The album was produced by Matt Squire (Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Saosin) and mixed by Neal Avron (Linkin Park, Weezer, Fall Out Boy).

Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice is HIM’s seventh studio album and the follow-up to 2007’s Venus Doom, which debuted at No. 12 in the U.S. and was nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best Boxed/Special Limited Edition Packaging.” In 2007, HIM, which is Ville Valo (vocals), Mige (bass), Linde (guitar), Burton (keyboards), and Gas (drums) supported Metallica in Europe before joining the Linkin Park-headlined Projekt Revolution tour across America, and headlined its own U.S. theater tour.
