Ville Valo for january issue of Bizarre Magazine: "I'd rather someone suck my cock than watch them eat a replica of it"...

slovenský preklad nižšie....

Q: How are you doing?
Ville: I've made a deal with myself that I’m going to put all my energy into music, instead of getting fucked up. It was a wise decision, because the album's actually really good, which hopefully means that people will legally download it, so I’ll get a shit-ton of money to behave like a rock n' roll bastard in maybe two years time, as opposed to being rock n' roll, making shitty albums and hoping people will buy them.

Q: When we last spoke, you said you'd have sex with a sperm whale. Have you done it yet?
Ville: Well, I've only dreamed of it - wet dreams. I can't swim well, so we've got to figure out a way of doing it.

"Life is lonely but filled with music" Ville Valo for Rock Sound issue 130


How´s life, Squire? Says Ville Valo: "Rather hopeful, really! Life has been busy and I´m feeling good about our new album, I´m really proud of it. It´s probably the only album that has given me shivers down my spine when I listen to it. I love the uptempo vibe and the kick-in-the-butt positive aggression. It´s not a happy album, but it´s a cathartic one, and while it´s impossible to make the perfect album, we´re definitely getting closer to it."

What´s going on with you personally? "Life is lonely but filled with music. It´s my muse and my only friend apart from my taxidermy owls, bear and collection of shitty 80s movies I really haven´t done anything apart from music, there are no relationships and nothing to note apart from the album. Making it drove me nuts several times and left a scar, but I´m glad to bear it."

HIM first single Heartkiller cover



"I’ve just been working, no time in pubs honest," Ville said recently. "I've had no time to do anything besides this album. I’m not shitting you because I was on a personal mission to find out how much energy you can put into an album before you break. I didn’t break, but I was on the verge of it more than once. It was important to really live with the ideas rather than just going with the flow as we have in the past. The result is, I hope, something that will shake peoples’ asses."
Ville Valo for Rock Sound Magazine

"Úprimne, len som pracoval, ani v krčme som čas netrávil" vyjadril sa nedávno Ville. "Nemal som čas na nič okrem práce na albume. Nerobím si z teba prdel, bol som na osobnej misii zistiť koľko energie môžeš vložiť do albumu pred skolabovaním. Neskolaboval som ale niekoľko krát som bol na pokraji. Bolo skutočne dôležité žiť s nápadmi (inšpiráciou) ako len nechať sa unášať prúdom ako sme to robili v minulosti. Výsledok je, verím tomu, niečo čo ľudmi 'otrasie'."

"The world is as fucked whether you're sober or not!"

In new Kerrang! Magazine 25/11/2009 is interview with Ville Valo.
The scans you can find at
Valo Daily, below is translation into slovak....

Dve metafory ku ktorým sa spevák a skladateľ skupiny HIM vracia počas rozprávania o novom albume Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice:Prvou je pocit objavenia svetla na konci tunela, ale len do chvíle uvedomenia si, že to svetlo patrí skôr približujúcemu sa vlaku a hroziacej záhube ako svetlu spasenia. Druhá je viac prozaická. Je o akceptovaní skutočnosti že žiť život znamená prebárať sa hovnom a čím skôr si na to človek zvykne, tým lepšie.

2009/11/25

First singel from album Screamworks:Love in Theory And Practice will be Heart Killer !


.... and according to NME it will be released on February 1.
Metal Hammer wrote about this track following:
After an intro that sounds like it was put together on a Casio-keyboard, arena-sized guitars crash through the barricades. HIM are setting their stall out here, it’s the commercial know-how of Dark Light combined with the pace of Love Metal. There’s an epic building solo in the middle too, really impressive stuff.
For more from Screamworks track by track guide click here
Well, combination of Dark Light and Lovel Metal? Hmmm, it could be good sound... we will see, just to wait more than two months :-/ Who knows what our Ville prepared for us.. yeah, Metal Hammer at least (and some others...)

Prvým singlom z albumu Screamworks:Love in Theory And Practice bude Heart Killer, svetlo sveta v podobe singlu uzrie 1. februára. takže už len vydržať dva mesiace. Metal Hammer o tomto počine uviedol. že je to kombinácia Dark Light a Lovel Metal, takže je na čo sa tešiť :)

Ville Valo speaks about Screamworks for Metal Hammer

The debonair frontman explains how he felt like a ‘naked invisible man’ whilst making the band’s new album, ‘Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice’.

