LORDI are a band like no other, a monster squad that plays catchy hard rock music inspired by the likes of KISS, Twisted Sister and Alice Cooper. But their story is even more unique than their look. From humble roots, to winning the Eurovision in 2006, to becoming an unstoppable heavy metal force, LORDI’s journey as a band is filled with mountainous highs and hellish lows.
Experience the band’s story through the first hand accounts of Mr. Lordi, and his troop of monsters both past and present, along with the guiding voice of host and True Metal Podcast founder Matthew Kessie.
This story isn’t just about music, it’s about dreams, sacrifices, determination and perseverance.
