Him * VENUS DOOM * Original Music Poster Large 2' x 2' Rare 2007. For the Sept. 18th 2007 Album Release of " Venus Doom ". Venus Doom is the sixth studio album by Finnish rock band HIM, scheduled for release on September 14, 2007 (Germany & Ireland), September 17, 2007 internationally and September 18, 2007 in the US. According to frontman Ville Valo, it will be their heaviest album yet. Venus Doom will still be comprised of Valo's allegorical lyrics, comparable to HIM's older albums. He has also noted that the music on Venus Doom will be comparable to Metallica and My Bloody Valentine. The longest song on the album is 10 minutes long, while the shortest song is 4 and a half minutes. The album was produced by Tim Palmer (Ozzy Osbourne, Dredg) and Hiili Hiilesmaa (The 69 Eyes, Apocalyptica). Ville Valo told Kerrang! magazine that one might find a concept running through a couple of the tracks because a few of them were written at the same time. The dramatic cover art was painted by artist David Harouni. Ville Valo purchased one of Harouni's paintings at New Orleans' Harouni Gallery and later asked Harouni if it could be used as the cover for "Venus Doom." The Band started a contest for a new Venus Doom cover which was posted on HIM's Street Team site, telling fans to use Harouni's painting as the starting point to make a new cover for Venus Doom. It is unknown if the new cover will be the default album cover or if it will be the album cover on a Special or Limited Edition version of Venus Doom.
