Well guys and gals if you didn't know it already then I guess I'm just the right person to give you all a heads up on Diminished 7 second album entitled HOLLOW HAVEN. This album is scheduled for released in October 2012.

Release Date:
October 2012


In 2007 Diminished 7 was created in Los Angeles by Alex Crescioni (lead vocals). Since then they have released their first album Dim World 11/10/2009 and two separate singles one called Dim Girl 05/11/2010 and the other Queen In Nuclear Rain 01/17/2012.

Single

Single

Album
11/10/2009



So far Diminished 7 is the only Los Angeles based band (that I know) to have successful hone in a very original American Gothic Rock style apart from the Euro/Scandinavian sound. They do have musical influences from such Scandinavian band such as The 69 Eyes, HIM, Negative & The Rasums but its very clear  that they have they have a very distinct lyrical style and sound about them.

Alex Crescioni - Vocals
Scott Manthei - Guitar
William Liermann - Drums

Via Official HIM Street Teams

Official HIM Street Teams: New HIM update Via Kelly Crawford (Euro-Rock Radio)

Ok clarification on a few things from Seppo:

1) Release date for XX is Oct 26 in Finland. Distribution of a physical CD worldwide is still being worked on. At this time there's not a US release date. Though iTunes will of course have it, we'll have to wait and see on physical CDs in other countries, though you can always buy it online from Finnish stores I'm sure. I'll keep you posted on US release dates, etc.

2) Sony is only releasing the XX compilation. Forthcoming new album distribution/label is still open and they are looking forward to a simultaneous release worldwide. Right now the release is tentatively scheduled for March 2013.

As I get more info from Seppo as things progress I'll let everyone know!
