HIM Coming To North America

Goth girls and boys! You'll be able to make googly eyes at Ville Valo from the front row very soon because Finnish hard rockers HIM will tour North America in March, April and May.

The band will be out in support of the upcoming Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice, which will be released Feb. 9. Ex-Evanescencers We Are The Fallen, Dommin and Drive A will open all the dates.

Tickets will be available in a pre-sale on the band's website beginning Wednesday (Jan. 20). They'll either be available until Jan. 22 and 23, when tickets go on sale to the public, or until they're gone.

VIP packages, which will include a deluxe version of Screamworks and a limited-edition lithograph of its artwork, will be available. They'll also get you into the venues early.

You can see the video for "Heartkiller," Screamworks' first single, here.