MH: In what way is this album the story of what’s happened to you since the last album?
Ville: “Actually this one is probably the most direct, diary-esque, in the sense that maybe through me fucking up a lot of my long term relationships in the past through excessive partying and just being a slob that I kind of lost faith when I stopped drinking, and I felt that there was no chance for a guy like me to find equilibrium or be at peace, or balance between those things. While starting to write for this album, I was on the verge of falling head over heels for a person. So I captured that moment on the album. Unfortunately I’m bad at saying it. I never really had the chance of telling her that. So she’ll hear the album a bit later and know how I felt then. It’s one way of doing it.”

Celtic Angel talked to Jussi69

... and they mentioned Ville Valo

CA: Was Ville at your show? Cause I know he is in LA.

Jussi: Ville Valo? He wasn´t there. I didn´t actually talked to him while I was there. He´s been busy with recording and ... we were actually in LA couple of months back at the same time... texting for like two weeks we´re in town and we´re going see each other...

The whole interview with 69eyes frontman is available for downloading at euro-rockradio page

CA: Bol Ville na vašej show? Viem že je v LA.

Jussi: Ville Valo? Nebol. V skutočnosti som s ním ani nehovoril počas doby čo som tam bol. Je zaneprázdnený nahrávaním a... pár mesiacov dozadu sme boli v LA v tom istom čase... písali si asi tak dva týždne že sme v meste a že sa stretneme...

Does Ville really like songs of Chisu?


According to interview with finish singer Chisu at The Voice radio, Ville Valo is her fan... actually she said, she knows that he likes one her song.
You can listen to the whole interview here
Well, I´m sure someone will translate more from that interview, with my bit of finish I´m able just catch some words and Ville´s name :)
Btw, here´s a link if you want to see her video... pretty "poppy", but not as bad as it could be... probably that finish lyrics it makes interesting.

V rozhovore rádia The Voice s fínskou speváčkou Chisu spomenuli, že Ville Valo je jej fan... popravde, povedala, že vie že sa mu páčila jedna jej skladba.
Celý rozhovor si môžete vypočuť tu.
Som si istá, že sa nájde niekto kto z toho rozhovoru preloží viac, ja s mojou fínčinou som tak akurát schopná zachytiť pár slov a Villeho meno :)

another twitter about Mige .... is Ville numb???

Mige Amour HIMI wonder, what it is that Matt Squire mostly reported about what Mige said. Don´t mess it, I really appreciate some news of this kind ... but, does it means that Ville is sitting somewhere in a corner playing with his ipod (as he mentioned in one interview he probable will do when....)?:))
Or is he so preoccupied by recording?
Well, whatever...
Matt reported today "Mige forgot his fortune cookies" :D

Zvažujem, čo za tým je, že Matt Squire väčšinou informuje o tom čo Migé vypustí s pusy. Nemýľte si to, skutočne oceňujem informácie tohto druhu... len, znamená to že Ville sedí schúlený niekde v rohu hrajúc sa so svojím iPodom (ako raz spomenul v jednom rozhovore že by tak spravil keby...)?:))
Alebo je tak zahĺbený do nahrávania?
Nuž, nech je akokoľvek...
Matt dnes reportoval že "Mige si zabudol svoje koláčiky šťastia" :D

Helldone 2009

According to Helldone Myspace there will be Helldone Festival place at, as every last years, Tavastia Club in Helsinki, starting December 28th until the 31st.
"We are still working on the lineup but hoping to be able to give you more info in the near future. Please be patient!!!"
I´m not sure how official this is cause I checked it at Tavastia pages and there is program just till December 19th.

Podľa Helldone Myspace sa bude konať Helldone festival, tak ako každý rok, v klube Tavastia v Helsinkách, od 28 do 31 decembra.
"Stále pracujeme na podrobnostiach ale veríme že vám budeme vedieť poskytnúť viac informácií v blízkej budúcnosti. Buďte trpetliví!!!"
Nie som si istá aká oficiálna je táto informácia pretože som to kontrolovala na stránkach Tavastie a program je zatiaľ uvedený do 19 decembra.

Tak verím že je to pravda...i keď je málo pravdepodobné že by som mala možnosť tam byť...

Will there be HIM Helldone tour 2009?

HIM-yhtyeen Ville Valo ei uskalla vielä varmistaa Helldone Festival -kiertueen tapahtuvan tänä vuonna.

Los Angelesissa tällä hetkellä oleva Valo kertoi yrittävänsä hoitaa turneen järjestelyjä sieltä käsin. Aikomuksena on järjestää tänäkin vuonna Helldone-kiertue.

