Anyone heard about this band?

Their songs are:
Vampire Heart
Wings of a Butterfly
Razorblade Knife
Heaven Tonight


Name Confusion:
The name His Infernal Majesty was a total joke, the band was not meant to be famous.
The band members told many lies about what His Infernal Majesty was stood for...
They had to change name to HIM because of people pronouncing the name incorrectly etc. etc...

Interesting Fact:
They had to release their first US major CD under the name HER because of there was a New York based post rock band under the name HiM, but they ended up buying the rights for the name HIM.

[wee33]

lol. i like them. their songs are pretty decent. my current favorite is The Funeral of Hearts lol. Ville has a nice voice. but it's so deep when he's talking.

[sushimi]

this thread is a good idea! i'm a huge fan since the beginning, since i've known "join' me (in death) i love all their videos, and this band is different from the others who always look alike... i even did a thread about the gorgeous Ninja Sarasalo, the young woman who played in "right here in my arms". i can't believe there isn't enough answer here...i don't know to do to let a pic since this forum is changed..

i liked em for a while.... then stopped. theyre not all that good. i got their recent cd, and most of the songs sounded the same. i honestly think that i fit wasnt for hottopic, they wouldnt be anywhere near from where theyre at now.

[chulsu]

meh,,
i thought HIM was good when i first heard wings of a butterfly
but after i heard the rest of their songs
i realized they were all similar and they got boring >_>

i had the same feelings with their last album.... but i liked their first albums just before....

I love him. I have all their albums and other stuff like shirts(I have about 5 of them lol) a wallet, the sneakers(my friend gave them to me so i was like uhh obsessive but cool) a hat, and a bag lol. I feel like such an obsessor . . oh i also went to one of his concerts wen he was at Hammerstein Ballroom. They canceled their N.A. tour this year cause Ville want to work on his new album or something of the sort. But yeah, i wasn't too crazy about their newest album, and i especially disliked their song Dark Light. . it was sorta bleh. Under the Rose and Vampire Heart have to be like my favorite songs from that album. But i like all his other songs. so yeah . .

[VersusVillain]

I think I'd rather stab myself in the heart with a "razorblade knife" than listen to their crap.

[ace.spattervenom]

I've only heard Wings of a Butterfly, I kinda liked his voice. But that just... disappeared after a while.

And... the guy with the cowboy-ish hat in both pics. O.O
That's kinda random.

[heart[killer]]
