HIM - Born Again Romantics - Michl Technik

HIM’s journey from homeland obscurity to huge global success has been a triumph for both the band and for Finnish rock generally, a genre which prior to the group’s breakthrough had struggled to attract an international audience. Having coined the phrase "love metal" to describe their melodic, hard-edged but emotionally charged sound they’ve been honing their craft since 1991 and in that time have built up an extraordinary back catalogue as they’ve branched out from Scandinavia across Europe and now the world. With their US breakthrough album "Dark Light" going gold, HIM has since cemented their place on the top table of rock-metal.

HIM: Born Again Romantics reveals the full inside story of Ville Valo’s gang, with rare band footage, exclusive interviews with those closest to them (including the first ever filmed interview with Ville’s father, Kari Valo) plus with fellow musicians, the finest rock journalists, and the Finnish radio DJ who was instrumental in his support at the start. Also including seldom seen photographs, news reports, broadcasts and many other features (including a host of ‘EXTRAS’) this documentary is a must-have item for all fans of this astonishing and ever creative collective.
