The Irving Plaza in New York City, welcomed Finnish ‘Love Metallers’, H.I.M, to a sold-out crowd on Friday March 14, 2014.

The band originally formed way back in 1991 and has been rising steadily in popularity ever since.  Armies of die-hard H.I.M fans, sporting tattoos of the bands trademarked ‘Heartagram’ logo, span the world from Helsinki, to the Czech Republic, to the United States, and everywhere in between.  They currently have eight albums under their belt; including the RIAA gold certified fifth album, Dark Light, and most currently Tears on Tape, released April 26, 2013.

Presently, the band features Ville Valo (lead vocals/acoustic guitar), Mikko ‘Linde’ Lindstrom (lead guitar/acoustic guitar), Mikki ‘Mige’ Paananen (bass guitar/contrabass/backing vocals), Mika ‘Gas Lipstick’ Karppinen (drums/percussion), and Jaan ‘Burton’ Puurtinen (keyboards/piano/backing vocals).

The sold-out crowd in NYC was treated to an unforgettable event and National Rock Review photographer, Mark Doyle, was on hand to capture the experience.
