The reason why I chose to talk about these guys on the following topic is due to the fact this band made a pretty awesome cover of the song Wicked Game.
HIM are a rock band from Helsinki formed in 1991 and they are composed by Ville Valo, vocalist, Mikko Lindström, lead guitarist, Mikko Paananen, bassist, Mika Karppinen, current drummer, and Janne Puurtinen, keyboard-player. Up to moment HIM have released 7th albums and they are currently working on their eight, called Tears on Tape, to be released on 2013.
Him initially started as cover band of artist such as Type O Negative, Black Sabbath, Kiss and Depeche Mode. After having gain some success HIM decided to make their 1st recording studio album, called Greatest Love Song Vol.666, on November 20 1997, ending up to conquer the Scandinavian market and since them HIM's success has been growing bigger.
However this rock band made a great cover of Wicked Game their songs, in other hand, are poorly awful mostly because the lyrics are cheesy and have no strong content or either sense-Join me in Death clearly shows how HIM can be serious ridiculous.Owner lyrics such as "Baby Join me in Death" or"Wont you tonight die for love" reveal certainly that Ville Valo needs to wake up for reality and compose more realist and shock song letters and leave the sentimental suicide crap aside - In addiction His Infernal Majesty's instrumental sounds like Slash is having a bad day, meaning, they are danger to your precious ears. Furthermore the guitar solos sound s like a kid in it's eights is trying to show to daddy «I can pull some guitar moves» .An advice? Be more creative when it comes to riffs and make them last longer and louder.
This band still needs to mature in musical terms, in other words , they should explore more heavy themes and let go the emo love metal sound in hiatus. Hopefully with the next new album to be launched soon HIM will give us some real rock'n roll sounds.
