HIM will be
IRON MAIDEN frontman
Bruce Dickinson's guests on Friday, September 28 (pushed back from previously announced September 21) during
Bruce's weekly
BBC 6 Music radio show, aptly named
"The Bruce Dickinson Friday Rock Show". Listen to the program live via the Internet between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. U.K. time at
BBC.co.uk.
HIM's new album,
"Venus Doom", is scheduled for release in North America on September 18 via
Sire. The CD was recorded with producer
Tim Palmer (
U2,
SWITCHFOOT,
HOT HOT HEAT) and co-producer
Hiili Hiilesmaa at
Finnvox Studios in Finland.
With
"Venus Doom", the band's sixth album,
HIM fans can anticipate a decisively heavier sound, influenced by
BLACK SABBATH, old-school
METALLICA and
SOUNDGARDEN, among others.
