Lordi, our favorite Finnish monsters, are releasing a new live CD/DVD title “Recordead Live – Sextourcism In Z7” – Z7 is a rock club in Switzerland that the band claims is like a second home to them. For those of you who may not have heard Lordi yet, their sound is not what you’d think from just looking at them. Yeah, they look like a KISS-Alice Cooper-Gwar combination, mixing horror and rock n roll. But their sound is not as monster-ish as their appearance. Surprisingly their song is filled with melody and good catchy hooks. How this band plays in these costumes is impressive too!
Band leader Mr Lordi (pictured above) is the gruff voiced mastermind behind this band. A full fledged KISS Army member, Mr Lordi knows the importance of a big stage show. So as the CD gives you all the songs, the DVD provides you a full 2 hour stage show filled all the props and pyro that has made Lordi a really entertaining and fun band to see. From and indoor snow storm, extending bat wings and sawing a live almost nude female dancer in half, the DVD is a MUST have!!!!
The great thing about this live set is mixed in with newer songs, Lordi provides you the fans a nice look into the over all coolness of the band’s catalog – “Would You Love A Monster Man”, “Rock The Hell Outta You”, “Blood Red Sandman”, “Who’s Your Daddy” and of course “Hard Rock Hallelujah”, the song that launched Lordi to Worldwide status after their inclusion and winning the 2006 Euro Vision Song contest. The Monsters from Finland have been stomping across the Globe since then!
The DVD portion of the set also includes every promo video Lordi has made, including the very first video made by Mr Lordi when he was a member of a film academy. It eventually led to him designing his own costume —
“Among them a real rarity, the very first official music video for “Inferno“. It was made 1994 and Mr. Lord is final dissertation at the film academy. Besides production, location and the camera settings, Mr. Lordi was also responsible for writing, directing and editing the video and for costumes and the masks. „That was the historical moment that the masks and costumes became an essential part of the band“, he remembers. „Since it was my final dissertation, everyone was dressed up except me. When I saw the clip for the first time, I was like: ‚Fuck, everybody looks way cooler than I do – it was supposed to be the other way around.‘ That was the moment, I decided, to create the most elaborate costume for myself.“
So all in all KAF can’t recommend this release any higher, you need to experience not just Lordi’s music but also their stage show. How these ghouls perform in these costumes and deliver a tight and highly enjoyable performance!!!!
