HIM Screamworks Review, Along With Another Movie Store Closing And More.

Coming off my Valentine's Day blog last week, I've been growing increasingly depressed.  First of all, if you think that blog was depressed, obviously you don't know me very well but I can see how it was a downer.  But honestly I wasn't as bummed as I normally am during V-Day due to being more paranoid about paying for car repairs.  But now that that's over with and the sticker shock is worn off (though I am mad about having to devote most of my tax refund to it), I think the Valentine's Day depression is coming a week late.  Honestly I was fine earlier this week then suddenly it all snuck up on me at once and I couldn't sleep (which is VERY rare for me) and I was getting major headaches from the stress.  So, with all of this stress caused by a holiday celebrating love while I'm suffering from a severe lack of it, I find it a tad bit ironic that I'm reviewing an album that focuses on love by one of my favorite bands.  Much like most American fans, I discovered HIM (short for His Infernal Majesty though they don't really acknowledge that anymore) due to Bam Margera's rabid fandom and his flashing of the iconic "Heartagram" at any opportunity.  And while constant shilling has died down in recent years, that hasn't stopped HIM from releasing albums stateside, the most recent of which being "Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice - Chapters 1-13."
