Masters of Rock - Series six - Episode 5

Bruce Dickinson concludes his exploration of the world of hard rock and heavy metal, playing classic tracks, exciting new releases and long lost obscurities. 6/6. HIM Bruce is joined by Finland's most successful rock group, HIM. Formed in 1995, the group is the the first Finnish band to sell a Gold certified album in America and they surpassed their cult status when their fifth album Dark Light charted in the Top 20 on both sides of the Atlantic. Inspired by a range of diverse musical styles, from Neil Diamond to Chris Isaac, the Foo Fighters and Metallica, HIM are recognised as having an alternative rock sound, with their vocals as a complete contrast, featuring bittersweet tales of love and death sung seductively by enigmatic lead vocalist Ville Valo.
