Founded in 1992 by singer, songwriter and designer Mr. Lordi, LORDI are one of the major Finnish rock / heavy metal acts of our time. Originally rooted in Rovaniemi (Northern Lapland), the band achieved their international breakthrough after winning the Eurovision Song Contest with their hit song 'Hard Rock Hallelujah' in 2006.
Since then, the unconventional troop has rocked their way into the spotlight of Europe with charm, unforgettable tunes and elaborate monster costumes, and have become an integral part of the line-ups of globally recognized festivals such as Wacken Open Air (DE) and Masters of Rock (CZ) among others.
It’s eventually Mr. Lordi who designs and produces LORDI’s complete wardrobe by hand, and it takes him no less than 3 hours every evening to turn himself into the legendary monster man that once again plays the leading role in this new blockbuster - ahem, album! - coming this spring.
