Finnish love metal outfit HIM have revealed they are preparing to release a compilation album, with the band additionally set to enter the recording studio next month to begin work on a new studio album.
HIM, through vocalist Ville Valo, updated fans on their Facebook page recently:
"As some of you might've noticed, we'll be releasing a compilation album "XX - Two Decades Of Love Metal" in October 2012, and will end the year by shaking our hips for four nights in a row at the infamous HELLDONE-festival at Tavastia Club in Helsinki.
We're also entering the studio in early September with the producer Hiili Hiilesmaa to work on our ninth full-length album, entitled 'Tears On Tape', to be mixed by Tim Palmer and released early 2013....
Ta ta for now,
V"
