The band released today a press statement, announcing there will be no Helldone Festival this year (source: Helldone Festival

Dear friends, 1(2)
as a band, we had agreed right from the start that the New Year’s shows would be on if, and only if, we have new songs to present you. There have indeed emerged exciting ideas for songs - all we would need was time to work on them.
You see, originally we had agreed to give our various side projects the precedence this year. In our wildest dreams we thought we could maybe manage both tasks!
First of the side projects is Linde’s band Daniel Lioneye, that also has Mige and Burton in its ranks. The band’s third album, appropriately titled “Vol. III”, is out now and the guys are going to be touring it in the fall. The European leg of the tour will end in mid-December...
…and, you guessed it, that doesn’t leave us with the time we would need to finish some new material before New Year’s Eve. There would be no point in ‘rush-releasing’ the new songs, playing them in an embryonic state. We strongly feel they deserve more – and so do indeed you!
Hence, no Helldone shows this year.
(Oh yeah, there are also a couple of… hmm… Mystery Projects in the works. More of them later!)
HIM would like to thank you for your continuing support – see you again in 2017! Helldone will return!!
Ville, Linde, Mige, Burton, Jukka

An article about the new video of Ville Valo "Olet Mun Kaikuluotain" has been published today on Ilta Sanomat, along with the new video .
HERE the article in Finnish. Our translation:
The lead singer of HIM sings the legendary "Olet mun Kaikuluotain". It s'the first song published by the finnish label Love Records in thirty years.
On Monday, Ville Valo released the song "Olet Mun Kaikuluotain", followed by a video released today.
"It was my favorite song when I was younger" said Valo "It was the soundtrack of sleepless nights when you cry yourself to sleep. Even now it gives me goose bumps."
The video, directed by Ykä Järvinen, is a tribute to Calamari Union by Aki Kaurismaki, and was shot in the streets of Helsinki, in the districts of Kallio and Eira.
The song was released for the 50th anniversary of Love Records and has been interpreted for the first time by Freeman in 1976. It's the Finnish version of Annie's Song by John Denver.
