“If there’s ever a band more torn between its dark and dangerous side (thus the pentagram) and its romantic, sensitive side (the heart), it’s His Infernal Majesty. The Finnish act, better known by its HIM acronym, never quite makes peace between its lover and devilish ends on Greatest Love Songs, Vol. 666. It doesn’t even try. It’s safely at home in the world of Interview with a Vampire, where classic romance blooms in the darkest of murk. While it’s a formula that makes Chris Carrabba and Peter Murphy sound dispassionate, it comes closer to succeeding on this album than HIM’s ever done before.” ~ read full review by Matt Schild
