Witches and Other Night Fears was the first record the band ever made. It was a demo tape made in 1992, and for a reason unknown, they decided to not release the demo. The only known copy resides with frontman Ville Valo.
The band was originally called His Infernal Majesty, but later changed their name after being associated with Satanic Rituals.
[666 Ways to Love: Prologue] was released in 1996 solely in Finland, and only 1,000 copies of this album were sold. This makes it very rare for HIM collectors and fans.
Recently an almost mint condition copy of the bands EP was listed on eBay for around $600.
The lady on the cover is said to be Valo's mother, who (according to an interview with Valo) worked in a shoe shop at the time.
It was produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa, and was recorded at Finnvox Studios, MD and Peacemakers, Helsinki.
