We’re extremely proud to bring you our full 45-minute ‘Loud Legacy’ documentary focusing on the life of HIM frontman Ville Valo. Hosted by Loudwire’s Graham ‘Gruhamed’ Hartmann, ‘Loud Legacy’ begins with the formation of HIM in 1991 and spans all the way into late 2014. HIM existed for six years before the band’s debut full-length, Greatest Love Songs: Vol. 666, was released. During that period, HIM struggled to find their own sound while going through a number of lineup changes. Ville famously worked at his father’s sex shop to pay the rent, while bassist Mikko ‘Mige’ Paananen left HIM for a short time to complete military service.

By the time "It's A Mean Old World" was filmed, Reverend Pearly Brown had been struggling to survive singing gospel music for nearly 40 years.

Composed entirely of still photographs shot by Marker himself over the course of his restless travel through twenty-six countries, If I Had Four Dromedaries stages a probing, at times agitated, search for the meanings of the photographic image, in the form of an extended voiceover conversation and debate between the "amateur photographer" credited with the images and two of his colleagues. Anticipating later writings by Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag (who professed her admiration for the film) If I Had Four Dromedaries reveals Marker's instinctual understanding of the secret rapport between still and moving image.
