Him Again: Ville Valo is back with a solo project and familiar sound

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:47 GMT

Him Again: There was a period in the mid-naughts when Finnish gothic rock band HIM broke, and it felt like people basically melted. Every human being who was attracted to men, and a few who previously didn’t know that they were, seemed to gush over impossibly charismatic frontman Ville Valo and the music that he and his band tagged “love metal.”The band was about more than a handsome goth frontman though, that “love metal” was really a contemporary take on poetic goth, with some crunchy riffs.

Valo has been keeping busy between that and Neon Noir, his new solo album (released under the monik...
