Ah HIM, you and your bizarre use of the English language. Sure, it comes across as "deep" but it's actual quite nonsensical. "Passion's Killing Floor"? Are you kidding me? That doesn't even qualify as a metaphor.
Nonetheless, though the lyrics may be wanting, the music is absolutely beautiful. HIM's "love metal" really does stand apart as a genre of its own, and this song even managed to win over my cynical death-metal loving heart. While HIM's particular brand of hormone-dripping laconic melancholy can sometimes cloy, "Passion's Killing Floor" is just heavy enough to keep one from switching to mute. The video below is a fan's mashup of prior HIM videos as an official music video is yet to come. However, if their musical improvement is any indication of the band's general direction, I'm sure the coming audiovisual experience will be completely jaw-dropping.
