GetYourRockOut conducted an interview with Mr. Lordi of Finnish heavy metal monsters LORDI on May 8 in Manchester, England. You can now watch the chat below.
LORDI‘s new album, “To Beast Or Not To Beast”, was released on March 1 in Europe (excluding Finland) via AFM Records. The CD was made available in North America on March 19 through The End Records.
“To Beast Or Not To Beast” has registered the following first-week chart positions:
Finland: #8
Germany: #56
Switzerland: # 95
“To Beast Or Not To Beast” was recorded last fall at WireWorld Studio in Nashville, Tennessee with renowned producer Michael Wagener (METALLICA, OZZY OSBOURNE, SKID ROW, DOKKEN, RAVEN, MEGADETH). The CD marks the recording debut of LORDI‘s new members, keyboardist Hella (replacing Awa) and drummer Mana (replacing Otus).
“The road to this album has truly been paved by hardships,” LORDI leader Mr. Lordi says. “However, the new lineup of the band has given us new and fresh touch and an energetic edge to the recording process, and to the album itself.”
He added: “The album cover painting is actually a part of a larger picture. The original artwork had this vintage-styled lady holding a horned skull, which, however, was not the main point of the art piece. There was something not quite right with the setting, so I made experiments with various versions and framings. Album title was ‘Upgradead’ at that point in time, and the painting was done with that title in mind. But now, with a changed concept of the artwork, the title did not seem to fit anymore. We did not consider it an A-class name either. Our guitarist Amen came up with the final title, which we felt suitable and perfect both for the cover artwork and the album.”

Last Saturday, only one day after the release of their new album, “To Beast Or Not To Beast”, Finnish monster rockers LORDI not only presented their new single, “The Riff”, on German TV; “Team Lordi” also competed in Pro 7‘s “wok racing championships!”
And as cool as the team retained its composure in the ice trail, their performance of “The Riff” was melting snow and ice with lots of flames and pyros.
You can watch video footage of LORDI‘s “The Riff” performance at this location.
