[96hisinfernalmajesty]

[sarajka43]

Am I the only one who can´t see the lyrics? :((( Love this song!!

[skjef]

from 2:20 is the best part of HIM, have I ever heard

[mamajaromira]

@skjef my dear love, we are 2 parts of the same song, for me the best is the beginnig to 2:20 :-))

[hananahisbananas]

I actually like his voice in this song

[gilllie666]

[MrAlek888]

they tried to sound like black sabbath..lol..

[Magirk38]

Awesome song

[xiantelurio]

i love the old him and the old manson

[Italianalice]

Best part for me: 2:22 to 3:20 But i like the whole song !

[MamaAki]

@Italianalice true. I make your words mine too

[Italianalice]

@MamaAki True fans love the old songs. And not just Join Me in Death and The Funeral of Heart (even if they are cool too :) )

[pixelwhore88]

@Italianalice couldn't agree more mate! :)

[dammit066]

@Italianalice yes yes we do but also their new music well i do anyway :)

[Italianalice]

@dammit066 Sure we do ! :) I can't wait for the new album! I don't remember when they think it will be finish... I learnt that gas had problems in his arms ! :( And HIM cd's (and merch) are so hard to find in France ):

[foreverloveless27]

wheres the lyrics???

[mamajaromira]

Does anybody know a correct lyrics of this song? I found couple of version – totally different, and I’m confused. Thx for help me

[SininenSin]

@mamajaromira pon the wings of a demon She rides Oh, she comes to me and Fills me with light Towards the dark side of the moon We climb She sings me a tune away though the silvery starlight I dont want to wake up this time I'm alive on this serpent ride In the grace of our love We writhe in pain Ferther into the sunlight fog Mesmerised Drop of her blood tastes like wine I answer her call With a pride that is not dead Which can eternal life And is strange aeons death may die

[MrShanemaloney]

this is the first time i actually listened to this song (in full) damn i missed out :(  i didnt listen to it cause i didnt like the bad quality and the crappy start, but this song is actually amazing :)

[luckytyka]

His voice...my god....

[razorbladekissss]

the raw music/demo tracks are soooo much better than the studio sound. it's a travesty!

[KatherineInBraille]

From her wrtists flows wine...I love this song like hell.

[kebab1409]

[infamousshadow92]

[Heliosphan15]

this is some damn good music

[chrisrydr1121]

I like their newer stuff better,...better lyrics, singing, more maturity in their songs :D the nightside of eden, acoustic funeral, dead lovers lane, and of course,..the path :D

[bleedingemogirl14]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[HisDoom666]

This Made Me Very Nearly Cry..Brilliance Throughout.!..What They Have Been Is Brilliant..Who They Are Is Brilliant..What They Are Becoming Is Knowing And Brilliant.. .BRILLIANT.

[MartaLorenz]

mhm :)

[Fighter9876]

wow, their sound has obviously changed alot.. i mean if you listen to Screamworks, and then listen to this... its way different. personally i like the gloom and doom metal kinda stuff they used to do, but hey, HIM can't sound the same forever :)

[TheLucijaN]

its doom metal! :P

[vanrok]

i love this demo

[Manders1144]

CORRECTION! It's not love metal, That didn't develop until the album "Love Metal" ergo, the title. This my friend, Is doom metal.

[lenferist]

i loved this sound...

[metulisblet]

i absolutely love their old demos.

[6565360]

fucking lyrical genius

[cobhcd23]

this is heavy shit!!!fuck yeah!!

[hispoisongirl36]

well said, demonicflyingunicorn.

[DemonicFlyingUnicorn]

Thank you. :D

[24014dp]

it is amazing that Ville Valo referenced H.P. Lovecraft.

[JamesWyndorf]

H.P. Lovecraft's the undisputed master of macabre, fiction and horror whereas HIM are undisputedly the number 1 rock band, the cream of the crop as you might dare to say, indeed.

[Melooody1000]

I love the way how He singing ... Sexy man , sexy voice , sexy his ... Anyway ;D

[dabiiddu]

For You Demoo!!!

In the grace of our love

We whrite in pain...

for you :)

[Kat456789]

yes i love that lyric! <3

[TheDislocated]

I'd like to hear this rerecorded

[thelandofshadow83]

(SERPENT RIDE)-

DARK, GOTHIC, ROCK.

