HIM initially wanted to release "Razorblade Romance" in the fall of 1999 in Finland, in order to start a supporting tour, but BMG Germany refused, fearing the album would be bought there through importing. Thus it was decided that "Razorblade Romance" would be released simultaneously in Finland and internationally. "Join Me in Death" was released as the first single from the album in November 1999, and charted in seven countries, reaching number one in Finland and Germany. "Join Me in Death" would eventually be certified platinum in Finland, and gold in Germany and Austria. BMG had been reluctant to release the song as a single, but eventually complied, after the song was chosen to appear on the soundtrack of the 1999 science fiction film "The Thirteenth Floor". The version included in the film and released as a single was an early mix, not included on the finished album. Two music videos were produced for the song; the first featured the single mix as well as scenes from "The Thirteenth Floor", while the second was shot in England and directed by Billy Yukich. HIM was later invited to perform on Germany's "Top of the Pops" to promote the song. "Razorblade Romance" was released on 24 January 2000 and charted in six countries, peaking at number one in Finland, Germany and Austria. The album would eventually go double platinum in Finland, triple gold in Germany, and gold in Austria. "Razorblade Romance" also charted at number eight on the US Heatseekers Chart in January 2004, making it the band's first album to chart in the United States.
