Band introduction:

Will Herman Vallo, a pioneer of hard rock who once laughed at himself, was also a painful poet. When he is on the stage, he holds a bottle of red wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other. This seems to be a copy of jim morrison, but Valo's voice is deeper and more emotional, and he will keep attracting your attention. Valo's mother is a Hungarian immigrant, so it's no wonder that Valo's appearance is black, just like Drakula's blood is flowing in his body. He's short for hell. This is him. He used to work in his father's sex shop. During that time, the child with an angelic face and a demonic smile seemed to be all right, but he always had a dream. When the music around him woke him up, the child began to pursue more things. He thinks that a lot of music lacks soul and imagination, and he wants a kind of music-it can move you, make you cry and leave a deep mark on your mind. But he finally realized his dream. ...

At that time, three guys wanted to express their ideas with music. These guys have been good friends since childhood. They are Will Hermanny Vallo, Miko Miko Lindstrom (also known as Linde, Lindy or Lily Razer) and Miko Paananen (also known as Mig Amur). At first, Vere played the bass, but because MiG also played the bass, Vere began to be the lead singer. Before he was founded, Weil played bass in an avant-garde band called Donits-Osmo. After that, I also tried to cooperate with several people, Ultra Bra. Ville made some demo tapes for Mige, and Mige was immediately attracted. They are going to form a band now, and they need a drummer after making their familiar Linde a guitarist. Ville's new friend Suho (the lead singer of Datura) gave him Patak's phone number (real name is Mikko Rantala), and the band was formed. Patac is from Slumgudgeon, a garage rock band in La Plata. (The rest of the band laughed at Patac's origins, because La Plata is a small town in eastern Finland. )。

"Everyone else thinks I'm a man like a sinister woman-hopeless. The name of the band represents my prestige, and sometimes I get a little angry. In any case, his hellish majesty has nothing to do with religious belief or ideology-the number 666 in the content of the work has nothing to do with the number of wild animals. Sometimes when I read that some people burned Finnish historical churches or associated our names with the Black Sabbath and the Devil's Castle Orchestra as naming inspiration, I was indignant at these people! "

Will Hermanny Vallo finally founded him in the summer of 1995, surrounded by some of his old friends, who * * * enjoyed the reputation that Will once called himself "the metal of love". Will said this about love metal. "Love metal includes fashion, metal, Gothic, magic and other elements. This inspiration comes from the feeling of first contact and first kiss. Love metal is like the poster of Gone with the Wind-clark gable hugs Vivien Leigh in the sunset. "

In their initial performance, there really wasn't much music of their own to perform. Their music mixes the styles of Rauli Bad Ding Somerjoki, Dingo, WASP, Kiss, Depeche Mode and Type O 'Negative. Weil thinks their music should be like the combination of the Fog Devil Castle Band and Depeish mode in david lynch movies. So the band (actually Ville) began to write their own music.

His first EP came out in the autumn of 1996. The name is "666 Ways of Love"-the photo on the cover of the record is a photo of Will's mother when she was young. The "evil game" in this EP sounds like a chris isaak-style pop song, but it is a major breakthrough for them. The song expresses the emotion in the TV series Twin Peaks with a soft guitar.

At the end of 1996, Ville provided the background harmony for the album "Keep your troubles in your dreams" of 69 eyes. After the band's EP was released, they called a new member-keyboard player Antto Melasniemi, who is also an old friend of Ville. At the same time, the name of the band was shortened-now we just call him.

The wicked game is an "important theme" in their first album released in the autumn of 1997. The strong guitar in the album enriches his musical image, but the spiritual essence of self-reflection in the songs has not changed. .

"I can fully understand the emotions reflected in that song, and these are the melancholy feelings expressed by our music. Compared with other energetic metal bands, I have more similarities with chris isaak after all. I hate cheerful music! It's a noisy but happy song for you. You must know what I mean, right? "When Love Embraces Death" reflects my views on those boring pop songs in the 1980s from another aspect. "

His debut album "The Great Love Song" Vol.666 has a single called "Your Sweet 666". For Will and him, 666 represents all the contradictions-the gods and demons in love. Love is broader than life itself but close to death, constantly wandering between lust, purity and spirit.

"666 represents the kind of thing you always have, the kind of thing you have to get, but it will eventually destroy you. This kind of thing tastes sweet and bitter, just like Belgian beer, hahahaha ... "This is the masculine Villvalo on the cover of the 666th volume of The Great Love Song, surrounded by burning flames. This is Virva Valo, who began to learn to play the bass just to watch the fireworks in gene simmons's performance, and started his own music career. This is Virva Luo, who thinks that stage performance is a kind of spiritual masturbation to himself. The boy who used to work in a sex shop now has his own band HIM, and they just released the most influential debut album in the 1990s.

