Kala

from: Interscope Records

Release Date August 21, 2007
I'm intrigued. I have put myself into the position of responsibility to purchase a wide range of music that I might not otherwise be familiar with, and Kala is just such a purchase.

Quite honestly, I love her accent, and I love her quirky sense of style and artistic chaos. And that translates to the music. The irony being that the music is so "happy" and up-beat, and contrary to the opinion of another (obviously rhythmically challenged) reviewer, it is incredibly dance-able. In fact, if you do not move, then you either detest the music, or you have no sense of rhythm.

From the perspective of a musician and a bit of a "purist", the concept of sampling is a turn-off to me. However, when looking at the genius of such ... Read More:

Arular

Release Date May 17, 2005
This is a quote from a negative comment," This is the definition of drivel".

Please tell me what you like. To me, this is an example of a flow lyrically, and artistic beats, that combine to produce a vibe that I haven't heard in a looooong time! It's SEXY, political, and (((F@#king HUGE IN SOUND)))!!!!

Digital Versatile Doom: Live at the Orpheum Theater

by: H.I.M.

Release Date April 29, 2008
Valo and company really deliver on this album. The video is shot amazingly and the background on the stage really brings the show to an exclamation. The lights shine on the crowd and stage and bring an illuminescent feel to the show. With classics such as Funeral Of Hearts, Wicked Game, and Soul On Fire, their older songs show as much strength and power as newer ones like Passion's Killing Floor and Vampire Heart. Its great that the CD sounds like the DVD, and is a must have for any HIM fan.

Venus Doom

by: H.I.M.

Release Date September 18, 2007
This is HIM's best album ever simply because "Sleepwalking Past Hope" and "Cyanide Sun" are on it. The rest are good as well, especially "The Kiss Of Dawn" long version. If Mr. Valo could keep going in the progressive direction, he might end up a respectable artist in the long run. More mature, more guitar, less teeny bopper stuff... excellent.

Razorblade Romance

by: H.I.M.

Release Date October 28, 2003
This cd is terrible, just like all of HIM's other albums. This "band" is nothing more than a slick marketing machine: a bunch of goth posers wearing too much eyeliner, and of course with their own symbol, so that teenage girls can buy it and stick a "heartagram" on their backpacks. Avoid this at all costs, and buy a Katatonia album instead, if you want to hear the real thing instead of a shallow band built around gimmicks and a marketable image.

Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights

by: H.I.M.

Release Date September 28, 2004
I really like this CD- HIM character comes through true to form. This is more mellow overall than some of their releases. It is most alike Love Metal in my opinion. Good melodies, fairly even tempo'd and with some variety. I've enjoyed this one a lot and rate it 5 stars!

Love Metal

by: H.I.M. (His Infernal Majesty)

Release Date February 01, 2005
Poetic lyrics, couched in gothic imagery, tell of sexual love that dooms us to heartbreak. It is inevitable. You can't be blamed, and are forgiven. The tone, empathetic with female sexuality, seduces you. The intricately orchestrated hard rock enthralls you. The sweet voice comforts you. The artist's beauty saves you. You are loved.
