On the eve of his Australian tour, goth-rock icon Ville Valo (HIM/VV) has a chat with Maniacs. Ville opens up about his new album 'Neon Noir' and the enduring legacy of HIM, offers his reflections on living life as a 'goth sex symbol', calls out generic vocalists and provides a more wholesome and darkly humorous explanation for all those church burnings in Norway.
To help pass the time before the Finnish god of 'love metal' arrives, we've put together a wish list of five HIM classics we hope to see Ville Valo play when the 'Neon Noir' tour hits Australia in March.
Ville Valo has announced his first-ever solo tour of Australia and New Zealand. The frontman of iconic Finnish goth metallers HIM, Valo will bring material from his debut VV full-length, 2023's 'Neon Noir' to life, mixing in a selection of songs from HIM's celebrated catalogue for good measure.
With a new generation of metal acts taking full advantage of technological advances and some of the genres existing giants releasing landmark albums, 2003 was a year that metal truthers could thrust their horns in the air with pride. In recognition of this monumental moment in metal, we've pieced together a playlist of 23 Metal Anthems Turning 20 in 2023.
It's Valentine's Day, so tell that special Maniac how you feel in the love language you'll both understand with 'Songs That Scream I Love You Valentine's Day playlist for Maniacs'.
