HIM Silver Heartagram Heavy Duty Belt Buckle

Around the time of the Love Metal album, the group became more well-known in the US and internationally when professional skateboarder and TV personality Bam Margera began using the band's heartagram logo and promoting them extensively on his MTV series Viva La Bam.

Margera produced their video for "Buried Alive By Love", which featured a guest appearance from Natural Born Killers actress Juliette Lewis.

They played at Download Festival in 2003 on the second stage with The Hellacopters; the following year they would go on to headline the same stage.

Love Metal has been performed in its entirety in march 8th 2003 in Grosse Freiheit Club, in Hamburg just a month before album's release in april 14th.

The only track that was not performed was love's requiem because it wasn't included in the original versions of the album, but only into digipak versions.

The tickets were available for sale in the band's official website and they were sold out within a few days.

It was Ville who had the initial idea for making this gift to their fans. The show has been included into unofficial releases, video and audio bootlegs under the name 'Buried alive' or 'Love metal live'.
