Finnish rockers HIM have announced this morning they're set to release their new album 'Tears On Tape' on April 26 through Cooking Vinyl's imprint DoubleCross.
Speaking of the album, Ville Valo has said:
"Cooking Vinyl’s history speaks for itself and for some unfathomable reason they have clearly understood HIM’s rather perverse musical fetishes (which is as rare as hen’s teeth !). DoubleCross (of the inverted kind) here we come!”
The band are also set to play an intimiate show at London's Dingwalls on April 26. Tickets for that go on sale at 9am on Monday February 18 from this link.
Warning, this competition might not be for bearded men who listen to doom. We might be wrong, we just got a feeling about this one!
