"we are HIM, the Finnish love metal band"
that's wut Ville (frontman) often used to introduce the band. Many had argued bout the LOVE METAL thingy, they said, there's no such thing as love metal. But, one thing they don't know is, the word LOVE METAL really describes the entire meaning of the HIM music. Although, yeah, LOVE METAL is not a genre, but it's a word to distinguish HIM, having their own identity from others.

Ville Valo @ my idol!! ow yeah!!
why? coz he's the most creative guy i've ever known, he wrote all the beautiful poetic lyrics and interpret them into magnificent work of art i.e. all their songs. I repeat, ALL THEIR SONG!! lol!
He's a good artist too that he designed almost all of HIM's album covers, and one that attracted me the most was his painting that had been made as their latest album cover, VENUS DOOM.
Most of all, his voice. Too sexy to resist. It'll melt u down baybeyh. haha!

So, those are my collection. Not all are sold here in M'sia so I don't own all of them.I've been collecting them since i first started adoring the music, 5 years back. Yeah, i know i was kinda late, but don't expect me to listen to this kind of music when i was a kid. HIM was formed in 1991, I was just 1 year old, and my songs were, 'Twinkle2 Lil' Star', 'Old McDonald', 'Humpty Dumpty" etc. Wah! I could remember all this. lol!
How i got to know HIM? random listening to different bands, then i stuck with it.
from top,- Razorblade Romance (1999)
- Deep Shadows & Brilliant Highlights (2001)
- Love Metal (2003)
- Dark Light (2005)
- And Love Said No (2004)
- Uneasy Listening Vol. 1 (2006)
- Uneasy Listening Vol. 2 (2007)

hmm, i have just 8, but i should've got another one, 'Digital Versatile Doom' which i've told one of my so-called best friend to get it for my birthday, but no HIM-related stuff had showed up. T_T
I wish dat one day i'll own everything from them as part of my obsession. They had released many singles and compilations that are 'no way to find them in Malaysia Tanah Air Ku'. Uhhh! WuttaPhuck!
I never planned to talk long bout this topic, coz i know it will take years. So, that's all bout my very beautiful obsession.
Here's my recommendation for those who wanted to try pieces of HIM. Listen to these :
Funeral of Hearts
Killing Loneliness
Join Me
In Joy and Sorrow
Passion's Killing Floor
