Album Notes HIM: Ville (vocals); Linde (guitar); Burton (keyboards); Mige (bass); Gas (drums).Despite having releases available mostly on import, the Finnish metal band HIM has inspired an incredibly loyal cult following in the United States. In late 2003, Universal reissued this, the group's sophomore album from 2000 (which reportedly sold over a million copies in Europe), with two remixed tracks from HIM's debut and one new song. Combining elements of vintage glam, old-school goth, and classic rock, with a few modern touches sprinkled in, the ensemble provides potent accompaniment to frontman Ville Valo's tortured singing.HIM's dynamic music is based on an infectious blend of metallic riffs and goth keyboards. Mixing hard rock anthems with softer ballads, the band allows Valo to wax poetic (almost psychotic) about tragic love ("Join Me in Death"), romantic fatalism ("I Love You [Prelude to Tragedy]"), and monstrous obsession ("Right Here in My Arms"). While HIM's memorable rendition of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" may lack the fluidity of the original, it packs a strong wallop and fits nicely within the oeuvre. Straight-ahead, stripped down, and emotionally volatile, the music of HIM, combined with Valo's brooding persona and the group's patented "heartagram" symbol, make them a perfect fit for the retro-rock revival.

Reviews  HIM - Razorblade Romance - you must have it !!!!!!!Review created: 28/01/08 by: irinirenata ( 5 )  1 of 1 people found this review helpful. This one is an old cd of HIM, but the songs are marvelous. Everybody who likes alternative metal should buy this CD. There is Gone With The Sin which is a fantastic song, also others like: Right here in my arms, Join me in death, Wicked Game, Your sweet 666. Ville Valo has written great songs. That's why he is my favourite song writer and singer ;) Review ID: 10000000005256466 Was this review helpful? Report this review A Great Unique AlbumReview created: 14/06/06 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. What I like most about this album is that every song is varied and offer something different which i feel makes HIM stand out from most other bands that are around today with their unique song writing. My favourite tracks are 'your sweet 666' because the guitar and vocals are amzing and 'join me in death' because the piano intro. If your looking for an album that is full of rock songs with great unique melodies and harmonies with a great crisp guitar sound and amazing vocals through out then this is the album for you. This album will not disappoint. Review ID: 10000000001195942 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
