Mika “Gas” Karppinen could not be any happier with HIM’s sixth studio-album. ‘Venus Doom’ is fullblooded band-album,which was borned besides inside Ville Valo’s head,but also when guitarist Mikko “Linde” Lindström injured his arm back in winter 2006. -”Back then,3 of us who were still standing,went jamming and Ville was playing guitar instead of Linde.Those tapes from that session,we later found a lot of material for the new songs.From that point of view,that Linde’s thing was like a disaster turned in to a fortune.”,drummer says. HIM’s heaviest and roughest album echoes the spirit of Black Sabbath.Though,the song that has been planned to be an opening track of the album,title song Venus Doom,attacks on to your face like Pantera or Slipknot on their earlier years.Gas’ personal favourites,besides that titletrack,are slightly over 10 minute-piece Sleepwalking Past Hope,and a ballad Cyanide Sun.To the song mentioned last,he also has a personal ‘relationship’,same way that Ville does. -”Ville has had some hard times on the couple of past years,so our stuff is now darker.You can hear this especially from the lyrics of Cyanide Sun.That track became personal thing to myself,too.My good friend died in a car accident the day before my drumming sessions for the album were about to begin.I decided,that this isn’t the right time to grief and i just started working like a maniac.The last song we recorded was Cyanide Sun,and i played that with tears in my eyes.” One thing that makes Karppinen happy is,that alongside with many guitarsolos there’s also a little show-off’s from the bassist Mikko “Mige” Paananen and from himself on the album. -”Ville gave me one direction before the drum recordings started..’Get dirty!’”
