Advantages: Love Metal music at it's finest, so many awesome songs Disadvantages: Little to None !!!
...they are originally from Finland, and have reached a fairly high level of success in their home country. The name HIM stands for His Infernal Majesty, although they are known as HER in USA, due to copyright issue with a country band known as HIM. They define the genre Love Metal, infact they created it! Their music is a gentle blend of metal riffs and love ballads, to the point that even if you don’t like metal music you will at least like this, ... ...mixture of smooth vocals, piano and guitars.
The band consists of Valo on vocals, Gas on drums, Mige on bass, and Linde on guitar (I’m not sure of their real names, but this is what they like to be known as!).
They have huge links with the rock scene in USA ever since Bam Magera (which many of you will remember from Jackass or CKY) fell in love with their music, he now organises tours with the band, appears at gigs, directs music videos and promotes ...

Advantages: raw emotion, poetic lyrics, fantastic music Disadvantages: a few of my favourite tracks are not included
...one of my favourite bands and when I got their latest greatest hits CD ‘and love said no’ for Christmas I thought it was about time I did a review on them.
HIM describe their music as ‘love metal’ and that truly is the best description it could be given.
HIM consists of five members (all from Finland); Ville Valo writes most of the songs and does the vocals, Gas plays the drums, Burton plays the keyboards, Midge plays guitar and Linde is on guitar. ... ...first album back in 1997 and are still going strong.

The cover of the CD is simple but attractive. It consists of a picture with half of Ville Valos face (yum!) and then to the left is the bands name and the heartagram logo aswell as the title of the album. Other than Valos face, the main colours on the cover are black and a pale bluey grey colour.

Pioneers of Metal Review ofAnd Love Said No (1997-2004/+DVD) - HIMby
TouchFaith
Advantages: Metal at it's finest, the Love variety; always a winner, Emotion packed! Disadvantages: Contrived Live DVD as opposed to a genuine -H-I-M- concert
Rocks Sexiest Male (Kerrang Awards) and his band have done it again; real proof that metal doesn’t have to be intolerable, incomprehensible, bowel-aching grunts over “chugger-chugger” guitar riffs that break your bloody strings after two songs. -H-I-M- do it the right way. Melody is the key for Ville and co; a tactic that is made evident right from the opening track, the specially written title-track, “And Love Said No”. Opened with some glorious ... ...Valo, “Kill me, I begged and love said no, Leave me for dead and let me go...” and as the melodies and harmonies build up with the timely introductions of Burton’s keys, Mige’s bass, Gas’ drums and finally the rock god’s vocals you just wanna stand up and rock out. The most beautiful thing about -H-I-M- and this album is one minute you can be rocking out to the meaty “It’s All Tears (Drown In This Love)” and then the next you can be swaying with ...
