HIM will release their first-ever official live CD/DVD, entitled Digital Versatile Doom: Live At the Orpheum Theatre XXXVII A.S. on Sire Records on April 29th, 2008.
The package captures the band's explosive 90-minute show filmed at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theatre on Nov, 14 and 15, 2007, while extras allow fans to go behind the scenes both onstage and off with frontman Ville Valo.
Digital Versatile Doom features live versions of songs from HIM's current album Venus Doom, including the singles "The Kiss of Dawn," "Passion's Killing Floor," and "Bleed Well," as well as their music videos. The DVD also features tracks off the band's 2005 U.S. debut, the gold-certified Dark Light, including "Rip Out the Wings of a Butterfly" and "Killing Loneliness."
Other extras on the DVD include band interviews, fan contest clips, and the music videos for "Bleed Well," "Venus Doom," and "The Kiss of Dawn." The concert and several of the videos were directed by MTV and Grammy-Award winning director Meiert Avis, known for his work with U2, Audioslave, Bruce Springsteen, and Avril Lavigne.
