I've seen them called Alternative Rock more than Alternative Metal

HIM's genre remains a matter of dispute, though they are often classed as an alternative metal band. Irritated with such pigeonholing, lead singer Ville Valo frequently stated that they were essentially a 'love metal' band; a sound that can be best described as 'Music/DepecheMode meets Music/BlackSabbath'. He also used other such musical fusions to describe various parts of the band's repertoire, mainly with reference to 70s & 80s music. Notably, the band's Heartagram logo is equally well-known.

* GenreBusting: HIM's genre is very much a matter of dispute. Safe to say, it's an eclectic, if acquired, taste. The only things you can really count on are the over-the-top love metaphors; beyond that, their style is generally somewhat dark, but "rock" is the only label you can reasonably apply to their entire body of work. "Alternative rock" might work too.
