HIM's fifth album, world-wide released on 26th September 2005 except from USA, where it was released on 27th September 2006 with a limited edition pre-release some days before.
The limited edition consisted in in a tin case with a 24 page booklet with hand written lyrics by Ville Valo, a certificate of authenticity and a key chain flash light that flashes the Heartagram.
Dark Light was inspired by a Finnish book with the same title and a collection of ancient mythologies and religions (mainly Christianity).
"Wings of a Butterfly" is a reference to a Finnish myth in which two souls destroyed something beautiful to live forever and it also says that immortal souls has the wings of a butterfly, and "Venus (In Our Blood)" has the line "Venus denies your seven towers," referring to another Greek myth portraying hell as seven towers protruding from dark waters.
In the song "In the Nightside of Eden," there is a line, "we descend to the circle number four," which is a reference to Dante's Inferno.
