Vitamin Records describes the album and band:

"H.I.M.'s cult-like following has only just begun to grow. Right from the start, Ville and the boys had a sound quite unlike their metal brethren in Finland. The combination of the romantic and the hard-edged, epitomized by their "Love Metal" aesthetic and iconic "heartagram" logo, won them fans throughout Europe, as well as fans abroad. Skating legend and "Jackass" Bam Margera adopted the band's logo and got the hype machine rolling. His devotion, along with his non-stop media exposure, introduced H.I.M. to a whole new audience. Since then, they've become one of the most beloved and recognizable bands amongst an entire generation of music fans.

Vitamin Records' "The String Quartet Tribute to H.I.M." is a haunting and beautiful recreation of this iconic band's unique sound. Their pulsating riffs and lush melodies are the perfect template for these unbelievable pieces. This album is an essential for any H.I.M. fan's collection."
