I'm Not Even Going to Acknowledge Today's Shitstorm; Instead: Mind-Numbing Entertainment!

Okay. I have to write 120-150 words on His Infernal Majesty. (Which, to be honest, comes off like some kind of cult to me.) They're playing on November 12 at the Palladium

Ah-ha! I thought so! So, why do you like them? What's the appeal? I'm just not sure I "get" them, so I wanted to hear it from you...

well first off, i have no idea why they are playing with Auf De Mar and Monster Magnet...there music is fairly heavy with lyrics about love. their most recent record is called "Love Metal" which is a great description of their music. the appeal, other than that, im not sure. they have sort of the goth appeal and metal edge, coated in romantic/love oriented lyrics. the symbol commenly (actually IS) associated with HIM is the heartagram. this was made popular by Bam Margera who is basically obsessed with HIM. i heard he saw them over in Europe and liked them so much that he got them signed over here. he's BAm he can do that.

you should check them out, i think you'd like them.

Yay! Awesome ... thanks, Andy. This is incredibly helpful. These guys just seemed to come out of nowhere; the Bam Margera connection makes a lot more sense. Ah, yes, the heartagram ... THIS IS SUCH A CULT.

Honestly.

But it would be a much more appealing religion than most. I have to say, those are some pretty hot Finnish dudes ... gotta love the fact that Ville Vallo is showing off his tattooed treasure trail in almost every promo shot ...

...they are amazing though!
