5.0 out of 5 stars
a new rebirth of HIM, September 13, 2005
This review is from: Wings of a Butterfly Pt 2 (Audio CD)
Wings of a Butterfly is just another step in evolution for the greatest goth-rock/love metal band, H-I-M. For the first time, H-I-M is debuting in America, and Wings of a Butterfly is their impact track. I must admit, when I first heard the song, I was a bit taken back because it is very different. It isn't as melancholic as their other songs and it isn't as dark as I had come to expect. Instead, 'Butterfly' is a very deep song with a nice opening guitar riff. Linde's opening makes for a hypnotic spin that just takes you round and round. Ville's vocals are as always spell-binding, taking you from reality into his gothic-melancholy world of blind romance. The sound of this song is very alternative/hard rock with a blend of the H-I-M love metal twist. This song is nothing like their previous efforts, but if I had to compare, I would say it had the rockability of "Razorblade Romance." Vampire Heart is a nice added bonus, and it's about time H-I-M wrote a 'vampire song.' This is just a sign for things to come for H-I-M. Keep your eyes out for the Dark Light is rising.
