Ville Valo was touched to find out first hand that even some of Kelly Osbourne’s friends proudly wore their ‘heartagram’ {band logo} tattoos. Now one has to bear in mind that Kelly ’s dad is pretty much responsible for the HIM guys being in the business in the first place … Love Metal? – For sure!

Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights
01 Jun 2001
Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights', was the enchanting third album from Finland's most beguiling rockers. The album, produced by Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden). The third millennium proved that the cosy days of cult status were a thing of the past for HIM. For the inquisitive, they toured with passion across Europe all 2001/2 selling vast quantities of 'Deep Shadows' along the way.
Valo, the enigmatic half-suffering poet half-sneering front man, wrote straight from the dark and mysterious heart of rock.
Songs such as 'Pretending' and 'In Joy And Sorrow' flaunted their scorching yin and yang concoction of goth rock.

01 Salt In Our Wounds

Razorblade Romance
01 Jun 1999
Razorblade Romance was recorded at Rockfield Studios, the birthplace of such classics as Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory and, as the band are keen to point out, the debut album of Black Sabbath! Razorblade Romance was produced by John Fryer who has previously worked with White Zombie, Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode. The one (reworked from the 'Greatest Lovesongs' album) cover version on Razorblade Romance is of Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game'. Their version has layers of hard-edged guitars on it, yet the soul-searching inner qualities of the original song are left intact.
"I could see the image of the movie poster of Gone with the Wind in front of me", Valo smiles.
"With Lemmy embracing Madonna in the sunset."
Who can argue with that?
