HIM part ways with Sire/Warner Music


HIM part ways with Sire/Warner Music

After 6 years and three albums, Finnish rock band HIM and Sire/Warner Music have decided to part ways.

Seymour Stein, founder of Sire Records says: "It was a pleasure working with HIM, and we're very proud to have been their partners for the last six years. Ville is a rare talent, and my relationship with their manager Seppo dates back to the days when he pioneered rock music in Finland looking after the career of Hanoi Rocks. HIM are particularly important because they are the first and only band from Finland to reach Gold status in America. I, along with the entire Sire/Warner Bros. family, wish them continued success in the future."

HIM's discography on Sire includes the 2005 album Dark Light, which reached gold in the US. Follow-up albums Venus Doom (2007) and Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice (2010) charted both in the US and Europe.

"We're ever so grateful for having had Seymour and Co as the generous hosts on our extended first stay in the New Country. It's been a Blast Royale but now it's time to clean up the rubble and start anew", comments Ville Valo of HIM.

Why VILLE VALO was not included in the nominations???

I don't know what happened but even though that VILLE VALO won in category Top Ten Most Romantic Singers he hasn't been nominated for the Teen Choice Awards 2011, for me is a huge scandal.
I think VILLE puts his heart and soul for ages into the music which he create.
VILLE VALO is a versatile artist. For me personally VILLE is the unique and special person in this world with awesome dark, deep, soft voice and great charisma .
VILLE VALO doesn't deserve such a treatment from the American media.
Why VILLE VALO was not included in the nominations, that is the good question?

I want to you to know dear VILLE VALO and HIM guys, that HEARTAGRAM POLAND and members from other HEARTAGRAMS are voted for you.
YOU'RE in Our Hearts so don't forget about POLAND on Your next tour in 2012, POLAND can't wait for HIM new album in 2012 :)
Don't forget to come for gigs to WARSAW, POLAND !!!
HEARTAGRAM hugs from WARSAW, POLAND !!!

About recent news about HIM ...

I'm sorry for late reply ...
Unfortunately I don't know such a page, I all time searching new info's about HIM band from various newspapers and then, I publish them on Heartagram.com.
You have to be patient, I'm sure that everything going in the right direction, so don't panic, HIM guys know what to do:)

Him And Ville Valo

Sono un grande fan degli H.I.M. e lo scrivo perchè
questo commento che lascero quì sicuramente non piacerà a molti...
Non capisco cosa sia successo a questo gruppo musicale che adoravo!!!
L'ultimo album Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice non può
essere opera di Ville Valo..
Cari H.I.M. che fine avete fatto?? Il vostro sound con Venus Doom
era qualcosa di Divino e pensavo che la vostra evoluzione continuasse
su quei ritmi afrodisiaci , mistico-decadente.
Screamworks è musica da dilettanti con accordi scontati..abbiamo aspettato 3 anni questo atteso album...ed alla fine un fiasco totale..potevate cambiare
nome al gruppo per produrre quella immondizzia!
Caro Ville,Gas,Burton & Linde non vi capisco proprio..
Accettate questa critica di un fan che sognava con la vostra musica..

The'r Comeback!

VOTE for VILLE VALO, HIM, LINDE ! YOU CAN STILL VOTE! MORE INFO!

HURRY UP !!! NO TIME TO LOOSE !!! Just VOTE for VILLE VALO, HIM and DANIEL LIONEYE !!!
You can still vote for VILLE VALO and HIM in following categories probably until starting Teen Choice Awards 2011 gala.

The label's bread will be no obvious alternative.

Alternatives is quite a lot. The traditional record company, the formula may not be exactly what it currently is the only option.

The band's own Heartagram is a record label, which is maintained through the last three album releases Finland. Seppo Vesterinen that also includes a number of alternatives.

HIM's current website has been quiet for a long time, due to the fact that they are maintained by the band's previous record company. As the co-operation is finished, the pages are little by little hole mass. HIM new site release date has not yet been finalized, the Vesterinen.

One of the loudest 2000s Finnish rock band HIM, and Warner Music, owned by US-Sire Records, the record company parted ways in March, when the record deal came to an end. Last year a record two years ago, published in the Scream Works: Love in Theory and Practice Chapters 1-13.

- Today, with the record companies are so difficult that may be to see how we implemented the following output will be carried out by itself or with the record company, HIM guitarist Mikko "Linde" Lindstrom commented Inferno magazine in May.

Tavastia?

