Senghe, my Heartagram edition of Screamworks arrived the other day, and I think the album is fucking brilliant. Venus Doom never totally won me over, but the new disc just has everything I love about the band in bucket loads. My favourite tracks are Disarm Me, Scared To Death and Acoustic Funeral - all the schmoltzy ones! There is so much melody on the record, it's a full on eargasm and yes, it's so imediate. Loving it, can't wait to see them in Manchester next month. I knew the album was there if I wanted to hear it, but I wanted to hear it for the first time on my decent speakers, as a whole, without clicking around.

My bro saw InMe in Manc a couple of days back - they played Master Storm! He said the sound wasn't great (bad venue) and Dave admitted he'd hit a lot of dud notes. But I'm sure they're just getting back into it, and I bet Gaz was pretty nervous as well.

Me too. Last time I saw HIM Ville was dying on his feet of a throat/chest infection. They have pretty fucking decent support band too. Last time I got pished in the pub while the support band were on and wandered in about 10 minutes before HIM hit the stage. I actually can't believe how quickly I fell in love with Dommin. The album is fantastic and the tracks on their MySpace page don't do it justice as it's far more varied in style with a bit of rockabilly, ballads and tracks tinged with Type O Negative at one end (Love Is Gone) and Depeche Mode at the other (Honestly) but not in a plagiaristic way. That guy might have a stupid haircut, but my god his vocals and visceral honesty in the lyrics make up for that. I can't gush enough about it and from the stuff on YouTube they are amazing live.

I so wish I'd gone to see InMe but I felt really crap that day and wasn't sure the band would be onstage before the last train home as there was a huge list of bands on that night. Turns out it ended about 11 and I'm pig sick about not going now. I've seen the vid or Master Storm on YouTube - that song is absolutely epic and I'm suprised they could pull it off live. I think Dave is hard on himself as singing and fret tapping simultaneously takes some skill. Didn't sound too dire and Gazz looked/sounded like he fitted right in. Hopefully they'll come back locally in May as they seem to be booking more gigs for then.
