Finland's H.I.M. (or His Infernal Majesty) set out on the path of goth forebears like Sisters of Mercy and the Mission UK. 666 Ways to Love (1996) was the group's first recording, and it did quite well in Scandinavia. One year later, Greatest Love Songs, Vol. 666 solidified their cult status throughout the region. Razorblade Romance (2000) and Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights (2002) were followed by the Europe-only Love Metal in 2003. A series of compilations followed, including And Love Said No: Greatest Hits 1997-2004, and two discs of rarities titled Uneasy Listening, Vol. 1 and Uneasy Listening, Vol. 2. Dark Light (2005) and Venus Doom (2007) followed. ~ Mario Mesquita Borges, Rovi
