Music reviews of Digital Versatile Doom: Live at the Orpheum Theater

Music Review: Digital Verstatile Doom: HIM in Concert
Rating: 5 Stars

Recorded at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, during the tour to support the Venus Doom album, the songs featured here are a strong representation of the HIM's catalogue. The playing here is tight, making for some truly wonderful recordings. Valo's voice is in fine form, sounding almost as good on the stage as he does in the studio (which is rather amazing, considering that he chain smokes throughout the concert). While Valo is the dynamic face of the band, and a charasmatic frontman without a doubt, the other members of HIM also demonstrate their ability to be sharp, precise musicians in a live setting. While they aren't slaves to the exact arrangements of the studio recordings, most of these tracks don't veer too far afield of their original versions. Still, the few times they do deviate, it takes the tunes to a new level, offering a fresh take.

Of course, the real gem for HIM fans is the DVD. The concert itself is actually an amalgam of two different nights played at the Orpheum (November 14 and 15 of 2007, for you trivia buffs), but the action here is seamless. You'd be hard pressed to tell what songs were recorded on what nights, and ultimately...who cares? Meiert Avis's direction brings a lush look to the proceedings, highlighting the beauty of the Orpheum itself (I've personally never set foot in this building, but I was impressed with the stunning look of the theater). While Valo is the focal point, naturally, the band is highlighted as well. They function well as a unit, and there is a sense that the band members have a strong camaraderie between them. The DVD has the advantage of not being limited to the time restraints of a CD, so the extra tracks of "Right Here In My Arms" and "VDO (Venus Doom Outro)" are included. "Sleepwalking Past Hope" is also longer on the DVD, with an extended arrangement.

Also included on the DVD is a wealth of extras that fans will love. Videos for "Bleed Well", "Passion's Killing Floor", "Venus Doom", "Love In Cold Blood", "Cyanide Sun", "The Kiss Of Dawn" and "Dead Lover's Lane" are all included, as well as interviews, a fan photo gallery and the winner of the "HIM's Big Fan" contest. All in all, it really is a must for any fan of HIM.
