H.I.M. (Goth Rock): Valo (vocals); Linde (guitar); Burton (keyboards); Midge (bass guitar); Gas (drums). Audio Mixer: Tim Palmer. Recording information: Finnvox Studios, Helsinki, Finland. A lot of people have the propensity to give H.I.M. unnecessary doses of grief simply because of the band's friendship and professional allegiance to pro skater Bam Margera. What's unfortunate about this is that H.I.M. actually produces dramatic metal of high sonic quality, and once again Love Metal further reinforces that notion. Going one better than Razorblade Romance, Ville Valo and company waste no time bringing out the big guns with "Buried Alive By Love," which easily measures up to the group's most well-known moments. The songwriting is as strong as it has been in quite some time and a newly found sense of urgency keeps the record going at a well-tempered pace. For die-hard fans, this is the album H.I.M. has been struggling to make and realize for quite a while, and even the aforementioned detractors of the group would be well served by giving this record a spin. ~ Rob Theakston 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.

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!!!!!

| | H I M Razorblade Romance CD (2008)
Love Metal
$11.65 HIM: Ville (vocals); Linde (guitar); Burton (keyboards); Mige (bass); Gas (drums). Personnel: Daniel Lioneye (guitar); Mike Ceer (tambourine). Audio Mixer: John Fryer. Recording information: Finnvox; Rockfield; STrongroom. Photographer: Jouka Letola. Even though H.I.M.'s main goal seems to be gaining attention from a female audience, Greatest Lovesongs sure was artistically a success. The contrast between Razorblade Romance and the debut, however, is quite large. Melancholy and angst seem a little artificial, while Greatest Lovesongs had a truly pressuring atmosphere all the time. Razorblade Romance forgets all about that, and the whole concept of gothic rock and so-called love metal repeats itself many times during the album. But the songs themselves are actually very good; when ignoring the implementation, hit songs ...
| | H I M Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights CD (2004)
Love Metal
$12.59 This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. H.I.M. (Goth Rock): Ville Valo (vocals); Linde (guitar); Burton (keyboards); Midge (bass guitar); Gas (drums). H.I.M.'s Razorblade Romance was a huge step from the poppy yet raw Greatest Lovesongs, and so their reputation as teenage-girl entertainers began to grow. That was very unfortunate for the old fans of H.I.M., as Razorblade Romance marks the beginning of H.I.M.'s more polished pop era. Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights plunges deeper. The songs lack hooks, the sound is just way too clean, and as the highlights (the tracks "In Joy and Sorrow" and "Pretending") are over before the halfway point, as a whole Deep Shadows doesn't quite satisfy. ~ Antti J.

| | H I M Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 CD (2005)
Love Metal
$12.59 This release contains 58 untitled hidden tracks following "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". H.I.M. (Goth Rock): Ville Valo (vocals); Linde (guitar); Burton (keyboards); Mige (bass instrument); Gas (drums). You wouldn't expect a lot from a band whose debut album is entitled Greatest Lovesongs, Vol. 666, but H.I.M. surprises in a very positive way. H.I.M.'s stigma of so-called "love metal" is actually undeserved and relates only to Ville Valo's love-oriented lyrics; the music itself combines metal with '80s rock and some goth influences, and the album as a whole has a very diverse sound. Songs such as "The Beginning of the End" and "It's All Tears" especially prove that H.I.M. ...

| | Kinks Kink Kontroversy CD (1966) (Import) Bonus Tracks; England; United Kingdom
Love Metal
$10.49 UK digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1966 album from the British Rock band led by the ever-bickering Davies brothers, Ray and Dave. Contains the original album joined by a myriad of non-album tracks, rare mixes and more. 16 tracks. Sanctuary.
The Kinks: Ray Davies (vocals, guitar, piano); Dave Davies (vocals, guitar); Peter Quaife (bass); Mick Avory (drums). Includes original release liner notes by Michael Aldred & new liner notes by Peter Doggett. 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 Kinks came into their own as album artists -- and Ray Davies fully matured as a songwriter -- with The Kink Kontroversy, which bridged their raw early British Invasion sound with more sophisticated lyrics and thoughtful production. There are still powerful ravers like the hit "Till the End of the Day" (utilizing yet another "You Really Got Me"-type riff) and the abrasive, Dave Davies-sung cover of "Milk Cow Blues," but tracks like the calypso pastiche "I'm on an Island," where Ray sings of isolation with a forlorn yet merry bite, were far more indicative of their future direction. Other great songs on this underrated album include the uneasy nostalgia of "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?," the plaintive, almost fatalistic ballads "Ring the Bells" and "The World Keeps Going Round," and the Dave Davies-sung declaration of independence "I Am Free." Some mediocre filler detracts from the disc's overall ...

Love Metal
$11.39 Entrance: Guy Blakeslee (vocals, guitar); Tommy Rouse (drums); Paz Lenchantin. Personnel: Guy Blakeslee (vocals, guitar); Paz Lenchantin (fiddle, piano). Recording information: Technician Secret Studios, New York, NY (01/2003-02/2003). Photographer: Paul Heartfield. Arranger: Entrance. One can only be grateful that the Delta blues has experienced yet another mutation since the dawn of the new millennium. In the 1990s, acts like the Flat Duo Jets, the Blues Explosion, 20 Miles, and a host of others used the Delta tradition in their brand of post-punk blues. But in the new century, bands like the Black Keys, Immortal Lee County Killers, Pearlene, and Guy Blakeslee's ...
