We are launching a permanent section "Lost Tapes", within which we will post digitizations of HIM concerts from video cassettes! A whole box of cassettes was snatched from the community HIM's Almanac and now we are trying to squeeze something worthwhile out of them.

And the cassette with the show "MAXIDROM 2003 Best Performances" was the first to go into business. Several HIM songs are now available to watch in better quality than is available on the internet. More surprises to come!

Well, if you have VHS rarities with HIM lying around in your bins, contact us!

Today our fan club congratulates Mika Karppinen, also known as Gas Lipstik! HIM's hottest and sexiest drummer turns 51!

Gas' track record is impressive! Back in 1984, Lipstick drummed in the band Valvontakomissio, and later 10 years in the band Dementia. He played in the band Dischange, and also composed music, lyrics and played drums in the heavy metal band Kyyria. In 1999, Gas became the drummer for HIM, where he worked faithfully until 2015.

During his time at HIM, Gas worked on other projects in parallel. He participated in recording drums in a country project Jeff Walker Und Die Flüffers, recorded all drums for the band Eyes Of Eden in the album Faith, drummed on the whole album Roll Over! Play Dead! of the band Bendover, recorded two albums with the project To Separate The Flesh From The Bones and was noted at the band Kotipelto. And that's if we haven't missed anything :)

After leaving HIM, Gas released the album No Stars Upon The Bridge with Hallatar band, in which he still plays to this day. In 2018, Gas joined the superband We Sell The Dead, where we can see famous musicians from different countries. Together they released a full-length album Heaven Doesn't Want You And Hell Is Full.

Also, together with Linde, they created band called Flat Earth, which released their debut album None For One. Gas also managed to make a feat with 616 and Bam Margera. Now Gas has created another band Solitude, where he already acts as a guitarist.

We wish Gas further creative success and releases! We invite everyone to congratulate Mr.Lipstick at the comments!

After the dissolution of HIM, Ville toured with the Agents and, you could say, lay low. In 2020, he surprised his fans by releasing three new solo tracks in English. He lived a quiet life and rarely gave interviews to the media.

In the documentary, Valo will talk about the mistakes he made in his career. About the incident backstage at the Tavastia club in Helsinki. Ville has not been open about his personal life in the media, but it is now known that he is dating Christel Karhu, who has a career in modeling.

The documentary premiered at the end of January at the Docpoint festival. The film tells the story of the legendary Tavastia concert in Helsinki.

An excellent video about the lyrics of Ville Valo and HIM was released on the youtube channel of the "Disgusting Men" portal. The main text for him was the original text of Zhanna Mayorova, published a year earlier in the same place. We are in a hurry to share!
