H.I.M.: Love, Metal And Jägermeister Chess

August 14, 2003

According to Chessbase.com, Finnish goth metallers H.I.M. got together with members of a local chess club "for an evening of chess (and drinks and stuff)" during their recent stay in Mannheim, Germany. Chaos Mannheim, founded in 1987, calls itself one of the "most serious chess clubs in Baden. They do appear to have a strong connection to beer, but also to heavy metal and to the aforementioned rock band." Check out pictures here.

H.I.M. will be supporting OZZY OSBOURNE on his upcoming European tour beginning on September 4 at the Wembley Arena in London, England.
