ALBUM INFO.
'SCREAMWORKS: Love in Theory and Practice', HIM's seventh album, was released on 9, Feb. 2010, in the U.S.
In a June, 2009 interview with Renegade Radio, Valo had stated the new album name would be 'SCREAMWORKS: Love in Theory and Practice'.
It was also stated that they had chosen Matt Squire as the producer for the album & recording would start in Los Angeles, in August.
August 3, 2009, was the first day in the studio with Matt Squire, as was posted on the producer's Twitter page.
The album title was inspired by frontman Valo's relationship that has since ended. He told Kerrang!: "It's a sonic diary of that (affair). The album's also about both the theoretical and practical aspects of relationships which are an impossible problem to resolve. 'Screamworks' represents a cathartic, primal scream; it's a big middle finger; it's a fuck off, I want to do what I want to do."
