Ville Valo

While recording 'Venus Doom' Producer Tim Palmer said: 'A Neumann U67. It has a really warm, full sound, and, if you crank the preamp, the mic distorts beautifully when the vocalist screams'

Used for live lead vocals before switching to a Sennheiser E965.

Sennheiser’s Pierre Morant, relations manager EMEA, took on the mic challenge to find a perfect solution. “He and his team suggested the Sennheiser e 965, which has a sound that is very similar to the KMS 105,” said Hara. “And it turned out to be more suitable due to the very high SPLs we have on stage".

Ville has been seen using Gibson Acoustic live and in videos, namely a tabacco burst SJ-200

Seen using Resonators live in support of 'Rambo Rimbaud' and HIM.

Ville used his drum kit during Daniel Lioneye performance (Linde Lindström's solo project) in Helldone Festival 2014-Finland
