Lordi is a Finnish hard rock and melodic heavy metal band, originally formed in 1992 by the band's lead singer, songwriter,
visual art designer and costume maker, Mr Lordi.
Lordi took part in the Eurovision song contest and won the whole competition as the first and only winner from Finland, with
all-time record breaking points at the time in Eurovision history.
The third album The Arockalypse was released within the same time frame, with the band´s own idols Udo Dirkschneider
(Accept, U.D.O.), Bruce Kulick (ex-KISS), Dee Snider and Jay Jay French (Twisted Sister) appearing as guest stars.
The success of the victorious single "Hard Rock Hallelujah" launched Lordi to new heights of media exposure, fan recognition
and success, that opened new doors for the band. Mr. Lordi´s hometown Rovaniemi named a market place area in the city
center the “Lordi Square”. The Lordi brand was hot in the area of merchandising as well, with items such as Lordi postage
stamps, Lordi candies and Lordi Cola coming out in the market.
The band has been touring actively since 2002 and it´s known for the monstrous look and the horror elements in the stage
performance and music videos. With catchy songs and screaming riffs, the horrific lyrics will stick in your mind whether you
like it or not.
Entering a new era, Lordi is releasing their 9th studio album ”Sexorcism”, which is said to be their most controversial album to
date, on May 25th 2018 - being an uncensored shot with a full on in-your-face attitude that is Lordi’s brand.
"Sexorcism" was recorded and mixed at the legendary Finnvox studios by Mikko Karmila, who is no stranger to the band
being the producer of the band's 2014 release ”Scare Force One”
