ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE BAND

Dear LORDI fans,

This is a very sad day in the history of the band. Our long term bandmember and close friend OX has decided to leave the band after the summer festivals 2019. OX, all the best for your future and thanks for the fantastic time we had all together

Please find below some personal words from OX explaining the situation:

"It has come the day that I have to tell you that I will be leaving Lordi. There is no drama, no major issues or anything like that. I just feel very strong urge to do something else in music and to be available for other musical journeys, what ever those will be. I will do the summer festivals with Lordi and after that it's time for the new guy to take it from there. I wanna thank the band and especially the best fans on this planet, for these 13 years and the greatest ride of my life. I love you all from the pound of my heart and I hope to see you again somewhere sometime

Creepy-crawly atmosphere in summer: On 26th July, the Finnish monster LORDI release their brand-new DVD „Recordead Live – Sextourcism In Z7“ via AFM Records/Soulfood Music.

Though there are some live records of LORDI, „Recordead Live – Sextourcism in Z7“ is the first official Live DVD of the band, checked by the musicians. A plan that LORDI had been pursuing for years and finally were put into practice during the „Sexorcism“ tour. Mr. Lordi about: „I am very happy that we waited until the „Sexorcism“ tour, because we look amazing, the stage looks amazing and everything was perfect to create a stunning DVD.“

Besides the live cut of the show in Pratteln/Switzerland during their latest „Sexorcism“ tour, the DVD provides a lot of bonus material, including some real rarities.

The DVD can now be pre-ordered in various formats on the following link:

NTRODUCING ”KILLECTION” - NEW LORDI ALBUM 2020 and
ANNOUNCING ”KILLECTOUR” 2020!

You’ve waited long enough - and finally we can reveal the album name of our upcoming album as well as presenting to you the European tour in support of the album!

No doubt, “Killection" the tenth album in the band’s history, has turned out to be the most extraordinary and most varied album so far.

Officially the Rock/Heavy Metal monsters LORDI were founded in 1992 by lead singer, songwriter, visual art designer and costume designer Mr. Lordi. The band has deep Finnish roots, originating from the city of Rovaniemi, in Lapland. In 2006 they celebrated their international breakthrough by winning the Eurovision Song Contest (“Hard Rock Hallelujah”).

But is it possible that this is only a pale misperception of our poor, small, pathetic reality?

What if LORDI would have already been making music since the early 70's? And what if they have been releasing one hit single after the other since those times and now, almost 50 years later, are looking back on a full collection of songs that have been successful ever since?

This is exactly the idea that LORDI are executing, with their newest studio album “Killection.” Killection will be released on January 31st via AFM Records. Once more Mr. Lordi, the master of the masquerade, presents us with one of his ideas, absurd and genius at the same time, and comes up with a concept that has never been done before in the music industry: "Killection" is a compilation album that simply says “what if” LORDI had been in existence since the early 70's. It contains all their imaginary hit singles from different periods done with painstaking attention to detail using authentic studios and vintage technology. This is how they would have sounded if LORDI would have made music back then and therefore would have had the hit material to release this compilation now.

This is how Mr. Lordi himself sums it up:

"Killection" is a fictional compilation album. It contains songs that LORDI would have written between the early 70's through the mid-90's. The compilation contains one "brand new" song from 2019 as well, cause that’s somehow always typical for compilations."
