HIM tours the USA again.... finally.

It's been a long time since Finland's HIM graced us with their presence. And in case you didnt realize, they actually sell more records in the USA than any band in Finland's history.  Since I am a huge fan of Hanoi Rocks and Finntroll I am sad to hear they are out selling them..... but I am not surprised. The ones I love arent as much of a teenie bopper band, and when it comes to sales that is KEY.   The band I think could legitemitely compete with HIM's fame is probably Children of Bodom, but since they are straight up metal, inevitablely it won't sell as much.

Anyway, HIM has got this new album out Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice which will be released in the USA on February 9. The following tour is to support that album (duh).
