Premiere\\ HIM: 'All Lips Go Blue' Video Released

"All Lips Go Blue" , the new video from Finnish "love" metallers HIM, can be seen below. The song comes off the band's new album, "Tears On Tape", which was released on April 30 via Razor & Tie in North America and on April 29 through DoubleCross (Cooking Vinyl's specialist rock imprint) in the U.K. and Ireland. The "love metal" act's eighth official album was recorded at Helsinki's Finnvox Studios with longtime producer Hiili Hiilesmaa (APOCALYPTICA, AMORPHIS, MOONSPELL) and was mixed in London, England by Tim Palmer, who previously helmed 2005's "Dark Light" and 2007's "Venus Doom".

In addition to the 13 new tracks, the very exclusive and very limited "fanpack", presented by Metal Hammer magazine and DoubleCross Records features some not-to-be-found-anywhere-else content. Exclusively available from April 29 for four weeks, it comes with a bespoke 132-page magazine edited by frontman Ville Valo himself that plays as the ultimate sleeve notes to the album.

The album's artwork was described by artist Daniel P. Carter as having come about via "a series of strange coincidences involving Lee Dorrian, sacred geometry and the ramblings of a madman."

HIM's North American tour, which was due to kick off in West Hollywood on May 3 at the House Of Blues, was canceled after the band's lead vocalist, Ville Valo, was diagnosed with severe asthma with presumptive pneumonia.

HIM's manager, Seppo Vesterinen of Hinterland, Inc., told BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding the tour cancelation: "Ville has asthma and he got a pretty serious attack in the backstage at House Of Blues [in West Hollywood] on Friday and there was no way to perform. We got a doctor to the hotel at midnight and he diagnosed signs of pneumonia and prescribed antibiotics. The situation wasn't better on Saturday and we had to decide to cancel these dates to give him time for proper treatment and rest. He's being treated by best doctors in L.A. and we hope to continue the summer and fall as planned. Also he's been under a lot of stress for months recording the new album, artwork and promo for three different labels. Before Ville is fine, we can't make any definite plans for rescheduling these May dates. Ville and all of us feel really sorry for the fans who have bought tickets months ago and traveled long distances from Brazil, Canada and elsewhere."

HIM's current lineup is Ville Valo (vocals), Mikko "Linde" Lindström (guitar), Mikko "Migé" Paananen (bass), Janne "Burton" Puurtinen (keyboards), and Mika "Gas" Karppinen (drums). The band is managed by Seppo Vesterinen at Hinterland, Inc. and represented for U.S. touring by Justin Hirschman/AGI.

SEFOTEU \\ HIM Guitarist Engaged To TONY IOMMI's Daughter

Mikko "Linde" Lindström, guitarist for the Finnish "love metal" band HIM, became engaged to Toni-Marie Iommi, HALO/ex-LUNARMILE singer and daughter of BLACK SABBATH guitar legend Tony Iommi, on Friday, August 13.

Lindström, 34, has a seven-year-old daughter named Olivia with his ex-wife, Finnish singer Mariam "Manna" Jäntti.

Toni, 27, was born in Solihull, United Kingdom and spent the first few years of her life living with her mother who is part native American. At the age of 15, she moved to England to live with her father.

In an interview with His Inernal Magazine, the online magazine of HIM - The Crimson Gate Official Italian Street Team, Toni stated about her upbringing, "Moving to live with my father has been a great turn for the good. My father, being a well-respected musician, taught me so much about life and music.

"People say to me, 'Wow! You are so lucky to have Tony Iommi as your father.' That always makes me laugh. Yes, I am lucky! What people don't see [is that] my father is DAD. To me, just like any other father, he sets rules, he worries about me when I'm out and about and he wants what's best for me, etc."

When asked how she would describe her father as a person, Toni said, "To sum my father up in so many words would be he is a very generous guy whose heart is never black, but loving and warm. He loves animals and is very grounded as a person. He loves jokes and pranks!



"Living at home with dad was sometimes annoying. I say that only as a daughter to her father. Just when I'd think it was safe, dad would pull a prank on me! His favorite of all... Opening my bedroom door just enough to make a gap, then he would balance a shoe in the top corner. As soon as I'd push the door open, it would fall from the top and scare the hell out of me! So, not only is dad talented but he is an amazing father and person."

Toni currently resides in Finland with Lindström and fronts a new band called HALO (MySpace page), which also features three Finnish guys and a British girl.