[XxkittenkattxX]

2:20 - 3:21 is my favorite part of this song i feel like i can relate to those lyrics too

[PaulaPOISONx]

I love this song its the BEST <3 <3 <3 its sounds like a rock version of that mad egyption tune thingy if ya know what i mean lol xD its amazing <3

[CapnWillTurner2]

I'll agree the ones after Love Metal weren't the absolute best, but at least they tried, right? Either way, maybe the new one will be like their former albums. :)

[MikazuTV]

i think greatest lovesongs vol.666 was good and some songs from razorblade romance, love metal and dark light were good. but deep shadows was more than terrible album :(

VENUS DOOM is best HIM album and i wish that HIM keeps making so good albums as venus doom.

[Doolex32]

you know that you lose all arguments automatically when personally attacking people..calling people cocksuckers isn't a valid point ever

[Doolex32]

whitesnake is like the worst band ever..plus they can never ever be called love metal because HIM was the band that coined that term anyways..

plus HIM is probably the best band ever, and it's gothic metal for the people who are still trying to figure out what it is

[payam120]

actully gothic rock but ok

[mreman239]

Technically they are Gothic MEtal but us HIM fans all know they are truly Love Metal!

[HeartaboyHIM]

no it isn´t metal it´s actually "dark rock" but they call their music love metal and it doesn´t matter to me wich genre it is it´s just fucking sick and i love it..

[yomomma3131]

wow, if some1 says this shit is any type of metal im gonna fuckin explode...there is no such thing as "love metal" the closest thing to "love metal" is White Snake or some other old bands who had the gonja in them... this if anything is alternative shit?

[XMcMahanX]

from 3:00 to 3:30 Ville sounds a bit like Jim Morrison

[HeartaboyHIM]

it´s not goth rock is´t darkrock :P that´s is at least what on wikipedia about him is to read ^^

[D3C3MB34]

not dark rock either they sing Love Metal

[HeartaboyHIM]

but i dont understand why they didn´t realesed the deleted finnisch version of the heartless i think this version is epic but the normal the heartless verion is maybe the worst him song (thats of course my opinion :D)

[Stigmatauri616]

U are idiot!!! There is a deeleted ver. (or EP ver. as I call it...) just look for it on youtube!

[VampireripmaV]

The middle section of this song (2:20) can be also heard (without vocals) on the Greatest Lovesongs vol. 666 album when you wind it all the way to track 66 and 6 seconds :)

[Stigmatauri616]

no actually in track 666 is the part of the heartless demo!

[vilamora23]

to the ones talking about knowing something from HIM, i must say, that HIM was always His Infernal Majestic, back in 1992, that is how they named themselves before recording their earliest track which was Borellus. And its not Midge, it is Mige.

[Stigmatauri616]

lol they were His Infernal MAJESTY!

[pascalleviolet]

razorblade romance was so cool.. i like venus doom.. i like their harder music.

[666TheDarkKing666]

also HIM doesn't stand for his infernal majesty theres no punctuation marks so therefore its not an abbreviation

id say this song was recorded back when they were called his infernal majesty

and to the dude below, id say midge did the bass work seeing as he has been with the band right from the start.

[666TheDarkKing666]

lol HIM are not a metal band

they played goth rock before they released razorblade romance

[imokbutcursed]

i love this song ville recorded the drums and bass too as well as vocals

[hukkunut]

Actually Ville 'N Danny shared the work, Ville played Vocals and drums, while Danny played Guitar and bass. ;)

[XanaXaquilinaX]

one of the heaviest songs from him. fucking love it!

They should make an album for their heavier songs!

[mergim0603]

][-][.][.][\/][

ROCKSSSS

[LyraBlack666]

I LOVE this song !

HIM 4-ever !

[cky2k7]

sounds like fucking gods smack!! booooo

[hardyrulez96]

was there another band that did this before HIM?

[soulfirebeyonddeath]

Fucking great text!

Fucking great sound!

Fucking great singer!

Fucking grat band!

Well...I love this finnish gods!

Love Metal forever!

