HIM is widely recognisable by their heartagram logo. 
It consists of a heart and a pentagram, which symbolizes the contrast or perfect balance 
between life and death or love and hatred, or even love and death together. 
Valo has said that "the heartagram stands for HIM as a band, as an entity, 
and for 'love metal' in general,".

Many fans of the band have gotten tattoos of heartagrams 
or other emblems associated with the band 
(such as the single heart on Valo's right wrist). 
Some fan-submitted photos of such tattoos decorated the lyric booklet 
for the limited internet edition of 'Dark Light'.

HIM's widely-debated musical style is often referred to as "love metal" by Valo 
and by the group's fans, while critics commonly refer to them as 
gothic metal or gothic rock.
However, their musical style varies between albums, and songs. 
Ville Valo has stated that the band started as a 
"Black Sabbath tribute band of sorts", 
which further solidifies the band's heavy metal leanings.

To date, the band has released six full albums.
The band is expected to release a seventh, tentively titled 
"Screamworks: Love In Theory & Practice"
the first quarter of 2010.
