The EP, ‘666 Ways to Love: Prologue’ (1996) was their EP released only in Finland and only 1,000 were produced making it worth up to $700 and has been sold on eBay for more. HIM’s first full length album Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666[/album]’ (1997) gained European fame due to the success of the cover of Wicked Game the album also featured a popular cover of
