They're both Finnish too.
I beg to disagree considering the style of their music, is from a similar period of music like the Romantic era back in classical. HIM bearing I listen to them more often and dissect their sound, isn't Romantic Metal nor Metal in my opinion. More of an Aggressive Hard Alternative.
The reason why I label them as Romantic is the core sound of the typical "Metal Band" has been metamorphosed into it by the inclusion of a rare instrument. Multiple cellos with the progressive inventive way they incorporate old with the new has a poetic and very emotive sound to it. Their music has a melodic feel with its multiple harmonies trapped in the essence of a quiet rhythmical scheme is one of the reasons why I do think they are.
As for they are Finnish that's cool.
