HIM released Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights in August 2001. This was the band's first album with new keyboardist Burton Emmerson, the final addition to the current line-up.
Once again the album shot to #1 in their Finnish homeland, making them the most dominant homegrown band in their country since Hanoi Rocks in the 1980s. It also reached #2 in Germany.
Three singles were released from it: "Pretending" (which reached #10 in Germany), "In Joy and Sorrow" and a double single featuring both "Heartache Every Moment" and "Close to the Flame." Such success further facilitated their gradual emergence into the mainstream.
As the previous album, even Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights had problems with titling it. It was meant to be called "Ozzymandias Dargunum" and it would contain 14 tracks.
The demos were recorded in 2000 in Hollola. In November 2001 the number of total sales was nearly 400000.
