Lordi

Theatrical Finnish horror-show metallists who pulled off the unthinkable and brought home the top prize at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest, Lordi's operatic sound and monster-movie stage persona have helped make them one of the more outlandish and compelling groups in contemporary heavy metal. Emerging in 2002 with Get Heavy, Lordi would go on to amass a huge regional following with chart-topping albums like The Arockalypse (2006) and Monstereophonic (Theaterror vs. Demonarchy) (2016), and Limited Deadition (2025).
