“I think Ville and I share similar interests in a lot of the more esoteric things” says Dan, “so working on the art was an intense and exciting collaboration…”.

A fortunate few fans that snapped up tickets for the band’s recently announced show at London’s Dingwalls – which sold out in a matter of minutes – will get their first taste of tears on April 26th. The rest will be looking forward to HIM’s appearance at Download festival on Friday 14th June.
