HIM - In Venere Veritas

HIM - In Venere Veritas - Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice (2010)

In February, HIM gonna release a new album, on which the opening title has a latin name. The most of you I guess, even if you have no clue about latin, have heard the phrase "In Vino Veritas" before: In wine, there is truth.

Now, there is truth in another place, in Venere. This is the correct ablative form (because of in, asking "Where?") of the name Venus, which is the goddess of love and sexuality in ancient mythology. In ancient texts, her name was also used to refer to the practice of love making, so venus can be translated as sex.

In Venere Veritas = In Sex, there is Truth....

... still keep on searching.
