How was Hitlantis born ?
The idea of Hitlantis came with discussion with my neighbor, Ville Valo who is a Finnish rock star from the band HIM.
The thing we discuss one morning was how hard its for new upcoming band to get a record deal or all togheter get forward. How could we help using Internet ?
This resulted in founding Hitlantis in 2008.
