singles from Dark Light. For the 2005 edition of the band's annual New Year's Eve shows, the event was expanded into a festival and renamed Helldone. The band were scheduled to begin a tour of the UK and Ireland in January 2006, but were forced to postpone it until February, after guitarist Mikko "Linde" Lindström fractured his wrist after Helldone. At the 2005 Emma Awards, HIM went on to win "Rock Album of the Year", and "Song of the Year" for "Wings of a Butterfly". Dark Light was also nominated for "Album of the Year". On 9 February 2006, HIM began a joint seven-date tour with The Rasmus and Negative across Central Europe, after which HIM continued through Southern Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Also in February 2006, "Killing Loneliness" was released as a single, charting in five countries, peaking at number two in Finland. Two music videos were produced for the song, the latter of which featured a guest appearance by tattoo artist Kat Von D. From May to June 2006, HIM toured the US with Aiden acting as support. In August 2006, HIM were nominated by Kerrang! for "Best Band on the Planet". In September 2006, HIM cancelled a forthcoming North American tour, in order to begin work on a new album. "Under the Rose" was also released as the final promotional single from Dark Light in 2006. In October 2007, Ville Valo was awarded at the BMI Pop Award for "Wings of a Butterfly".
