 (25 Customer Reviews)
Ville Valo and his gloomy crew return to their metallic roots with LOVE METAL, the band's heaviest offering since their full-length debut. Launching full force into the propulsive "Buried Alive By Love," HIM explores dirgy, Sabbath-style rock ("Sweet Pandemonium"), emotive balladry ("This Fortress of Tears"), and high-speed angst ("Soul on Fire"). But amidst the turbo-charged reinvigoration, the group retains a flair for disarmingly beautiful sounds, with flowing piano work on "The Sacrament" and a mandolin accompaniment for "The Funeral of Hearts." The closing number, "The Path," unexpectedly summons a slow-paced, '50s rock-ballad feel, and the approach imbues the tune with a unique vibe. By this 2005 album, the Finnish band's formula could have been stagnant, but through passionate performances and a desire to push its own boundaries, HIM keeps making beguiling, goth-flavored heavy rock for the masses.
HIM (Goth): Valo (vocals); Linde (guitar); Burton (keyboards); Midge (bass guitar); Gas (drums).

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Unbelievable!
Amazing! every song is different, which is hard to accomplish. very well done! one song will be acoustic or have piano (my favorite song, by the way, The Sacrament) but then it will get grungy like Sweet Pandimonium, Buried Alive By Love, or This Fortress of Tears, and then all the rest are a mix. luvin' it!
if you haven't heard them yet, then i reccomend them to you! they rock!!!!!

Purchase Love Metal CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Love Metal
 $6.79   
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by the Irish folk medley "Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath" which arguably features more full-on Irishness than the Dublin production of RIVERDANCE. There's also a lovely rendition of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that's topped ...
| | My Chemical Romance I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love CD (2002)
Love Metal
$12.19
My Chemical Romance are another in the swarm of hard-edged, emo-tinged punk-pop bands flooding the market of the early-to-mid 2000s, working firmly in a post-hardcore musical vein that doesn't rule out sensitivity and inspection in lyrical content. On I BROUGHT YOU MY BULLETS, YOU BROUGHT ME YOUR LOVE, the band's debut, My Chemical Romance shows that they don't fool around on either count. Bolstered by chugging, crunching guitars, pulse-quickening rhythms, and passionate, anthemic melodies straight from the alt-rock rulebook, MCR unleashes a blistering intensity that encourages raised, clenched fists, while incorporating elements of nu metal and punk with surprising skill.
Lead singer Gerard Way has a way with words, and I BROUGHT YOU MY BULLETS also serves as a tour through the bleaker corridors of the human spirit. Way's angst-infused vocals and lyrics about loneliness, anger, substance ...
| | H I M Razorblade Romance CD (2008)
Love Metal
$11.65
Despite having releases available mostly on import, the Finnish metal band HIM has inspired an incredibly loyal cult following in the United States. In late 2003, Universal reissued this, the group's sophomore album from 2000 (which reportedly sold over a million copies in Europe), with two remixed tracks from HIM's debut and one new song. Combining elements of vintage glam, old-school goth, and classic rock, with a few modern touches sprinkled in, the ensemble provides potent accompaniment to frontman Ville Valo's tortured singing.
HIM's dynamic music is based on an infectious blend of metallic riffs and goth keyboards. Mixing hard rock anthems with softer ballads, the band allows Valo to wax poetic (almost psychotic) about tragic love ("Join Me in Death"), romantic ...
| | H I M Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights CD (2004)
Love Metal
$12.59
On its third album, Finnish goth band HIM takes its dark, brooding hard-rock sound into more pop-friendly territory, thanks in part to the production work of Kevin Shirley (Aerosmith, Journey) on three tracks. Even then, the group has not lost its guitar-driven bite or tragic/romantic edge, as frontman Ville Valo waxes melancholic about love and lust on the hook-laden tunes "Salt in Our Wounds," "In Joy and Sorrow," and "Pretending." Sure, there's more acoustic guitar on this album, ...

Finally released in the U.S. mere weeks before HIM's 2005 album, DARK LIGHT, the Finnish group's debut, GREATEST LOVESONGS VOL. 666, unveils its signature "love metal" sound to stunning effect. A potent combination of Sisters of Mercy-inspired goth and blistering hard rock mixed with a glam look and overtly romantic lyrics, HIM's aesthetic ...

| | Kinks Kink Kontroversy CD (1966) (Import) Bonus Tracks; England; United Kingdom
Love Metal
$11.99
U.K. remastered rerelease comes packaged with original artwork and contains four bonus cuts--"Dedicated Follower Of Fashion," "Sittin' On My Sofa," "When I See That Girl Of Mine" (Unreleased Demo Recording), and "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion" (Unreleased Alternate Studio Take).
THE KINK KONTROVERSY is the pivotal album in the Kinks' career, the bridge from filler-laden early efforts like KINDA KINKS to the string of masterpieces starting with 1966's FACE TO FACE. The hit single "Til the End of the Day" is the third and last of the trilogy of similar riff-rockers that started with "You Really Got Me." But elsewhere Ray Davies shows his peculiar development as a songwriter with downright morose tracks like "Where ...