The seventh studio album, Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice published last year in HIM was deliberately decent break since last summer. Pause has brought a new enthusiasm for a long time together olleeseen band.

- Of course, the hunger grows whenever there is to do nothing, Vesterinen says.

Touring the band have been free to return pallets in earnest after the new material has been published.

New Album

Venus DOom was a bit too hard and too long tracks made it lose the stop quickly. Screamworks was a bit too pop/rock for their genre.

They should follow the razorblade, deep shadows and brilliant..., vol 666, and so on albums style, its their image, and maybe redfeny with new instruments. :)

I miss the good HIM, hope their working in a new album. :))

Hello?

What is up with this website never being updated? This is getting to be lame!

I miss HIM are they doing anything please some good news!

Everyday i keep reading the messages on here and still nothing about what HIM is doing we need our band and really need to know what is going on please!

No subject

WHERE sunless rivers weep
Their waves into the deep,
HIM sleeps a charmed sleep:
Awake them not.
Led by a single star,
They came from very far
To seek where shadows are
HIM's pleasant lot... :D :D (borrowed from Mrs. CHRISTINA ROSSETTI)

I don't see any updates man..

I don't see any updates man.. Still the same things are going on.. Is there any new album to come up..

Please Come Back

Funny thing, when I ordered the SWRMS album and shirt from the web site I ended up getting the album but not the shirt. I waited and waited for this shirt. All the while I was getting more and more mad with each passing day. Finally after 2 months of not getting the shirt I finally contacted the record label web site and wrote a very wordy email about how angry I was. One of the things that I said was that in my opinion H.I.M. is too good for that label and that I am sure that any self respecting artist would be angry that their fans are not getting what they payed for. Then soon after I read that they have parted ways with that label.
Along with every other H.I.M. fan I keep visiting this web site in hopes to see any news what-so-ever. But every time I visit this web site it seems like a graveyard. I want... I need more H.I.M. For like 6 months after the release of every album that is all that is played in my car. I would love to hear some news. And would be the happiest person in the world to hear that I can listin to some new stuff from H.I.M.

News about HIM singer VILLE VALO from HELSINKI TIMES!!!

Here is interesting article from HELSINKI TIMES about HIM singer VILLE VALO!!!

http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/htimes/helsinki/business-hub/16001-young-fin...

Young Finnish firm attracts sizable investment

Hitlantis wanted to raise 1.5 million dollars but probably could have attracted more.

HITLANTIS, a small start-up based in Helsinki, has closed a deal with angel investors to raise 1.5 million US dollars. The round was over-subscribed, but those investors that missed out on this opportunity may have another soon: the company may raise between four and seven million dollars more this autumn.

Hitlantis offers the music of independent bands via a visually striking interface. The universe of musical content is arrayed around a central hub. Bands are represented as bubbles, with the most popular being large and close to the centre while less popular artists are small and on the fringes. They are grouped by musical category, such as metal, rap or reggae. The largest category is rock, but it also includes many other varieties such as folk, Indian or punk.

The service also has real-time applications: a white circle around a band means that someone is listening to the artist at that moment. Currently the company has about 5,000 bands, 200,000 monthly visitors and its applications have been downloaded almost one million times.

90 per cent to the band

Artists and fans create profiles on Hitlantis, which offers a social networking experience in addition to the music. The popularity of bands, as represented by the size and location of their bubble, comes from the community. Listening to, “liking”, or buying a song improves popularity. When a user becomes a “fan” of a band, popularity also increases.

To purchase songs, fans decide what they are willing to pay. As long as a minimum price is met, 90 per cent goes to the band. Hitlantis also has another revenue stream – selling premium memberships to artists. Currently the premium membership is only five euros per month.

The company behind Hitlantis, Cognitive Maps Ltd, was founded in 2009 by Timo Poijärvi and Petri Kotro. Originally the service was only available on the web, but the company has since launched applications for the iPhone and iPad. An Android version is expected by the end of this summer.

Most of their current business has come from Europe. Hitlantis is now going to Asia via South Korea, and their recent exploratory forays into the United States suggest a push will be made in that market.

Host of investors

The news of the investment was announced from Los Angeles, where co-founder and vice president Poijärvi gave a brief statement.

“This investment from prominent European investors is a critical validation, but even more encouraging has been the response we’ve received while meeting with top brands and media companies in New York, San Francisco and presently Los Angeles,” said Poijärvi. “It’s clear that the future of content discovery has taken a radical – and much needed – leap forward with our advent, and we plan further innovation with our next itineration.”

