Biography
In Finland, 1995, the world was about to be
struck by the hottest new "Love Metal"/
"Scandinavian Blues"band.  They would call
themselves HIM (and later on be confused for His
Infernal Majesty).  When their first CD, Greatest
Lovesongs Vol. 666 came out in 1998, it hit the
top of the Finnish charts quickly (and eventually
went gold throughout Scandinavia).  Their first
single, "Join Me", brought a new feel to music,
and so did HIM frontman, Ville Valo.  With his
hot looks, hypnotizing moves, incredible voice,
and moving words, he was bound to be one of the
biggest European sex-symbols.  With his partners,
Mige Amour and Lily (Linde) Lazer at his side,
Valo managed to keep the band a success through
not only a manager change, but also a new
keyboardist, Zoltan Pluto, and new a new drummer,
Gas Lipstick.  With that, HIM came out with their
next CD, Razorblade Romance.

Like Greatest Lovesongs, it too hit the charts
with a bang.  By this time, they were not only
known throughout Finland, but also though all of
Europe!  Things were going smoothly for the band
until Zoltan left soon after shooting their
latest video, "Right Here In My Arms".  Many fans
were angry, and especially in Germany, sales
started to drop.  But with their new keyboardist,
Emerson Burton, HIM managed to regain many fans
and record their album, Deep Shadows and
Brilliant Highlights.  Deep Shadows wasn't as hot
as Greatest Lovesongs or Razorblade Romance, but
HIM was still near the top of the charts and
running European tours as usual.  Even today, HIM
is still doing many interviews, making videos,
and writing songs.  They also have just begun
another European tour that started in Finland. 
They hope to introduce their fourth album later
this year.  Good luck to them!
