on: Lordi
The band wears monster costumes - during promotional video shoots, they have had to wear their masks for up to 8 hours.
Mr. Lordi was born and grew up in Rovaniemi, north of Finland. However, he founded the band when he was studying in Tornio. The band was originally a side project of Mr. Lordi.
The band recorded an album in 1999 called "Bend Over and Pray the Lord" that was never released due to the record company going out of business.
Lordi means "lord" in English.
The song "Would You Love a Monsterman?" was a number one hit in Finland.
Lordi won the 2006 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens (Greece) with the song 'Hard Rock Hallelujah'.
After the Eurovision contest, a central square in Rovaniemi was renamed Lordi Square.
Shortly after winning the Eurovision Song Contest, Lordi held a concert at Market Square in Helsinki, where 90,000 Fins helped Lordi celebrate their victory by singing along on the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah".
This earned them the world record for largest sing-a-long.
Former bassist Kalma still plays live rhythm guitar at some Lordi shows.
"Dark Floors - The Lordi Motion Picture", a horror movie based on ideas of Mr. Lordi and featuring the Lordi band members in supporting roles, was released in 2008. It was directed by Pete Riski and despite being the most expensive film ever produced in Finland until then it was something of a box office flop (though its DVD sales reached gold status).
On July 31, 2014, the group announced that the title of their seventh studio album would be "Scare Force One". The album was recorded in June, and was released on October 31st in Europe, November 3 in North America, and November 26 in Japan with a bonus track. The first single from the album, "Nailed by the Hammer of Frankenstein", was released digitally on September 19.
On November 1 Lordi performed at The Circus in Helsinki to promote the release of the album. Three months long European tour "Tour Force One" started on February 1st 2015 and ended on the early April.
In early 2015, it was announced via Facebook that Hella was pregnant. The band's guitarist, Amen, later confirmed that Hella would be replaced for the summer festivals. In summer 2015, Hella's temporary replacement, Nalle, was seen for the first time at Rovaniemi.