The investors that participated in this first round of fund-raising include Nokia executives, JSH Capital, Hasan & Partners, PM Ruukki, Rock Island Investment, T&T Enterprises and some unnamed individuals in the media and telecommunication industries.

“Investing in Hitlantis was a meaningful opportunity for us,” says Juha Tynkkynen, CEO of T&T Enterprises. “Their technology solves a major problem in the marketplace. With billions of apps, countless numbers of songs and videos, among other forms of content aimlessly flooding the market every day, we need a compelling and engaging way to filter and discover new content. Clearly the Hitlantis visual browsing platform is that solution, which is already proving itself with music.”

According to reports by Antti Vilpponen at Arctic Startup, the name Hitlantis originated with VILLE VALO, the lead singer of HIM. Poijärvi had wanted VALO to participate in the project, but the singer was prohibited by non-competition clauses in his current contracts.

Why?

Okay, I can really understand that you neet a break after you 'part ways' with your lable. And I would understand it, if you make.. breaks between the news we get from this homepage. But I.. I really wish, that we get a little sign of life. The last four months it seems like HIM's dead. Just.. a big nothig without the hope, chance or.. even motivation to be something again. I love you. Really, with all of my heart.

please -.-

the last album wasn't a disaster, it was diferent but pretty cool.not my favourite but i love every song of the album, i miss him...

AHHHHH come back!!!!!

Ville Valo NEWS :)

Here is video from YouTube, where all you can see, that Ville is doing well and he is in bar with guys from Finnish band - Velvet Six :)
Video was taken on 7th July 2011, at Ilves Bar in Helsinki, Finland.
Big thank you to Malin Alfsdotter for this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN-ZyYXevWc&feature=player_embedded

Thanks you Ville Valo and

Thanks you Ville Valo and your group for that that you exist.

Even to look at you it is a pleasure! You - the present talent and we very much love you. You allow forces to live and rejoice lives and to feel live!

it's not that good ...
rather all the damn bad!

Interesting news for Ville Valo

Natalia Avelon wants to come into their own footsteps and build on the success of her duet with Him frontman Ville Valo. The Uschi Obermaier 'actress revealed yesterday at the edge of Hurts concert at an exclusive party series on MTV and CK One, that she still has contact with the HIM singer with them for the film "Das Wilde Leben" In 2007 the duet has included "Summer Wine." 'Ville and I still have contact. We also write to us at Christmas, but he lives quite far away just yet. "Whether the fin is also involved in her new project, Avelon would not betray. Avelon is currently filming the British series "Strike Back" in Hungary, but then again, the actress wants to focus on music. "There is a project, but that is still secret, because I really can not tell." When it comes to Avelon, but musically it could go in different directions. "I'm a fan of the French electronica duo Justice and enjoy listening to metronomes. In the 1980s, however, I was huge fan of Sabrina and her song" Boys Boys Boys ''.

I did not know him (((((

Ville was right ...

I saw this video few times and I'm not surprised that Ville was nervous, the equipment should be checked before the show, if it works. I think that Ville was right.

:(

Did not he had to check the equipment?
Why so nervous, could be all quiet and fix ...

When they did their concert

When they did their concert out here in March 2010 at the Music Box, I had a funny feeling that this was to happen. Not due to the music cuz they kicked ass. There was a comment to the effect of $$ and marketing or videos... something of that nature. And I say Brava to the band for not selling out to the record company for a more mainstream sound. Good luck to them and for us I hope its not forever..

Also if I might add: The

Also if I might add: The marketing that is done by record companies is disgraceful now.. If its not shiny,naked,and an overdone production fluff than it is not worth the record companies time. I worked for DreamWorks and that is precisely why Geffen had to merge Dreamworks Recording Division to these corporations such as General Electric??? The creativity in the mgmt in the arts is gone... we have an age where people are stealing music and record mgmt keeps making more and more $$ and the shareholders only care about the $$ its only business now, the creativity spark that was allowed by any and all artists is now too limiting. Buying the music isnt enuf...anymore...
Make the music and we shall buy!! and come!!

What?

I don't understand this whole happening. I don't quite get it. I haven't listened to HIM for awhile because I've been listening to other bands, although HIM remains at constant with being my favorite band I come back to the website to see if there's any new news with the band, new recordings, what not, and I see they part ways with there label and they're not a band technically? Or a signed band, any who...
