Hallo kiribati!
Die Suche nach „Borellus“ gestaltet sich anscheinend auch für andere Leute schwierig. Der Song ist nur auf einer Demo-CD erschienen, als HIM noch „His Infernal Majesty“ hieß und noch keinen Plattenvertrag hatte. Anscheinend gab es mehrere Versionen von EPs im Vorfeld (bis '95), jemand hat Material davon später mal zusammengestellt und veröffentlicht, aber nicht wirklich legal. Daher werden die EPs auch manchmal als Fake beschrieben. Auf jeden Fall dürfte nur sehr wenig davon existieren & wenn dann eher in Finnland.
Anbei ein Forums-Ausschnitt, den ich gefunden habe, vielleicht kannst du damit weiter recherchieren. Viel Erfolg!

Okay here’s the thing I want to know who has „This is only the begginning“, which is the second thing HIM ever released (so I believe again) it is a six track two disc demo and the track listings are:
Disc 1
- „Serpent Ride“ - 4:29
- „Borellus“ - 4:18
- „The Heartless“ - 5:33
Disc 2
- „Stigmata Diaboli“ - 2:49
- „Wicked Game“ - 4:06 (Chris Isaak cover)
- „The Phantom Gate“ - 4:46
There are only 100 in existance and they were only shiped to certain music stores in Helsinki.
If you have one of these please tell me and if you could I would really really really REALLY appriciate a picture of it because I have never seen the cover to it or the picture of the discs so please give me the link to a picture or just post a picture of it I DONT CARE I JUST WANT TO SEE!!!
Okaaaay NOW I want to know who has the the 666 ways to love: Prologue.
Thank you!
I have „666 Ways To Love“ EP and the above 6 tracks you’re talking about. I got the 6 tracks from HIMUS.com and the people who run it sent me the tracks last week because I’m in the process of translating Synnin Viemaa (the book that came out in 2002). In the book, Ville talks about a demo they recorded in 1993 and 1995 called „Witches and Other Night Fears.“ As I researched this demo, I the first 3 tracks (Serpent Ride, The Heartless and Borellus) were recorded on a 4-track with Ville doing vocals and drums and Linde on guitar and bass. This was recorded while Mige was in the Army. When Mige returned from the Army in 1995, a second part of the demo was recorded: Stigmata Diaboli, Wicked Game and The Phantom Gate.
A third demo, „This Is Only The Beginning,“ that was done in 1995 was a release of the the two previous demos together. A 7th track was recorded, „Too Happy To Be Alive“ and surfaced in 2004, but this track was not part of the above noted demos. I haven’t seen the covers for these, I only have direct transfers of the above 6 tracks.
