Levyä on siis tuoksi päiväksi suunniteltu julkaistavan. Ilmeisesti levy tulee olemaan reilusti erilainen. Lisätietoa: http://heartagram.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/932109416/m/4741018512/p/9

Sivuilta löytyy myös seuraava teksti, jossa on lyhyt kuvaus viidestä kappaleesta, jotka ovat jo valmiita.

'Love in Cold Blood'

Doomy, Cathedra-worshipping guitars and a heavy crunch kick off this primal dirge. This is the heaviest HIM have ever sounded, until a gorgeously catchy chorus channels them into more familiar territory-sounding territory.



'The Kiss of Dawn'

Valo describes it as their Metallica moment and he isn't kidding. It's mean, dirty, and has some of the heaviest sounds to ever come out of the Finnish quintet. This is Valo at his most primal.



'Dead Lovers' Lane'

Infectious as fuck and probably the most 'Dark Light' sounding song of the demo, and though unproduced a singularly lonely piano undercuts the richly layered wall of guitar and bass sounds. Dark? "It's always dark," says Valo.



'Bleed Well'

A ballad but of the darkest kind, it sounds as if Valo's Baritone has dropped an octave and as if he's bleeding from the heart himself. It isn't happy by any stretch – it's almost as if the usual wryness of Valo's lyrics is absent here; the he's poured genuine pain into the microphone.



'Passion's Killing Floor'

Originally chosen to be the album's title-track and replete with all the hallmarks of HIM's highly embellished sound, it opens with Ville crooning 'My heart's a graveyard' and 'at first kiss the seeds of hatred are sown.' Valo denies he's speaking autobiographically here. As he sees it, he's speaking for anyone who's ever kissed anyone.
