Finland has always had a thriving music scene across the years, from surprise Eurovision winning metallers Lordi to million selling Operatic Metal icons Nightwish. However one of the biggest success stories is the fantastic H.I.M (His Infernal Majesty). The band spent years honing their craft across Europe with their own unique style of "Love Metal" which combines the dark tones of Black Sabbath-esque riffs with the romantic storytelling lyrics of frontman Ville Valo. Having found much of their success in the early 00's with help from Jackass star Bam Margera sporting their "Heartagram" logo in tattoos and clothing, the band have become a worldwide success gracing arenas and festival stages across the globe. Recently we picked up a fantastic collection of H.I.M items, including box sets, shaped picture discs, deleted singles, and more. Below is just a few of the highlights.
And Love Said No... 1997-2004 - Rare 2004 UK Limited 'First' Edition box set featuring the LPs: 'The Greatest Love Songs Vol 666', 'Razorblade Romance', 'Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights' and 'Love Metal' plus bonus 'Wicked Game Original EP' pressed on Red Vinyl - a total of 45 tracks, each disc comes in their own individual picture sleeve. Presented in an individually hand numbered 12" slide-open picture box, this copy number 88 - only the first 666 copies were numbered, this is in an amazing unplayed condition making this an outstanding low numbered copy and a must have for any fan
Razorblade Romance - 2004 US exclusive limited edition official release 14-track LP pressed on PINK
VINYL, presented in PVC sleeve complete with 12" picture insert. Arguably featuring some of their best work, including the fantastic single Join Me In Death, which is officially the biggest selling single in Finnish music history. A far more accessible affair than their earlier work,and is a great starting point for anyone looking to get into the band. This collectable version doesn't surface all that often, so should not be missed out on!
Buried Alive By Love - 2003 Finnish 2-track 7" shaped vinyl Picture Disc single featuring the "Heartagram design" and includes the fantastic B-side When Love And Death Embrace. Probably the single that garnered the most commercial attention for the band, and propelled them into the big time. A fantastic collectors item, something that people are usually reluctant to part with, so this should not be missed out on, and is an essential part of any H.I.M collection!
