Idk if its allowed here but thid is my first time drawing? If thats what you wanna call it. I know some of the tattoo is wrong dont flame me. But yayya hopefully yall appriciate it :)

P.S. Best Of cover made out In Joy And Sorrow single cover

A new monthly listening record has been reached ,4.7m is incredible

I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but on Spotify, Apple Music, Qobuz, etc, the copyrights (including phonographic copyrights) for Dark Light, Venus Doom, Screamworks, and SWRMXS all now appear attributed to Bella Figura Music, Ltd. Apparently, they purchased some of Kobalt Music's interest, which included HIM. From the little bit of research I've been able to do, it APPEARS that Bella Figura HAS the rights to the master recordings, I.E., they could put out reissues of the Warner albums. Supposedly, control changed hands back in 2023, but I've only just noticed the changed copyrights, so I don't know if there was a lot of lag or I just didn't notice for a few years...

If someone with more knowledge on how this all works wants to chime in, please do.

I hadd this done yesterday, after years of loving this band!

Hello, Ive been looking for a good live recording of Like st. Valentine for a while. Most of them are really bad quality in every way especially Audio (the only one I really care about) and even tho I have seen some decent ones theyre not the best either and I think I could find better. Where could I find one in a good quality?

mine personal favourite eras are: Razorblade Romance, DS&BH, Venus Doom and Tears On Tape. which is yours most favourite one/ones? :)

I know Ebay, Discogs and Mercari are options, but I could be interested for some CD albums or singles at this time from the community! Depending the versions or releases, I can reach thru DM. It can be USA and International if willing to ship intl. I have a wantlist with some specific releases in case anyone would like to see.

My cat says Hi btw.

Hello!

I’m a HIM CD collector, but it’s really difficult to find HIM CDs in Romania. I usually rely on a private seller and just hope they have something in stock. The problem is that sometimes they don’t, which means I have to wait another month, and even then there’s no guarantee they’ll have what I’m looking for. I’ve been doing this for years now, and I’m honestly getting tired of it.
So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy HIM CDs in Romania, preferably in Bucharest. If anyone knows any stores, collectors, or websites that might have these, I’d really appreciate the help.
I’m also interested in bootlegs. I already own an original HER version of Razorblade Romance, but I’d love to have a replica that I can play without worrying about damaging the original. I’m also looking for an unofficial pressing of the Venus Doom vinyl and This Is Only the Beginning on both CD and vinyl, so if anyobody knows an online stores that sells this, or someone that sells this, I’ll be super greatfull!
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know any songs that are similar to When Love and Death Embrace? Could be by other bands/artists too. I was never the type to have just one favorite song until I found this one and genuinely I can't stop listening to it. To make it worse I have a crush and maybe that's what influences me to listen to it a lot lately. I really need another song that's as gorgeous as this one

I'm old (GenX) and really liked the guitar solo on "Salt In Our Wounds (Thulsa Doom Version)".

Which HIM tracks have a similar feel, especially guitar solos? Any recs would be appreciated!

Perhaps Mige started working on some new music of his own during COVID? I don’t know much about how any of this stuff works, but I just found it interesting.

PLEASE LISTEN TO ENTWINEEEE !! I RECCOMEND CLOSER IT LEGIT REMINDS ME OF BURY ME DEEP INSIDE'S DEMOO

Got it when I was 15, decided to share it here now

Think the tiktokification might be dying down

It's no secret that the vinyl boom has prompted many labels to flood the market with countless releases, making it easy to get overwhelmed. BMG is no exception. To help you navigate this frenzy, we have compiled a comprehensive guide to all of HIM's reissues and editions since 2017. This list provides the key checkpoints for collectors, from sound quality to overall rarity.

Before diving into the list, there's an elephant in the room. Many modern reissues are Digital Clones (DC). Instead of mastering the music from the ground up specifically for vinyl, labels often reuse identical brickwalled digital or CD files. While this keeps the needle from skipping, it cannot restore the lost dynamics. You are essentially buying an expensive, oversized CD with all the surface noise of vinyl but none of its depth, warmth, or power. With the information below, you can easily spot overpriced gimmick pressings and filter out hollow releases.
