| }} ''Dark Light'' is the fifth studio album by the Finnish band, HIM. This album was released on 26 September 2005 internationally and on 27 September 2005 in the USA with a limited edition pre-release of 20,000 some days before. ==Overview== The album was released in stores, with a glossy black plastic wrap covering the front, so in order to see the real cover, one needed to purchase it. This album was originally supposed to be produced and mixed by Andy Wallace, an accomplished American producer, but vocalist Ville Valo said he made HIM sound too "American" and they fired him, hiring Tim Palmer with whom they had worked before on ''Love Metal'' and ''And Love Said No''. The first single released from the album was "Wings of a Butterfly," and the second single was "Killing Loneliness." The album charted at #18 in both the U.S. and in the UK. In Germany, ''Dark Light'' reached #4 . The Special Digibook Edition was limited to 50,000 copies. The Heartagram Internet Edition was limited to 20,000 copies and came in a tin case with a 24-page booklet with handwritten lyrics by the band's lead singer, Ville Valo, a certificate of authenticity and a keychain laser pen that shines the Heartagram, the band's logo. ''Dark Light'' was the first Finnish album to sell gold in the United States, meaning it has sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., and 1,500,000 copies worldwide. The album peaked at number 18 on the Billboard 200.〔http://www.allmusic.com/artist/him-mn0000577091/awards〕It was rated #9 in Metal Hammer's albums of the decade . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dark Light (HIM album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
