Her haunting, contorted despair was etched into the wood's grain
Though fire rages within me, no fire burns fiercer than her desire

Ville Valo - religions and beliefs - atheism, christianity, satanism
Why would anybody care about some rockstar’s religion? Therefore there’s Ville Valo. Used so many symbols and did so many references to it. That’s why I think it’s a topic to talk about- it might get interesting.
Tumblr media
He wasn’t growing in a religious family, in a religious country, so to these days it’s not the topic of his life.
,,Even at school I studied ethics instead of religion.”
,,I wasn't baptized when I was born. My parents thought that if I wanted to believe, started believing, or wanted to be a part of a church, religion, or movement, I could make that choice for myself. “
Satanist stuff
But just at the beginning of HIM he used so many symbols, devil’s symbols such as 666 and the name of the band.
Ville has been always assuring us, that these are only symbols that he used more for fun and reference and because of his big fan of Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath.
,,Our song ‘Your Sweet 666’ is more of a tribute to Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden’s ‘The Number of The Beast’ than to something actually evil.”
,,I’m immensely proud of the Heartagram. People having tattoos of it... it’s amazing. It’s not a symbol - it’s a movement. I love religious symbolism..”
Also name of the band (his infernal majesty) wasn’t taken directly from Antony Lavey books but from one of his favorite song back then- as he said in interview from nowadays, telling he is not sure still about origin of the name.
Clearly he’s not, more than 8 years ago he said:
The name Him came from Helsinki ice-hockey maniacs and it was our protest to Haile Selassie's rastafarian religion, he used to be called His Imperial Majesty..but nowadays because of Linde's hair, we actually might be supporting him.
After all it seems that name of the band has nothing with devil worship or something like that- it was more like playing fun with it- back then in 90s Sweden, Finland and Norwegia were the most black metal satanic bands in the world. It’s pretty obvious it got some influence at that time on Ville, that’s why he used some symbol with with but never seriously and as he said: all this stuff what satanist made was stupid for him[about burning churches].
“But I’ve always been laughing that, maybe it makes all the sense in the world for Fins to create metal – the headbanging keeps us warm. You know, it gets terribly cold in the winter. So it makes all the sense in the world that that would be the reason. That’s also probably why the Norwegians burned the churches. It’s nothing to do with Satanism, but they were cold.”
Ville could not be a satanist: he’s song is never about devil and he hates posture of satanist,here a simple example:
,,I hate Nazis”
(Which is typical for devil’s followers)
Topic about Ville being satanist we can close up by his own words:
,,Record companies are devil worshippers - not us.”
and,
,,I don’t believe in Satan or Satanism or the Christian dogma or Islamic or whatever.”
So he is an atheist?-not exactly.
Atheist?Christian?
He never said that he don’t believe in God, such as he said he that he don’t believe in satan.
Ville don’t believe in Christian dogma, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t believe in God. It’s also seems that he is more anti-religious traditions more than a whole point of it.
"I am not anti-religion, I am anti-assholes and, unfortunately, in the religious realm, there are a lot of assholes."
There are many proves in press that he got quite big experience with Christianity.
from 2010:
“I read the Bible every day,” he says, grinning impishly as he switches the light on in his bathroom to reveal he’s wallpapered it with pages ripped from a King James edition.
Some days,” he says, giggling, “I read it twice.”
from 2010, also about wallpaper in toilet:
"But you've never read [the bible]?"
"I read it every time I take a shit"
Well, is it profanation, approach to the Christian religion some kind of joke? Probably the same as with Satanism, Christianity is not important to him- he do some fun with it only. Also, I think that this ,,wallpaper” kind of think was
more like a ,,drunk Ville” idea who don’t give a shit, now, I’m pretty sure, he wouldn’t do that. But about today’s Ville will be later.
But on the other side:
,,My maxim to the young people is: "Don't kill"”
Just like from Bible, maybe he really read it and liked some of it. Clearly not everything, that’s why he does not represent as a Christian.
,,I believe in God for the sake of orphan kids”
I wonder, rather it was sarcasm or more like his another thing he actually agree in religions.
,,My idea of heaven is a bit unusual...”
Does that prove Ville believes in an afterlife( from the Christian religion)?It seems like that for sure.
Oh, here’s another about Heaven:
,,But we all like sleeping, chess, the Adam's Family, we prefer night to day, Halloween to Christmas, weddings to funerals, X-Files to Friends, Abba to the Cure and Heaven to Hell because we all want to go there”
It's very hard for me to deduce in what realities Ville lives because he believes in Christian heaven and hell, but he doesn't bring himself to the most important holiday for Christians-ok, I said it too bluntly and to be honest after this statement you can expect not 100% sincerity.
Another thing that can’t be unsaid: Jesus and Ville. Ville quite often talk about him, really.
,,I’ve crossed oceans of wine” is probably one of not many(or only one) song by HIM which there’s something about Christianity.
,, We're so Christlike”~ I’ve crossed oceans of wine
In my interpretation, he used the motif of Jesus here as a sacrifice up to death. This motif fits very well with his concept of music - death and love. Maybe that’s why he used to wear Jesus on t-shirts and belts, crusader? Probably yes, it’s not like he believes in it, he just like more his story.
"Ozzy is after all an icon to me in the same way as Jesus, Motörhead’s Lemmy”
Here’s perfect proof, 666 and Jesus just an icon, symbol for his art.

What today’s Ville Valo on all of this religious stuff?The Answer
,,I believe in friendship, life, love, music, food, but I don't have any religion that I follow.”
,,[..]still didn't find what I'm looking for.”
For me it seems he is more like a person who believes in what he sees, sometimes he believes in Heaven, sometimes not, sometimes in God, sometimes not- for sure never in Satan since he has always used to be an opposite of it. What I could say as a…Christian- Ville mixes up in himself everything what he think is right- sometimes from Bible, sometimes,more often, from live experiences.
,, I think life is all about good manners. You should open up doors for ladies and you should say ‘thank you.’ You should not swear and you should not spit. That’s what my parents told me and that’s what I’m trying to do. It’s brought me this far.”
Ville just does what he thinks is moral and good, you can see it from the man he is now - it's probably the type of person who thinks that this is the most important thing in life and the settlement after death, if it exists at all, will decide.
Ville never grew up in family, with any beliefs like most Finns, so it's no wonder he doesn’t attach much importance to it like the rest of Europe, and treat it more as a culture.
