5.0 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll Angels Bring Thyne Hard Rock Hallelujah!, January 13, 2007

Lordi, the finnish monster rockers are the new Kiss, but more extreme. Playing melodic hard rock and heavy metal, they receantly took the world over by surprise by winning the 2006 Eurovision Pop Song Contest. Their newest CD: The Arockalypse, is Lordi at its finest, and is a true gem of metal. It kick starts with a news bulletin about invading monsters, then slams it's way into Bring Back The Balls To Rock with true power! The catchy Deadbite Girls Gone Wild is next, followed by the twisted Kids Who Wanna Play With The Dead. It Snows In Hell is a powerful Lordi ballad about murder and revenge beyond the grave with guest star Bruce Kulick (former Kiss guitarist), easily one of the best tracks on the album. "Witness my rebirth from the devil's churn!!" as sung by Mr. Lordi will stay in your mind for a long ime. Who's Your Daddy pounds it's way in, making way for the prize song winning Eurovision of rock and roll angels and demons:Hard Rock Hallelujah. Udo Dirkschneider joins with Mr. Lordi in a nightmarish duet singing in They Only Come Out At Night. The Chainsaw Buffet is a song Leatherface would play at his date. Good To Be Bad is a fan song for all the naughty Lordi girls, while Night of The Loving Dead is romance of the zombies. Supermonsters closes off the album with a powerful accord and chant. This is definately Lordi's best album! It's been a long time since any band has delivered such wonderful music all in monstermaniac style and fashion! If you love Kiss, horror movies, and classic heavy metal, buy this album. It's a must have!

Good Songs: Kids Who Wanna Play With The Dead, It Snows In Hell, Who's Your Daddy, Hard Rock Hallelujah, They Only Come Out At Night, The Chainsaw Buffet, Supermonstars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, May 24, 2006

Look... I never heard of Lordi before the Eurovision Contest 2006. I thought they would obtain just a few votes, as the show is usually full of awful pop songs and miserable singers. But then, they made History. Not only they won, but they won with style. Their show was brilliant, the outfits, the music, the attitude and the pyro. And in the press-conference, Lordi was clever, his speech was interesting. Talking about a victory for Rock fans (he added 'Kiss fans' !) but more for open-mindness. No, Lordi will NOT change the face of Rock Music. Though the songs are perfectly crafted and full of strong melodies, the most important lies in the way they changed forever the attitude of millions of people (100 millions usually watch the Euro show) who never heard such music before. Kids all over Europe now will want to buy the Lordi Action Figures, CD's and maybe learn guitar or drums. Older will realise that Rock can be fun, that in show-buisness there's also the show. Like Elvis in his 1955 Ed Sullivan show, with his legendary 'Pelvis' dance that changed pop culture forever in a deep way, Saturday May 20th 2006, Lordi made a useful contribution for a more open, free and liberal world. I'm not kidding. Cultural History is made by these tiny changes. But for now, just buy the record, you won't regret it, it's nice, and these guys are not rich, your money will be appreciated ! Plus, enjoy the fact that we have such music to listen to, and not only the pre-formatted World Top 40.
Thank you guys...

5.0 out of 5 stars METAL!, May 21, 2006

This is the kind of metal I love. Huge, overblown, and loud as hell. "Hard Rock Halleluja," rightfully the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, is the kind of song I can play at loud volumes to alarm my parents. The rest of the album does not disappoint in that vein. Like Mr. Lordi said, this is entertainment! And entertain it does. If you like your metal loud, brutal, but not ultra-serious, you need to check out Lordi. Let's hope for a domestic release!