- Toivon että suunnitelma tulee toteutumaan. Olemme kaikki työskennelleet hankkeen parissa ja kehittelemme parhaillaan erilaisia ideoita. Mutta jos liput eivät ole vielä myynnissä, ei kiertue ole vielä sataprosenttisen varma, Valo kertoi Euro-Rock Radion haastatelussa.

Valo kertoo olleensa yhteydessä kiertueen aikaisempiin yhteistyökumppaneihin. Rokkari kuitenkin kertoi keskittyvänsä tällä hetkellä uuden HIM-albumin tekoon ja antaa siksi muiden ihmisten hoitaa kiertueen järjestelyt.

Viime vuonna neljättä kertaa järjestetyllä Helldone-kiertueella oli mukana HIM:in lisäksi joukko muita tunnettuja yhtyeitä kuten The 69 Eyes ja Negative.

Source The Voice

Ville Valo sa neodvažuje naisto potvrdiť či sa bude v tomto roku konať Helldone tour.
V súčasnosti sa Ville nachádza v Los Angeles a preto turné zabezpečuje nadiaľku. Plán je aj tento rok zorganizovať Helldone.

- Dúfam, že sa to zrealizuje.Pracujeme na rôznych nápadoch. No pokiaľ nie sú ešte vstupenky na Helldone v predaji, nie je turné stopercentne isté, povedal Ville pre EuroRock Radio.

Aktuálne sa ale sústredia na produkciu nového albumu

Helldone sa konalo štyri roky po sebe, posledný rok okrem iných skupín sa ho zúčastnili aj 69 Eyes, či Negative.

Ville Valo for Roadie Crew magazine - Syyskuu ´09

The September issue of Brazilian magazine Roadie Crew addressed three pages to Finnish band HIM :) The Slovak translation of interview with Ville Valo is below:

Od neskorých 90. rokov, je svet svedkom rastu kapely z Helsínk, Fínska, ktorá postupne získava viac a viac priaznivcov svojím štýlom nazývaným "Love Metal", stavaným na základoch Metalu a Doom, prispôsobeným pre Goth a upevňovaný prvkami novej vlny 80. rokov popu a hard rocku. To všetko v kombinácii s romanticko-depresívnymi textami speváka Ville Hermanni Valo, teraz považovaného za veľkú ikonu tejto generácie hudby všeobecne. Presne ten Ville, s ktorým sme mali možnosť hovoriť počas jedného fínskeho letného dna a adresovať mu otázky ohľadne ťažšieho zvuku ich posledného albumu "Venus Doom", DVD "Digital Versatile Doom", desať rokov "Razorblade Romance" a samozrejme, o ďalšom štúdiovom albume, ktorý vyjde budúci rok. So zmyslom pre humor, spevák/skladateľ, otvorený v odpovediach, odhalil množstvo informácií, ktoré budú mať pre fanúšikov určite veľkú hodnotu.

Venus Doom cover

HIM Venus Doom album coverJust something for information about latest released album Venus Doom, the cover for this album find Ville in New Orleans. Probably you already know that :)
This painting is from men called Harouni.
After buying the art piece, Valo asked Harouni if he could use it as a cover of album, and, after listening some songs from Him, the artist agreed.
Also in one interview Ville said that this painting hang now in his living room where he has great atmosphere for lyrics writing. (if I will find that interview transcription I will post here exactly what he said....)

Len niečo informatívne ohľadne naposledy vydaného albumu Venus Doom, obal pre tento album našiel Ville v New Orleans. Pravdepodobne toto ale viete :)
Obraz je od muža menom Harouni.
Po kúpe tohto umeleckého diela sa Valo opýtal Harouni či ho môže použiť ako obal albumu, a, po vypočutí nejakých skladieb Him, umelec súhlasil.
Taktiež v jednom rozhovore Ville povedal že daný obraz mu teraz visí v jeho obývacej izbe kde má skvelú atmosféru pre písanie textov. (pokiaľ daný rozhovor nájdem, uvediem sem presne čo povedal....)

Update - Ville's interview on Euro-rockradio

Posted by admin on September 1, 2009
I had a feeling this might happen but don’t worry it’s nothing bad. Slight change in plans, instead of Ville being live on the air it will be a pre-recorded interview with him. Why you might ask? Well Ville is due in the studio during our show time and apparently the cell phone signal sucks there so we’ll be chatting with him earlier in the day and recording it. We’ll still be asking the questions that are emailed in, though obviously any chance of calling into the show won’t happen now. Maybe next time.
