Love Metal is the fourth studio album by Finnish band, HIM, released on 14 April 2003. The digipak edition of this album also includes the bonus track "Love's Requiem". This is the band's breakthrough album, and their first not to feature lead singer Ville Valo on the cover. Instead, it features the heartagram, the band's logo. It has sold more than 1,000,000 copies worldwide.
Valo had grown tired of reporters constantly asking what he considered HIM's genre was. HIM titled this album Love Metal in response to that question.
On 1 February 2005 the regular edition of this album was released in the United States under Universal Records licensed by Jimmy Franks Recording Company.
The track "Love's Requiem" was intended for release on the standard version of the album, but it made the album's duration longer than one hour, so Valo decided to put it on the Digipak version of the album.
