Photographer: David Roemer.
Finnish goth rockers His Infernal Majesty's seventh studio album was built around one of pop music's most ubiquitous themes, heartache. Breakups have been throwing artists into alternating fits of feverish work and hopeless despondency since time immemorial, resulting in both great works and self-absorbed descents into bloated narcissism. Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice is a little bit of both. The group's penchant for melodramatic late-'80s/early-'90s melodic alt-rock in the vein of New Model Army, Dream Theater, and Mission UK serves as an efficient yet predictable vehicle to deliver the primal scream that is heartbreak, and songs like "In Venere Veritas," "Heartkiller," and "Katherine Wheel" deliver the goods with solid hooks and appropriate gravitas. Overall, the material sits within the band's canon well enough to please longtime fans, and listeners looking for some kind of middle ground between Evanescence, late-period Queensr˜che, and Fall Out Boy will more than likely find a few wicked gems to hang their heads to. ~ James Christopher Monger
Professional Reviews
Spin (p.86) - "[They sound] like a pro forma emo-fed hard-rock band with some likably silly Euro-doom flourishes."
Alternative Press (p.90) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "When the band are a little more concrete and less spooky, the results are especially compelling....Ultimately successful in its blending of melody and muscle."
Billboard - "[T]he album represents a move away from the band's heavy metal history toward a more pop-friendly sound."

although some may say that they do not like this album,
i beleieve that it is GREAT! & that HIM are deffinatley creating very different music (but in a good way)
there are so many songs on this album that i love, i cannot pick just a few as my favourites, they are all great.
the sound of this album is quite different from the last 'Venus Doom', but is (in some ways) similar to HIM's past albums.
LOVE this album & recommend this to anyone.
10 ou of 10 heartagrams!!

The deluxe version of this album is sensational! It has all the same tracks as the normal version but as a bonus it comes with another disc of exactly the same songs in acoustic format! And boy do these acoustic versions have a whole different feeling to it altogether! It's raw, and less refined studio recordings which makes it more intimate to listen to because you feel like you are right there when HIM were recording them. Even though you own the normal version, the acoustic versions are worth listening to so grab this album too. Amazing!
