    On a potential reunion, H.I.M.<\/a><\/strong> frontman Ville Valo<\/a><\/strong> said to Loaded Radio<\/em> in 2023 that it’s always a possibility. <\/p>\n

    “It’d be lovely to play with some of the lads, especially\u00a0Mig\u00e9<\/strong>, the bass player,” Valo<\/a><\/strong><\/strong> said. “He’s one of the guys who also was here at my home studio, when\u00a0Neon Noir\u00a0<\/em>was born, every couple of months he came over to listen to where I was at with the album. He was my\u00a0Rick Rubin<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 this guru who didn’t say much but whose opinions anyway matter the most. He’s a lovely chap and a really, really good friend.<\/p>\n

    “I never say never \u2014 definitely. If there’s good reason and if there’s good timing, it’d be great. They’re great musicians and they’re great guys \u2014 we shared a lot of good things, both on a personal level and a musical level \u2014 but at this moment in time, none whatsoever. I’m not interested at all. ‘Cause it doesn’t make any sense.”<\/p>\n

    He continued: “It’s only been a few years since we disbanded. It’s getting close to six years now. So it hasn’t been long. And I think there’s also the danger of rehashing something and messing it up royally. We ended on a high note, so that’s quite nice. At the end of the day, we did end the band for a good reason.<\/p>\n

    “It was quite painful being with the band that you love to death and at the same time realize that things are not working out, and no matter what you do, the love is not there anymore. So I’d be very wary of trying to reanimate that because it might end up being that sort of\u00a0Frankenstein<\/em>\u00a0monster that nobody wants to really meet.”\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
