His Infernal Majesty (usually shortened to HIM) has risen to the top of the goth rock scene. Finland appears to have a virtual lock on this style of music, what with Entwine, Poisonblack, For My Pain ..., To/Die/For, and others all providing similarly enjoyable takes on melancholy hard rock. HIM is as good as any, not radically different from any of the aforementioned bands, but they hit all the right notes, and in heartthrob vocalist Ville Valo they have a true star, a charismatic frontman able to lead the band as far as they can go. Already massively popular in their homeland and still on the rise, HIM is clearly one of the top bands in their field.
