Biography

Forming in Finland in the midst of 1995, H.I.M (known as Her in the US), portrays a true quest for the reinvention of goth rock. Comprising of vocalist and songwriter Ville Hermani Vallo, Migé Amour on Bass, Lily Lazer playing Guitar, Gas Lipstick on Drums, and Zoltan Pluto playing keyboards (Pluto has since been replaced by Emerson Burton). H.I.M use a distinct compound of scowling melodies, mystical love stories and inspired lyrics to mark their musical ground.

The 1996 EP 666 Ways to Love (restricted to only 1000 copies), was the group's first recording. Having attained considerable praise within the Scandinavian market, one year later, Greatest Love Songs, Vol. 666 solidified their cult status and celebrated the band's cover of "Wicked Game,". It was at that time that the group gained a rising fan base all across Europe, entering an enduring and extensive touring season to even more wide-ranging acclaim.

Three years later, Razorblade Romance, H.I.M.'s second album, hit record stores. This also achieved substantial results and strengthened their indubitable recognition. With production credits featuring John Fryer, who previously worked with crews like White Zombie and Nine Inch Nails, the record substantiated the squad's better acclaim. It was then that H.I.M. then suffered its first line-up change when Pluto left, later being replaced by Emerson Burton.

Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights, the band's third full-length disc, arrived in late 2001, confirming the Finnish crew's better recognition and strengthening the band's growing legion of fans. This was then followed by the acclaimed Love Metal in April 2003.

In September 2004 H.I.M signed a new contract with Sire Records, which is part of the Warner Bros company. With Sire Records on side who knows what's next for this band! read less
