According to the bands official website: “After 6 years and three albums, Finnish rock band HIM and Sire/Warner Music have decided to part ways. Seymour Stein, founder of Sire Records says: “It was a pleasure working with HIM, and we’re very proud to have been their partners for the last six years. Ville is a rare talent, and my relationship with their manager Seppo dates back to the days when he pioneered rock music in Finland looking after the career of Hanoi Rocks. HIM are particularly important because they are the first and only band from Finland to reach Gold status in America. I, along with the entire Sire/Warner Bros. family, wish them continued success in the future.”

‘i dreamt the image one night, opened up the toolbox in the morn and started smashing the vhs tape to a gazillion tiny bits with a hammer. after its guts were splattered on my kitchen floor, i rather delicately forced the tape to form a heartagram. not too different than creating a remix, see?’ – Valo

As many of  you have noticed, this site has not been updated as frequently as I would like. The reason – LIFE!  I have more on my plate than I can chew and some of my hobbies have had to be put on standby. It saddens me to have to let go of this website after almost one year of existence, so I have instead decided  to reach out to the HIM community and ask for your help.

Who I’m looking for: 

• English speaking fans to help out with the updates on this website .
• Portuguese fans to administrate the new Portuguese version of the HIM Library which I am planning to create, including translation of the main site info and future updates. (Since the HIM Library is a Portuguese based fansite, it’s only fair that there is a version in our native language as well… não é verdade?)
• I will accept collaboration from other (non-english) HIM fansites if you are interested in a partnership. (read post for details)

If you are interested in becoming a part of the HIM Library staff, please continue rading…

I just wanted to let you know that I haven´t updated this site lately because I am working and traveling on business. I hope to have it up and running at full speed again after April 15th. In the meantime you can browse around the HIM Library for lots of other info on the band. For recent updates you can check out their official website or other HIM fansites (view sidebar).