There is also a slow song "Don't be afraid" in this single record, which was first recorded by the Blue Oyster Cult in the 1970s. "You might say that Romeo and Juliet are heroes and heroines in our music-that's why we should put (don't be afraid of) death. The first time I heard it was a cover of Halloween, and I still remember it. "

Since then, he has worked hard to make arrangements for their future. The band's second album, originally titled "Slippery when I Die", was dedicated to Vere's favorite Bon Jovi. The album was originally scheduled to be released in the spring of 1999, but they encountered some problems. Anto left the band in the autumn of 1998, and was replaced by Yousimico Salminen (alias Zoltan· Bruto or Juska). Juska is his die-hard fan, Mary-Ann, a magic band from Kouvola. The first collaboration with him was the first friendship performance of the band 1998 1 1 in Germany. 1At the end of 1998, HIM made a series of tours in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

1At the end of 998, Weil once again provided harmony for the 69 Eyes's album Waste Dawn. He also actively helped the pre-production of the tonic, which provided a good guide for the completion of the album.

Their album took almost the whole 1999 to record. They cooperated with Patac, but they didn't satisfy the band. Since Patac's girlfriend got pregnant, he stopped working in the band 100%. So Patac finally left the band and Mika Karppinen took his place (aka Lipstick or Kaasu). Kasu used to be a member of Kyria. So he re-recorded the album in Wales. 1999165438+1October, they finally released the new EP "Join Me", which appeared in roland emmerich's film "13rd Floor". After the release of this single, it quickly became popular in Finland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Before they released their second album, HIM also made guest appearances with other Finnish bands, such as the recording of Nelja Ruusua's MV and the single Hunningolla. In a TV program called "Laulava Sydan", Ville sang three songs of Rauli Badding Somerjoki (which were released in a collection of Finnish artists) with her agent.

In June 5438 +2000 10, HIM released their second Qvanxian Zhang album, but the name was changed to "Razorblade Romance". This album has set a record of number one sales in Finland, Germany and Austria. The cover of this album adopts the style of the 1980s, with pink as the background and gothic black changed. In the spring (especially Valentine's Day in Germany), the band continued to release the band's second EP "In My Arms". This record ranks first in Finland and 2 1 in Germany.

On June 17, HIM performed the only guest performance in 2000 in his hometown of Finland, and cooperated with the avant-garde metal band Seinajoki. In the spring of the same year, HIM released his third single "Poison Girl", which ranked third in Finland and 34th in Germany. When July and August came, he had recorded a demo in Hollola to release a new album. At that time, there was a rumor that the band had finished 1 1 a new single.

At this time, HIM's popularity in Greece is getting higher and higher, and record sales are also among the top ten. At this time, Will went back to make background music for the 69 Eyes's new album, which will be released in September 2000.

In August, 2000, HIM went to Britain to shoot two MVs, which were ready to be released immediately. There are also rumors that Desmond julia child is involved in the production of the new album-Desmond julia child is a famous composer of Bon Jovi and alice cooper.

Band description:

Will Herman Vallo is a self-pioneer of hard rock, and also a poet who has suffered a lot. On the stage, he is holding a bottle of red wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other, as if jim morrison is a replica of the past, but Valo's deep and emotional voice can attract your attention more. Valo's mother is a Hungarian immigrant, so it's no wonder that Valo's appearance is dark and his body is full of vampire blood like a vampire. HIM is the acronym of His Majesty the Hell. This is him-working in his father's sex shop. During that time, the children's angelic face and demonic smile looked normal, but he was always a dream. When he was awakened by the music around him, the children began to pursue more things. He thinks a lot of music lacks soul and imagination, and he hopes to be a kind of music-it can touch you, make you cry in pain and leave a deep mark in your heart. However, he finally realized his dream. ......

At that time, there were three guys who wanted to express their ideas with music. This guy was a good friend since childhood. They are Will Hermanny Vallo, Miko Miko Lindstrom (also known as Linde, Lindy or Lily Razer) and Miko Paananen (also known as Mig Amur). At the beginning, the bass played the bass, because the bass can be played, so the lead singer started with the bass. He, before he was founded, called a Donits-Osmo band to be an avant-garde bass player. After Ultra Bra tried to cooperate with several people. Will made a band for Miguel to listen to, and Miguel immediately attracted attention. They want to form a band, and after getting familiar with their guitarist Linde, they are short of a drummer. Ville's new friend Suho (lead singer Jimsonweed) gave him the phone number of Patak (real name is Mikko Rantala), and the band was formed. Patak from Lappeenranta is a garage rock band Slumgudgeon. (The band always teases others about Patak's origin, because Lappenranta is a small town in eastern Finland. ).

"Others think that I am a woman as insidious as a man-hopeless. The name of the band represents my prestige, and sometimes I am a little angry. His hellish majesty, or in any case, has nothing to do with religious belief, which has nothing to do with ideology-the 666 content of his works has nothing to do with the number of animals. T. Sometimes when I read that some people associate the burning Finnish church with our name or with the inspiration for the naming of the Black Sabbath and the Devil's Castle Orchestra, I am indignant at these people! "

In the summer of 1995, Ver Herman Vallo finally formed a world of him. Among some old friends around him, they shared what Ver once called "love metal". Will's love for metal is as follows: "Love metal, including pop, metal, gothic and magical elements. This is the first contact, inspired by the feeling of the first kiss. Love metal is like gone with the wind, painting is like a poster-clark gable hugs Vivien Leigh in the sunset. "

In their first performance, it is not how much of their music can be used for performance. Their music is a mixture of Rauli Badding Somerjoki, Dingo, WASP, KISS, Depeche Mode and O' Negative style.
