Finnish rockers HIM have unleashed their definitive live collection entitled Digital Versatile Doom, Live from the Orpheum Theatre. This is their first commercially released live album and DVD set (as opposed to Live and Undercover which is a bootleg)
If you have never been to a HIM concert then this DVD is the ultimate appetizer. It’s packed with bonus features such as, behind the scenes footage at the show, a series of interviews with band members, and a collage of fan videos to name but a few.
The CD opens with a track from 2007’s Venus Doom - Passion’s Killing Floor. The band also showcase songs from their back catalogue spanning their 10 year+ history, with songs such as the metal infused rendition of the Chris Isaak classic - Wicked Games, from 1997’s Greatest Love Songs Vol 666.
The CD / DVD set presents itself as a limited edition; The artwork has a striking metallic finish, with a black crow summoned on the microphone, and on the reverse side is the trademark symbol of him - the heartagram. The set also contains a 6" X 4" flipbook, and the images are from HIM's live performance of Sleepwalking Past Hope at the concert.
A big hats off to Director Meiert Avis, Ian Charbonneau for recording the DVD /CD at the Orpheum Theatre, and Tim Palmer for mixing and audio production.
