"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.

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.

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.”
