 HIM releases their seventh album with the clear ambition to venture into previously untouched territories.

 The impression is that the singer has chosen a path hardly navigable for his band, and personally, I can only wish for a return to the dark and decadent sounds.

HIM’s seventh album, Screamworks: Love in Practice and Theory, departs from their traditional gothic doom style for a brighter, pop-rock sound. Produced by Matt Squire, this change divides fans, as many find it repetitive and overly cheerful. While some tracks like ‘Acoustic Funeral’ stand out with genuine emotion, the album overall struggles to recapture the band’s earlier magic. The reviewer hopes for a return to darker tones in the future. Discover the bold evolution of HIM’s sound in Screamworks—listen now and decide if you embrace their new direction or crave the classic gloom.
