this sanguinary sea
Painting pain with pastels through her cemetery eyes

Into the night we ride
Scars wide open
Into the night
You and I, torn and broken
Bleeding into the night

Blinded by the sun's brightest rays
Radiating from the sharpened razorblade
Side by side 
Darkness and light
Love and pain so unfair 
Their heartbeats synchronized 

Into the night we ride
Scars wide open
Into the night
You and I, torn and broken
Bleeding into the night

Arms wide open
Will you meet me there? 


All Lips Go Blue lyrics

Hear the silent sigh in song
A moment of calm before the storm
My heart so violently beats along
Leaving me to want to end it all

I weep for the dream in a grave
The one that made all lips go blue

I read the words on torn down walls
Reminding me how much I loved you

I weep for the dream in a grave
The one that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
I leave bleeding yet another day
The on that made all lips go blue, blue, blue
It's all for you

The silent sighs in song







Tears On Tape lyrics

Church bells toll
Thunder roars around me
I've been told to prepare myself for the fall
I'm armed to the teeth with tender pain
Of all yesterdays

Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar
Tears on tape
She surrenders needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

Darkness falls
Settling the score with love for once and for all
Soaked in blood, I cry
I fear we're lost to the summer rain
Lonely and afraid

Tears on tape
I will follow into your heart
Sketching rain from afar
Tears on tape
She surrenders needle in arm
While we dance into the storm

And for a moment there's no pain
For once there's no more pain in your eyes
But maybe we'll love
Just enough to convince us to keep breathing on

HIM to play intimate London gig

HIM is set to play an intimate gig at Dingwalls in London on April 26th

You can pre-order your tickets on Thursday (February 15th) at 9am HERE

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 30th on Razor & Tie in North America/Canada and on April 29th 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.
