HIM celebrated the release of their new record at Kingīs Kakadu yesterday. And this must have been one of the most bizarre and original parties that Iīve even been at.
Subtitle: "GLS release party: 1) the musicians serve as waiters and doormen for most of the time, 2) Not a single own song on the setlist."
Antto: We have red smashed potatoes here, sauteed reindeer, lingonberry and strawberry pudding with vanilla cream as desert".
[Journalist asks Ville:] You said in an interview that you long for a sinful atmosphere. Is that why weīre here now?
No, I actually said the exact opposite: this isnīt exciting. Clubs like this commercialise and banalise sex, sexuality and love way too much. Itīs not possible anymore to... Iīm old school - "Gone with the wind" -- rather than "Kingdom of Sensuality".
Is romantic love for you the thing that you write about?
Yes, the more decadent side of it, when the first flush of love and the romance starts to wear off and the harsh reality reveals itself. I love to exaggerate the emotions a little, I think itīs the best way. For example like the emotions in old Finnish fims are exaggerated, theyīre very strong and actors clearly overdo it. I donīt long for the old times, but I do think itīs an era that had itīs benefits. Itīs the same aswith the 80īs: that eraīs not rehabilitated yet, people are still ashamed of Dingo [a Finnish band from the 80īs] and lots of good bands, quilted jackets and moonboots. I wouldnīt wear those myself, but I could accept my lady wearing them -- without losing the Something [laughs].
Subtitle: "On the same occasion, also a new concept was introduced: Love Metal. The pseudo-satanistic appraisal of decadent love = soft granite "
Can you write about anything other than love?
I always write about love for women, but you can love so many different things. But so far I havenīt been able to.. I donīt subscribe to Helsingin Sanomat [a newspaper], so I canīt give any political statements. Thatīs my problem, and Iīm sure Iīll subscribe to all kinds of papers and magazines as soon as Iīve gotten fed up with love. But please note: Iīm only 20 so what do I know? Iīm sort of a prepubertic high preast of Angst, so I think itīs going to take me a while before I know women.
