About this listen

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.

    Apr 21 2025

    A detailed dissection of 'LIMITED DEADITION', LORDI's 19th studio album. MR. LORDI started out with references like neon lights and rubix cubes, but how did these starting points cultivate into an album bursting at the seams with 80s nostalgia, catchy choruses and kickass riffs. Tune in to hear the experiences of HIISI, KONE, MANA, HELLA, MR. LORDI and Ralph Ruiz.

    To mark the 20th anniversary of LORDI's second album The Monsterican Dream, we are going to revisit some of the topics and themes that we didn't get to cover when we looked at this album back during the first season of the this series. Featured in this episode are Mr. Lordi, Kita, Kalma, Amen and music producer Hiili Hiilesmaa who all provide some incredible insights and thoughts never covered or highlighted before. Huge thanks to Mana, Hiisi and Kone for providing some amazing isolated tracks of Wake the Snake and Kalmageddon, that are present in the episode.