[heartagramholly]

This is one of the best HIM songs Ive ever heard, they really need to re-release it. The bridge is a great change, the harmonics are awesome, the lyrics rock (a lot of HP Lovecraft inlfluence), and a nice, hard sound.

[midnightarcana]

Yeah, I totally agree, Him really needs re-release the demos, cause it's so awesome. I think they should consider going back to their roots

[hotelthehookers]

me too........back to gothic

[hotelthehookers]

well,not exactly back to gothic.this is the only period wher His Infernal Majesty were really gothic....that's because they became mainstream after all.if they had steayed a true gothic metal band,they would be splendid.even now they are my favorite.......

[xxrandomxxx]

his voice has changed a lot since these demos, but that doesn't mean it's any worse. his voice is still amazing, just in a new way

[ghostlykhaoz23]

who cares about his voice, HIM is still the best fucking band in the world

[LeaValo27]

thanks but i found it already

:)

[PhoenixofTrinity]

I sooooooooooooooooooooooo love his voice here... why did he had to smoke so much!!!!!! WHY GOD WHY!!!!, well, I don't really believe in God, it was just o make this more dramatic.but gotta admit, if you listen a song from venus doom after this, *sigh* Gosh I miss this voice...

[Tyriantube]

he claims to have gotten his singing voice from smoking, and i believe he was already smoking at the time of recording.

[PhoenixofTrinity]

yeah but this was like, years ago. now his voice is completely fucked up... it's so saddening, if you realize he could singlike this....

[Rain207]

people are always saying that his voice has changed so much

but like how??

coz i listne to other songs and then new ones, i think the way he sings now is pretty damn good, like more deep

how do you think it sounded then, like why do u think its better??

[PhoenixofTrinity]

well, as you cmpare the songs, you can hear this one is so much deeper... and ofcourse, his voice now is making much more false notes you know... It's not as pretty as it is now... you just gotta hear and compare, only then you know... I just prefer his voice here, and not on the new songs... The best one to compare is bleed well I guess... It's easy to hear there that his voice has changed...

[hotelthehookers]

I have heard almost all their songs and I dont think it has changed anything from for example greatest lovesongs vol666 to venus doom.....

[Ci4nyde]

so u must be deaf

[hotelthehookers]

hey you really misunderstood my comment.I told that about ville's accent as a reply to pascallviolet.if I had said such thing I HAD to be deaf,you are right.

[Ci4nyde]

ah ok, sorry then

[pascalleviolet]

he has a less finish accent now

[Greenfreakstudios]

Cool! Die alten Lieder sind fast schon besser als die jeztigen

[prue66611]

can i have this??

it is sooo good

[luciano9009]

I like this, it reminds me of some sort of medieval age song at 2:22.

[Tyriantube]

This has some similar lyrics to for you, and the begining of the end.

[LUNA8PERLE]

were did you download this?

[LeaValo27]

where can i get this song from?

[PhoenixofTrinity]

well, I have it, got it from Limewire.,.. if you want it, pm me your e-mail and I'll send it(no refunds though:P)

[StigMoe]

yough! best song ever !

[Patrock17]

i downloaded it

[terrybrass]

not one of favs, but great video.

[drbdabomb1]

pat has like every single HIM song lol

[bammagerask8]

were can i get hold of this is only the beginning i really want it and i have tryed everywhere

[roboticxcupcake]

It will be hard as hell, just go to a site that lets you download from youtube and collect the songs like I have.

[ditachi07]

damn, how'd you get ahold of this? its off of This Is Only The Beginning, hard to come by, only 100 were released

[indietrash]

what are you talking about ditachi? it's not released. it's a demo tape. only Valo has it (if even he has it).

mp3s can be downloaded pretty much via any p2p application.

[ditachi07]

sorry about that i was tired as shit when i wrote that and got it mixed up with another cd, but yeah i realized that when i woke up the next day

[xxrandomxxx]

indietrash... this is only the beginning was released.. it was the first demo they released... there's another demo called witches and other night fears and that is the demo that ville valo is rumored to have the only copy of

[indietrash]

it was released, yes. but only in minor quantities to close friends and such. Valo is the only one believed to still have it, I think. but feel free to correct me if I'm way off :)
