Finland (1991 – present)
There are multiple artists with this name
1) HIM, an alternative rock band from Finland.
2) HiM, a solo project put together in 1995 by Doug Scharin (drummer for June of 44, Rex, and Codeine).
3) HIM, acronym for “Hiromasa Ijichi Melodies,” a Japanese group.
1) Formed in 1991 by vocalist Ville Valo, guitarist Mikko Lindström (Linde), and bassist Mikko Paananen(Mige). Today the band consists of the previously named as well as a drummer Mika Karppinen(Gas) and a keyboardist Janne Puurtinen(Burton). The name HIM was originally an abbreviation for “His Infernal Majesty”, but was changed to the initials to avoid confusion with the occult. Also, the Finnish people were rarely able to actually pronounce the name correctly. The name “HIM” later caused confusion when touring in the US, because of another band using the same name (read below at 2)). For this reason, the band was -jokingly - for some time known as “HER” in the States, and even more jokingly HIM&Her in Germany.
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’ (1997) gained European fame due to the success of the cover of Wicked Game the album also featured a popular cover of
(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.

I just saw "Real Him" somewhere written and i lol'd. No such thing. I like their new albums much as i like the old ones. And this is maybe the only "Alternative" band that i can listen not including two Albums from Katatonia having Alternative Elements in them and new In Flames.

I've got all the HIM's albums, I've listened their music many times and I have to say that the whole new album seems to be commercial and uninspired. Of course they deserve for respect but lately they playing worse and worse...

@Lady Burlesque: Why? Everybody should listen what they want to, and listening only to ''super'' alternative bands who nobody knows just to look cooler is ridiculous.
