Released in 1999, Razorblade Romance is HIM’s second studio album and the record that propelled them to international fame.
Blending gothic rock, alternative metal, and dark romanticism, the album showcases Ville Valo’s deep, haunting vocals, poetic lyrics, and the band’s signature "love metal" sound—where passion and melancholy collide.

The album is best known for its breakout hit "Join Me in Death," which became a massive success across Europe, particularly in Germany and Finland. Other standout tracks like "Right Here in My Arms" and "Gone With The Sin" emphasize themes of love, tragedy, and devotion, wrapped in moody melodies and powerful guitar work.

With a mix of melancholy ballads and high-energy gothic anthems, Razorblade Romance remains one of HIM’s most iconic albums, solidifying their place in alternative rock history.
