HIM's Tears On Tape arrives on clear vinyl, a fitting see-through frame for the Finnish band's final studio album and one of its most muscular.
Released in 2013, the record came after a long gap and a run of setbacks for Ville Valo and company, and it plays like a band rediscovering why it formed in the first place. The love metal formula that made HIM stars across Europe is all here, the gothic romance and heart-on-sleeve melancholy, but the riffs hit harder and the songs get to the point faster. The band would split a few years later, which gives this set an unexpected weight as a closing chapter.
Valo's baritone remains the center of gravity, crooning and brooding over slabs of downtuned guitar. "All Lips Go Blue" rides a thick, swaggering groove, while "Into the Night" pairs a pounding rhythm with one of the album's most immediate choruses. The title track, "Tears On Tape", is pure HIM, a lovelorn hook draped in velvet and distortion. Brief interludes thread through the running order, giving the album a theatrical pace.
For fans who wore out Razorblade Romance or Dark Light, this is the sound of the band going out with its heartagram held high and its amplifiers turned all the way up, and the clear pressing makes a striking keepsake.
