| Band biography |
The stage set, which contains two stone towers with gargoyles on top, a wide stone logo and a whole lot of horrific props, were also done by the band from the scratch.
Lordi also drew a 12-page Lordi comic book, which was given to consumers as a bonus gift when they purchased the first single "Would You Love A Monsterman?". The single went gold and reached #1 in the Finnish single charts.
Lordi entered the studio to record their debut album "Get Heavy" with producer T.T. Oksala in early 2002.
Musically Lordi is strongly inspired by 80's heavy metal melodies, with a twist of modern day programming. Simple, striking, ass-kicking heavy rock!
The album was finally mixed in London at SARM STUDIOS by Kevin Shirley, who?s previous work includes names like IRON MAIDEN, AEROSMITH and THE BLACK CROWES among others.
Being a strongly visual band, Lordi shot their first video, "Would You Love A Monsterman?", in a staged horror forest. It was designed by the professionals that were behind OZZY OSBOURNE's image.
The video was also co-scripted by Lordi, who drew the storyboards. The "Would You Love A Monsterman?" video gives a glimpse of what to expect from the up-coming Lordi stage shows: pyros, special effects and monsters.

Even though most people think that Lordi is a brand-new band that got lucky with a hit, the band actually recorded their first demo back in 1992.
In 1997 over half the current members were in the band. Before the first official album "Get Heavy" Lordi has recorded over hundred demo tracks.
In 2004 Lordi's second full-lenght "The Monsterican Dream" was released. There are two different versions of this album: A basic version, and a special edition including the horror short movie "The Kin" as a DVD. The DVD is for adults over 18 years only!
