Thursday Tracks: HIM, Priestess, Marina and the Diamonds, Demi Lovato

Tuesday Tracks just didn't happen this week, so here's Thursday tracks, as I showcase four of the hottest songs around just now.


First up on Thursday tracks this week is the return of Finnish love metal superstars HIM. The band's seventh album "Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice" hits shelves (and download sits) on February the 8th and looks set to be their best yet if lead single "Heartkiller" is anything to go by.




Secondly this week are Canadian stoner metal architects Priestess. Second album "Prior to the Fire" is out on February the 1st, having already seen a limited release in Canada at the tail end of last year. Following on from the brilliant "Hello Master", here's a taster with the excellent "Raccoon Eyes"




24 year old Welsh singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis, aka Marina and the Diamonds has been making waves for a while now with a couple of EPs and singles already released and coming in runner up in BBC's Sound of 2010 poll, hings are starting to look up. Debut album "The Family Jewels" is due for release on February 22nd, and is preceeded next week by the brilliant "Hollywood" single. It might take a couple of listens, but you will love it.




Finally this week is Disney teen princess Demi Lovato, and one of the most surprising songs of the year. Due for release on February 15th, and co-written by self confessed metalhead Lovato, "Remember December" is a spiky rock song with pop sensibilities aplenty shining through. An unexpected pleasure, and a song that will stick in your brain for quite sometime.
