How did the deal with your current U.S. record label, Razor & Tie, come about?
It was an odd situation. We were signed to Warner Bros. and everything changed. So we wanted to see if there would be alternatives out there so we went with Razor & Tie, due to them giving us a decent deal, so it’s important to have a situation when calling a record label and having all of this assistance available. So we will see what happens next.
Will we ever see Ville Valo trying out a solo career?
Not me. Our bass player did a solo project and our guitarist worked on a side project. Since I am the main songwriter for HIM, that’s enough for me. If I did go and write something, it would probably sound just like HIM, if not sound worse, so I am happy with the band the way it is.
Why did you want to do a mini U.S. tour in support of this album?
Since the album is coming out late in the Spring time, all of the summer festivals coming up, we had wanted to do this tour to let everyone know that there is a record coming out and we are around. After that tour, we will be doing another in the fall, but I’m not sure of where it will start. We just wanted to do more intimate shows for the loyal fanatics out there.
You have done work in the past with the guys of The 69 Eyes. Would you ever consider touring with them in the U.S.?
We’ve known each other for years, like, 90 something. But they’re busy, so whenever we’re in the studio, they’re touring, or if they’re in the studio, we’re touring, so our paths never cross. But yeah, it would be nice to do, so I gota ask them next time I see them what they want to do.
What are your favorite things about touring in the U.S.?
The scenery, big skies. Like, touring in the U.K., the cities are, like, 100 miles from one another; where in the U.S., it’s constant traveling and makes it great. Seeing these shady motels, gas stations, it’s nothing like a tourist, you get to see the different sides of things. All of the states have different things. It’s the best of both worlds when it comes to touring.
You guys have toured a lot over the years, but where hasn’t HIM set foot in?
We’ve never played Africa, India, Alaska, Latin America, only played Japan once. There are a lot of places we would love to go to, to see what it’s like, but the problem with touring is that if you wanted to see all of those countries and cities, you’d be on tour for years. By doing that, touring can be tiring being away from home, so we’re still trying to find a balance between being in the studio and being out touring. It’s a fine line, so hopefully we’ll get to see some new places soon.
What can the fans expect to see from you for this year?
I’m hoping that there will be fans, because without them, we wouldn’t get to do what we love to do. We’ll just be touring as much as possible. We just shot three new videos, which should be out soon. We’ve been working on the live set list, bringing back my acoustic guitar for some songs, and playing songs we haven’t played in a long time. So just switching things around just a tiny bit to get people’s interest up.
