"Bleed Well" is a song by the Finnish band HIM, and the second single from the 2007 album Venus Doom, where it is the eighth track on the album. The single is currently available on iTunes as of November 18, 2007, as a one-track single, where the maxi-single was available as of December 9, 2007. According to cdon.com, the maxi-single was released as of November 7, 2007 ^[1]. The cover of the album was first found on the UK iTunes Music Store on the 'Bleed Well - Single' page.

[edit] Music video

A short music video of this song was found on the band's YouTube page, which made it look like there would be a full version of the video to be released along with a single. Since short videos in the same style were also created for Passion's Killing Floor and then Love In Cold Blood, fans stopped believing there would be a full version. However, the band did later release a new video for the song on YouTube, in a style different from the 30 second video clips featuring Nosferatu. The band said the video will be comparable to that of Killing Loneliness, meaning that the video would be of a live, audience-free performance, like the second video for Killing Loneliness. The video has been finished and can be seen on YouTube along with many others. Ville Valo recently said in an interview the video was basically the band trying not to spend too much money and trying to have a little bit of fun. On the video, Valo can be seen wearing a t-shirt promoting "Aikuisten Lelukauppa", an adult toy store in Helsinki that is owned by his own father.
