Helldone Festival 2009 转自Myspace HIM blog,今年又有Helldone了~ Helldone Festival 2009  Oh yes, home for the holidays! Life in Southern Cali is really nice, know what I mean? But sometimes it’s good for your soul to feel the extremes - the round-the-clock darkness and the merciless cold. After all it’s a universally known fact that there is no better place to get rid of your studio tan than Hellsinki in late December! Feel that rush again, the blood racing through your veins, feeling a-live! It’s about time, too, knowing there’s an Australian tour looming on the rapidly approaching horizon. And you’ve been itching to slip in some new songs into your set, now haven’t you? No doubt about it, HIM is in. Then again they always have been, since the first Helldone Festival back in 2005 - and even beyond that. After all, there wouldn’t be a festival in the first place if the band hadn’t made a tradition out of playing New Year’s Eve gigs at their home base, the Tavastia club, starting all the way back in 1998! Since early August HIM has been working on their seventh studio album in Los Angeles with producer Matt Squire. The working title of the album is “Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice” and it is scheduled to be released on Valentine’s Day 2010. Starving for live action the band has now decided they would love to headline each and every night of the Four Headed Beast from the North that is Helldone 2009! Get some of your old friends to give us all a special treat, like go acoustic in the intimate surroundings of funky ol’ Semifinal club. Just take a sharp right after the pinball machine, there’s a short set of stairs leading down - voila, you’ve made it!
05年10月的杂志Suosikki 里面有一些好像是他的唱片公司的人还有Ville自己的话,开始的有些乱,耐心看下,因为可以看到Ville在进唱片公司之前19岁时的样子,整个乐队在那时的样子,还可以看得出Ville的成长成熟His Majesty Mr. Valo Year 1996, fall, BMG record company office.- What do you think of it? Asko Kallonen asks when he plays His Infernal Majesty-music the first time to me. It was a cover from Chirs Isaak’s song Wicked Game.- Great singer and otherwise also very nice version of the song, I said. Who these guys were?Kallonen told that he had found the tape from the middle of the other demos and he would call this Ville Valo if I would also like this song. I had worked as the BMG press officer and I had done some promo with Finnish and also foreign bands. This His Infernal Majesty could be the second publication for the new Terrier-cd brand. A week later a guy with weird hippie fur coat came into the office at our request. He was smoking the whole time. My questions of His Infernal Majesty history and future made the young artist laugh. The answers to all questions were either “I don’t know” or “I don’t care”.Do you remember that time Ville? You were already a rockstar because of those clothes.- I remember something. Clothes were very important thing. I was scared of you but I also respect you, like all the other guys. You had so much more experience than we did. The frontman of the band was shy and little bit weird. Other members of the band were not so normal either .The bassist could walk in a city wearing just underpants. The drummer had sneakers which sole had almost loosened and the guitarist didn’t say anything ever. Other thing that connected these guys besides music was that they didn’t have ever money. When His Infernal Majesty became HIM their music started to interest others than Finns. The band name was a little problem in some places (for example in Singapore) because it indicates to the Devil.
