Poison Kisses: a fan page for lovers of HIM

This is a page completely devoted to the Finnish band HIM. Who ever decides to be friends with us must truly love music and everything it stands for.HIM was originally formed in 1991 with band members Ville Valo(vocals), Mikko Vijami Lindstrom AKA Linde, Mikko Henrik julius AKA Mige.They started doing cover songs on certain bands and later gained members Antto Melasnieme(keyboards) and Juhana Rantala(drums) completing the first official HIM lineup.Originally they hadnt planned on singing love metal but Valo wrote about love often so it is said, and he decided to mix rock and love songs with a hint of gothic themes.First demo was entitled "witches and other night fears" and the second demo they recorded was entitled "this is only the beginning".HIM released "666 ways to love" their official first EP and they had only printed 1000 copies.This cd contains a picture of Villes mother on the front cover.They eventually dropped the name His infernal majesty due to the fact that it was linked to satanism and they were in no part satanic. One year later, Greatest Love Songs, Vol. 666 solidified their cult status throughout the region; it featured a cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game." Razorblade Romance was released in 2000, and H.I.M. supported it with an extensive European tour. Pluto departed after Romance and was replaced by Emerson Burton. Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights, the band's third album, arrived in 2002, followed by the Europe-only Love Metal in 2003. In 2005, H.I.M.'s early albums were reissued in America through Universal; they also released Dark Light, their official domestic debut... width="425" height="350" ..
