Wille has known Niclas for years and says that he already sees "Tony" and Linde as his brothers despite the short time they've been together. "When Ni...

The video will be available via this link on the 20th March or below:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0c8VWjZfms&feature=youtu.be&goal=0_4722c36409-77e0532399-85731087&mc_cid=77e0532399&mc_eid=b02e9ed394 "Draining by your flame" is about waking up to the situation where the never-ending party has turned a bit sour, and the toll of self-indulgence is getting way too costly.

December 2017 saw the creators of love metal, Finnish band HIM calling it a day.  It hasn't been long but they are missed dearly already so we decided to be nostalgic and look back at some of their best music videos especially in aid of Valentine's day on the 14th February and them being the creators of 'love metal'.

An essential masterful video from the band. Wings Of A Butterfly It is very atmospheric, dark and cinematic video and well produced, making it one of their best  and most stand out videos. The song is ridiculously catchy also, again another must-see video in their releases. Buried Alive By Love This was one of their best and most popular songs and videos. Set in an ol...
