Razorblade Romance

Limited edition release of their 2000 album with a bonus CD including 6 live tracks, 'Right Here In My Arms', 'Your Sweet 666', 'Poison Girl', 'Death is in Love With Us', 'Wicked Game' and 'Join Me', all songs were recorded live at the Werchter festival in July of 2000. Despite having releases available mostly on import, the Finnish metal band HIM has inspired an incredibly loyal cult following in the United States. HIM's dynamic music is based on an infectious blend of metallic riffs and goth keyboards. Mixing hard rock anthems with softer ballads, the band allows Valo to wax poetic (almost psychotic) about tragic love ('Join Me in Death'), romantic fatalism ('I Love You [Prelude to Tragedy]'), and monstrous obsession ('Right Here in My Arms').
