Editorial Reviews

Review

Fist pumping metal with over-the-top theatrics abound throughout. --All Music Guide

Not since the days of 'Kiss Meets the Phantom' has heavy metal anthems and theatrics gone hand in hand so splendidly... --Billboard Magazine

The band s use of flaming-dragon-encrusted swords and exploding baby dolls expresses the warrior spirit of the Vikings. --New York Times

Product Description

Currently, LORDI are preparing to unleash their latest album, Deadache, upon the masses come Halloween-time. Deadache is the band s followup to 2006 s internationally successful The Arockalypse, which has sold more than 350,000 copies worldwide, achieving triple platinum status in their native Finland and gold in Germany and Sweden. The band is taking a new direction with Deadache-- more horror-themed than before, if that s even possible! The Nino Laurenne-produced album, much like its predecessors, is catchy, melodic hard rock, but this time around there is a distinctly rougher edge to the music.

As is customary for the band, the look of each character has been completely redesigned for the new album; the new costumes will be revealed when LORDI headlines Popkomm in Berlin this October.

4.0 out of 5 stars Experimental Album, October 29, 2008

I've been listening to Lordi for a while and although this album isn't bad...in fact far from it. It's just very clear listening to it that Lori was going through an experimental stage when making this album. From the sounds of it the music seems to remain intact for the most part, the only change being an attempt to expand their skills muscially.

The album is hit and miss really. Half of the album is pure gold, ranking right up there with the best of there songs. Sadly the other half falls short and unfortunately must be filed into the "music by numbers" category. However, again, this shows they are trying to find what works and what doesn't.

If you're curious about the band I would sugguest picking up GET HEAVY first. Not only is it their debut album, but it still ranks as the prime example of what is LORDI, and that is monster rock and horror themed love ballads.

5.0 out of 5 stars LORDI continues to amaze, November 11, 2008

I had the pleasure of first experiencing LORDI at the 2007 Ozzfest tour. As one of the four main stage acts, I was really curious as to what the band was all about and what warranted a main stage nod with the likes of the great Ozzy Osborne. When LORDI hit the stage a gigantic grin immediately crept across my face. A wonderful medley of pyrotechnics, costume, showmanship, and pure classic Metal fury enveloped the audience. From the get go, I knew these guys (and gal) could rock!

Needless to say, after that show I became an instant LORDI fan. Many compare the band to the likes of GWAR, which is a very narrow observation. Sure, LORDI wears gorrific costumes, but the foundation and overall look of the band is a much more unified complexity as opposed to pure shock value. Furthermore, LORDI's musicianship surpasses the likes of GWAR. I like GWAR; I love LORDI. A more fair comparison would be the likes of Alice Cooper, Motorhead, and Twisted Sister.

Deadache, the band's fourth studio album, brings a bit more edge to their musical ascension. Songs such as "Bite It Like A Bulldog" and "Man Skin Boots" jump out as immediate favorites indicative of their earlier hits. But after listening to the album a few more times, the journey becomes even more enjoyable. "Girls Go Chopping" and "Dr. Sin Is In" contain some hilarious lyrics (even a Miss Piggy reference), while the title track "Deadache" and "Missing Miss Charlene" continue to resonate in my head on a daily basis.

If you're a fan of bands/performers like KISS, Alice Cooper, Motorhead, and/or Twisted Sister, definitely check out LORDI. I would also recommend purchasing their debut album, Get Heavy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loneliness....It makes nights endless..., October 31, 2008

When I first discovered Lordi with their debut song, Blood Red Sandman. I kinda knew that they will stand out among others with their unique sound and well....appearance. Then the Eurovision success came. Frankly speaking The Arokalypse wasn't their best album. But Deadache is. You will discover why Lordi is so good once again. Too bad they've left out one their best work -Hate At First Sight- from Deadache regular release, it's available in the digipak copy which I'm not sure will be released in North America. The smart song names are my favorite in this album, like "Girls Go Chopping, Raise Hell In Heaven, Deadache and Hate At First Sight" And I can't point a single song that I can rate as below awesome.

I really hope that Lordi will be around for the longest time possible.
