HIM Announce Anthology Spanning the Band’s Early Years
They may have disbanded back in 2017, but fans of Finnish band HIM have something to get excited about in the year of our lord 2024 and it’s a huge anthology highlighting the band’s early years.
Set to release on October 25, the collection will focus on HIM’s first four studio albums across 16 tracks. We’re talking songs from their 1997 debut album Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 to 2003’s Love Metal.
