H.I.M

[-sophie-]

This is a thread dedicated 2 my favourite band.......... H.I.M  (his infernal majesty)

just in case you didnt know, HIM are a band from finland and their music is rock/metal although they describe it as love metal as most of the songs are about love and especially the dark side of love. the lyrics are melancholy and beautiful and even if you dont usually like the kind of music i would say give HIM a try anyway because you might just be suprised... even my mum likes some of their songs 

they even have their own symbol, the heartagram : which bam margera STOLE!!

the band are :
ville valo - vocals
linde - guitar
gas - drums
mige - bass
burton - keyboard


some pics of the band (ville valo is the beautiful one in the middle) :





the lyrics are dark and poetic and soooo beautiful and unlike the lyrics by some bands they actually mean something!!
one of my favourite lyrics goes 'from lashes to ashes and from lust to dust, in your sweetest tormernt i'm lost' 

the lead singer ville valo has the most beautiful voice EVER, its soooo deep and sexy  and if you dont believe me then listen to this :
  i love the way that he messes up a few of the chords and forgets bits of the song

to hear more of his sexy voice i would also recommend :


and here are some pics of ville, anyone else think he looks a lot like johnny depp??





   

   

   



here are some more of their songs :

killing loneliness (stunning lyrics) 

kiss of dawn (his voice is so low in this song its gorgeous)   

wings of a butterfly (the guitar riff on this song is amazing!!)   

funeral of hearts (more beautiful lyrics)   




sexy, non? i no smoking is bad for you but damn!! he makes it look sooooo hot



so does anyone else like them???

Strawberries... cherries... and an angel's kiss in spring... My sumerwine is really made for *sings further*

[-sophie-]

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled too
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine

[tinkie]

*DANCES LIKE A MAD MAN *

OMG SOPHIE!! thanks for opening this thread! i was sooo scared to start a HIM thread

DAAAAAMNN, THEY ROCK!!! TOTALLY! LIKE I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PERSON LIKE VILLE VALO BEFORE!
he is sooo original it makes me cry 

and the other day, i have been reading an article bout them and i learnt ville is half hungarian! WOOOT GO VILLE 
and i sooo want to get "venus doom" i LOOOOVEEEEEEE "kiss of dawn" the lyrics <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
but it hasnt been released here yet 

and i love summer wine too it just annoys me that natalia avelon always sings the same stuff lol  eeh whatever

*happy puppy mood* 

[-sophie-]

yeah i've been thinking about opening a HIM thread for ageeeeeeeeeeeees but i wasnt sure if anyone would be into their music, but i'm glad i did coz i don't think this forum was complete without valo (what forum is?) its gd to be able 2 discuss the band, not many of my friends like them 

have u looked for venus doom on itunes? they have it on there and u can download the whole thing and its probably cheaper than buying the cd. i just loooooooooooooooove that album, cant even tell u how much, every single song is incredible.

the other day i found this on youtube : , its called 'bittersweet' by apocaliptyca with ville valo and lauri from the rasmus singing. theyre voices are totally different, someone on youtube said ville's voice is like crushed velvet and lauri's is like broken glass and they sound amazing together, and the violins and cellos mix well with their voices. i'm so addicted to that song!! 

[Smithybabe]

i cant buy stuff from internet.. it's because of my parents  you cant imagine the things i wanna buy like books,CDs, t-shirts,necklaces.. but i cant 

oh well, the CD will be released here i'm sure of that because people here LOVEEE HIM  so that's a plus 

OMG my friend suggested i should listen to "bittersweet" but i didnt  thanks for the link, i will listen to it now 

what are your fav songs of HIM /ville
mine are

gone with the sin
wings of a butterfly
join me in death
summer wine

hey i'm a newbie 

[-sophie-]

ok this list is gonna be incredibly long  but here goes (in no particular order coz i couldnt ever put them in order of favourites coz it depends on what mood i'm in) :

vampire heart
wings of a butterfly
buried alive by love
and love said no
gone with the sin
solitary man
join me
heartache every moment
the sacrement
pretending
when love and death embrace
dont fear the reaper
under the rose
behind the crimson door
drunk on shadows
killing loneliness
night side of eden
for you
wicked game
razorblade kiss
heaven tonight
venus doom
love in cold blood
kiss of dawn
passions killing floor
sleepwalking past hope
dead lovers lane
song or suicide

i would have named more but i only got some of the older albums recently and havent had a chance 2 listen to them properly yet

its a shame that u have 2 wait for so long 2 get the album but i think its definately worth the wait!!
