Brazilian reporter Mayra Dias Gomes has posted the following interview in her blog:

“About a month ago, shortly after returning from Vegas, I published on my column a summary of my latest conversation with H.I.M. front man Ville Valo.  You can easily find a scan of that online, as many of the H.I.M. fan sites posted it and translated it, but I cannot post the actual text which is owned my newspaper, Folha de São Paulo. Since I am fully aware of how passionate H.I.M. fans are, I promised to post the transcript of our conversation, which happened about thirty minutes before Ville went onstage.. .”  click here to read the full transcript

 RICH HEARTBREAKER

HIM’s latest album Venus Doom didn’t sell nearly as much as Dark Light, which earned a gold record in the US. With the new album Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice, Ville Valo puts on a poppier gear. Will the change of style help the sales figures shoot up again?
