Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice
The following is a new interview with Ville from Metal Hammer:
You’ve already read about our track-by-track guide to the new HIM album, now we speak to Ville Valo about what he’s calling HIM’s most sexual album!
Ville Valo has spoken to Metal Hammer about the band’s new album ‘Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice’ and he describes it as the band’s most sexual work to date!
Hammer: It feels like a very horny album.
Ville Valo: “Lyrically, it’s the most sexual one, the most horny one, we’ve ever made. The horny and the horned. Like the Impaled Nazarene song. It’s got that and a sense of immediacy: ‘I want it now, now, now’. It’s not about being poetic or forlorn about something that is about to happen, it’s actually about something that is happening at this very moment in time.”
“I like the immediacy of it. There’s a lot of information put in short songs and they don’t let go. That was the whole vibe for me. You should have seen me working the vocals out in the middle of the night, amongst my taxidermy owls in the tower screaming my guts out, unable to stop until 9am and then sleeping on a couch for two hours before starting again. So the whole process of the album is very close to that mental boner that just didn’t go away.”
