Performer: H.I.M. (Goth Rock)
Engineer: Jamie Seyberth; Tim Palmer Producer: Tim Palmer Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: Issued in 2008, this CD/DVD release presents HIM (aka His Infernal Majesty) performing many of its finest goth-metal anthems in front of a rapt Los Angeles audience. In addition to a fierce, amped-up take on Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game," the Finnish band runs through beloved originals such as the brooding "Wings of a Butterfly" and the surging "Passion's Killing Floor," essentially making DIGITAL VERSATILE DOOM a live greatest-hits album.
The Finnish group His Infernal Majesty began life in the early 1990s as a heavy-metal cover band, and slowly emerged as a serious songwriting unit, releasing their first album of melodic goth rock in 1997. While they won over their home country, and eventually Europe, it wasn't until the release of their fourth album, LOVE METAL, in 2004, that they started gaining recognition in the U.S., thanks in part to a promotional effort by MTV's Bam Margera, who took to wearing the group's heart/pentagram logo on the air. Audiences appreciated the soaring melodies, the textured guitars, and the exotic appeal of lead singer Ville Valo. By the time their 2005 album, DARK LIGHT, came out, they were bona fide stars, and their record shot up the U.S. charts.
