HIM Keep It Old School

For the past three years or so, HIM has been my guilty little secret. Up until Sunday, I'd only ever seen one person in Toronto sporting a HIM T-shirt with the band's trademark heartagram symbol. This particular night, however, there were hundreds. You'd think people had to make a purchase at the merch booth before being allowed to enter the...

HIM — Dark Light

in
Popular in their native Finland and parts of Europe for over 10 years, HIM hope their fifth album will be the one to break the North American market and take all its brooding, wannabe-goth rock bands to school.
