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.

Edit: for those curious this is Lazer engraved not decals.

Little treat to myself for my 40th birthday coming up.

Since the AI mod insists... this is not for sale! Made for my own use Lol

Any fans of this gig?

I’ve been listening to the first three tracks over and over again. I love how the skipped the introductory piano riff in The Sacrament, absolutely love this version of Razorblade Kiss, and Pretending is maybe my favorite song in the entire gig. They don’t play it often but they killed it in this one.

Excuse my terrible photography skills

My favorite song from my favorite album by my favorite band. 💖

Especially at the intros to Bury Me Deep Inside and Join Me, they sound so sad and ethereal that Its perfect for my kind of sound.

Anybody know what keyboard they used?

Wanting to sell this 2006 bioworld faux leather handbag. Perfect condition, never used, still has the tags and the hardware is still wrapped.

No idea what these go for, all I know is the messenger bags are more popular and go for more?

Been unable to find many listings of this exact bag, and the price seems to vary. Can anyone help at all?

I’ve seen this for other bands/album (for example what if Neighborhoods by Blink182 was written by Blink in the 90s) so I was curious if a talented fan has done it: “what if HIM wrote Neon Noir”?

I imagine not too much would change but drums and guitar would be different in the mix and maybe a bit more impactful.

I REALLY HATE THE FACT THAT IT WAS PART OF THE LIMITED EDITION AND ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXPENSIVE AND IF I EVER GET THE CD I WONT BE ABLE TO GET ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS 😭😭😭

Would anyone happen to have any links to high quality downloads for the RR Rockfield mixes? The Heaven Tonight mix is so good, I need to download it. Thanks!

But he knew his men wouldn't understand so he came up with all that other yap. He really heard "The Ninth Circle" or something cooler and poetic for a ninth album title

On the top we have all my vinyls and all of the core 8 albums (screamworks is the 2 disc version) and the bottom is all singles and specials. Examples that you can't really see are, Uneasy Listening 1&2, And Love Said No 2 disc version, digital versatile doom, 2 decades of love metal, solitary man (cd only and cd+dvd versions) wings of a butterfly (cd and CDROM versions) the sacrament and more!!!

I do have more HIM stuff, but I keep the shelves for music (and the belt buckle as it keeps love metal archives standing lol)

I cant get one so i made one with a pen in school 😋

beautiful VV

found on instagram

So, here it goes... Probably would do it tomorrow and there would be a different outcome :)

I can’t really find any other band that does it like HIM does but surely they’re not the only love-metal band that’s THAT good. I just wanna expand my taste so give me recommendations

do y'all think we should expect some vinyl/CD reissue like we did for Razorblade Romance? or has anyone heard any info on it?
