Thanks to HIM Supporters for pointing out this article on their blog here is a review from a pretty damn cool site called UnderTheGunReview.net. Read more below…

Artist: HIM
Album: Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice
Genre: Goth Rock
Label: Sire

Finnish “love metal” band HIM are finally back with their 7th studio album, Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice. The album has a due date of February 9th, 2010 here in the states, but let me tell you that it’s probably in your best interest to start preparing now as this is easily the band’s best work in quite some time.

Beginning with the near pop punk intro chords of “In Venere Veritas,” we quickly find HIM to not only be back on the scene, but with more energy than we’ve seen from them in quite awhile. Ville Valo comes across early as Matt Skiba did during the Good Mourning years of Alk Trio with his emotion-drained vocals and borderline graphic storytelling that is only amplified by the near perfected instrumentation of tracks like the late 80’s goth rock jam “Scared to Death” or the much progressive [and lead single], “Heartkiller.” The band swings in and out of rock subgenres with flawless progression that truly displays just how versatile they’ve become over the past 7 albums.

And from a tweet I made earlier:

From: Billboard.com

HIM frontman Ville Valo says that “accessibility was a key factor” in making the Finnish hard rockers’ seventh studio album, “Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice,” which is due out Feb. 9.

Acknowledging that the 13-song set is the group’s most “straightforward” and hook-filled release yet, Valo tells Billboard.com that he wanted “Screamworks” to “kind of have the similar vibe as Depeche Mode’s classic albums such as ‘Violator’ and ‘Songs of Faith and Devotion’ — brooding, melancholy albums but they still make you want to dance. The big picture production view I had was to have the rock in there so you could drink a beer and do all things legal and illegal but then hopefully have that more poetic and sensitive sensibility in there as well.”

Valo, however, might not be hoisting his own glass while listening to the album. “I quit drinking — not for good but for awhile — about two and a half years ago,” he says. “This is the first album I wrote fully sober, and I wanted to put all the energy I used to put into hanging out in pubs into working on the music. So it was pretty insane, working 18-hour days for the past year, year and a half. We really went for all those details and didn’t leave any stone unturned. Hopefully it shows.”
