It was produced by John Fryer and recorded at Rockfield recording studios in Wales by John Fryer and Paul Read. All songs and lyrics on the album, with the exception of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game, are composed by Ville Valo.
The album made HIM huge in Europe when their single Join Me In Death was featured in the sci-fi movie The Thirteenth Floor. It reached #1 on German sales charts, going platinum, and is the biggest-selling single in Finnish music history.
Razorblade Romance was released shortly after in the U.S. under the moniker "HER". There was a jazz band in Chicago named HiM who did not want to give up the rights to their name, but eventually HIM bought the rights to use their name in the United States and now can release their albums under it. The American albums were released under Jimmy Franks Recording Company, run by Jimmy Pop, singer of the Pennsylvania band Bloodhound Gang. They released the HER 'Razorblade Romance' around the Boston area, and once HIM regained the rights to their name, they re-released 'Razorblade Romance' nationwide under Universal Records.
Multiple versions of this album exist, including the Finnish and German version with tracks one to eleven below. The aforehand mentioned British version with a new versions of "Your Sweet Six Six Six" entitled "Your Sweet 666", and a new version of "Wicked Game". A new version of "It's All Tears (Drown In this Love) was also recorded for the album, but it didn't make it to the final track list (it was later made available on the UK version of the compilation And Love Said No). In addition to this, the title of "I Love You (Prelude to Tragedy)" was truncated to "I Love You". There are two different U.S. versions with the British tracklisting, plus "Sigillum Diaboli" and "One Last Time" (one had a Parental Advisory label and one did not); another U.S. edition released under the name "HER" with "The 9th Circle" added; a special U.S. vinyl released in 2005 featuring the same track listing of the U.S. CD; and a few others.

HIM Lyrics
Bury me deep inside Let me wake up in your arms, you say it's…
Death is In Love With Us I know it hurts too much I know that you're scared I…
Gone With The Sin I love your skin oh so white I love your touch…
Heaven Tonight I hold your hand in mine I hold your hand and…
I Love You Gone are all the things I thought I knew And all…
Poison Girl I did it all just for her I did it all…
Razorblade Kiss I taste death in every kiss we share Every sundown seems…
Resurrection There was a time When I could breath my life in…
Résurrection There was a time, when I could breath my life…
Right Here in My Arms She's smiling like heaven is down on earth Sun is shining…
Wicked Game The world was on fire, no-one could save me but…
Your Sweet 666 There are things you should know The distance between us see…
