30 years ago, an unknown band from Finland released their first EP, 666 Ways To Love: Prologue. That band were Him, and in the new issue of Metal Hammer, frontman Ville Valo speaks exclusively about the history of the band and the incredible journey that saw them crowned kings of modern goth metal.
From their beginnings in Helsinki, to topping the charts, to being attacked by a fan with scissors, to their bittersweet goodbye tour – it’s all here. Although Ville has since embarked on a solo career under the name VV, the Him years remain special to him, and he’s open to a reunion.
