HIM is a Finnish rock band from Helsinki. Formed in 1991 by vocalist Ville Valo, guitarist Mikko "Linde" Lindström, and bassist Mikko "Migé" Paananen, HIM's current lineup consists of Valo, Linde, Migé, Janne "Emerson Burton" Puurtinen on keyboards and Mika Karppinen on drums. They have released eight studio albums to date, their latest, titled Tears on Tape, was released April 26, 2013. On September 5, 2006, HIM's fifth studio album Dark Light was certified gold by the RIAA, making HIM the first Finnish band to have a gold album in the United States. HIM had five of their studio albums certified platinum in Finland with Razorblade Romance being certified double platinum in Finland and platinum in Germany. As His Infernal Majesty the band recorded 3 demos and one EP, Only 2 of the demos and the EP were released. Their first demo, 'Witches and Other Night Fears' was recorded in 1992, the sole copy of which is rumoured to reside with Valo. His Infernal Majesty then released Demo Tape 1 in 1993 and Demo Tape 2 in 1995 these two demos have been named by fans as 'This Is Only The Beginning'. Their debut EP, 666 Ways to Love: Prologue, was released in 1996 solely in Finland, with only 1,000 copies printed. It was produced byHiili Hiilesmaa, and was recorded at Finnvox Studios, MD and Peacemakers, Helsinki. The woman on the cover is said to be Valo's mother, who (according to an interview with Valo) worked in a shoe shop at the time. HIM released their first full-length studio album, Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666, on November 20, 1997. It features covers of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" and Blue Öyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". Four singles were released from the album, which was also produced byHiili Hiilesmaa. Like the EP 666 Ways to Love: Prologue, the album was recorded at Finnvox, MD and Peacemakers in Helsinki, Finland. Guest vocals were provided by Sanna-June Hyde, and Asta Hannula on "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "For You," respectively. A digipak version was released in Finland, with the song "For You" moved to the first track. A special edition was released in Germany with the bonus track "Stigmata Diaboli," taken from666 Ways to Love: Prologue. In keeping with the theme of 666, the album's length is 66:06 and contains a total of 66 tracks (56 of which are blank). There is another track which starts at 6 minutes into the 66th track, it is the outro of "The Heartless" from 666 Ways to Love: Prologue. The track is called "HIM 666," or alternatively "666" or "Dark Circle." This album is also the only HIM album so far to have hidden bonus tracks. Although sometimes perceived to have Satan-worshiping references, Valo has stated that the album was never affiliated with these things.
After gaining popularity in Europe, particularly in their homeland, HIM released its second album on December 19, 1999, entitledRazorblade Romance. During this time, the band's popularity began to increase, with their single "Join Me in Death" from the album reached No. 1 on the German music charts, selling over 500,000 of this single in two months. "Join Me in Death" was used as the soundtrack of the European version of the science fiction movie The Thirteenth Floor, which brought the song to further popularity worldwide. "Join Me in Death" is the best-selling Finnish single in history. Following increasing success in Germany, they released two more Germany-only singles from this album: "Right Here in My Arms" and "Gone With the Sin", which reached No. 20 and No. 19 on the charts respectively. Around this time, the band's popularity began to spread in Europe, including the United Kingdom. The album reached No. 1 in both Germany and their native Finland.
In 2002, Razorblade Romance was released in the United States, though HIM was unable to release it under their name due to the American band, HiM, owning the rights to that name in the U.S. As a result, they changed their name to HER (His Evil Royalty) in the United States. Eventually, they were able to buy the full rights to the name HIM, and copies of the album began to be manufactured with their desired name on the packaging. Only 1,000 copies of the album exist with the HER band name, which makes it a rare collectible among fans. The original working title for Razorblade Romance was 'Gotham Roll' and a demo or properly recorded song from this session leaked onto the Internet (in the midst of 2004), titled "Too Happy to Be Alive." A drum machine was used for this particular session due to Pätkä leaving the band.
