LORDI will start the "Lordiversitour 2022" this autumn! In addition to PRAGUE, they will also visit PILSEN and ZLÍN!
The "Killectour" tour of the famous Finnish monsters LORDI has been rescheduled and postponed for so many times, that it is no longer relevant. It took a long time, but the whole "Killectour" will eventually switch to "Lordiversitour 2022" this year, and all previously purchased tickets for the original "Killectour" dates simply apply to this year's tour!
And we can finally be happy to announce not only a new date for the long-sold-out LORDI concert in PRAGUE, Roxy Club, but also two completely new dates that LORDI has planned for Czech fans! "Lordiversitour 2022" will therefore stop in the Czech Republic 3 times!
17.10.2022 PLZEŇ, KD Šeříkovka
19.10.2022 ZLÍN, Masters of Rock Café
20.10.2022 PRAGUE, Roxy Club - SOLD OUT!
This Finnish group of monstrous figures has always been the embodiment of bizarre ideas, but what fell out of them at the end of last year is something never seen before in music history. Seven albums in one rich release called "Lordiversity"!
The rock/heavy metal band, LORDI, was officially founded in 1992 by singer, songwriter and designer, Mr. Lordi. The band is deeply rooted in Finland and originally comes from Rovaniemi in Northern Lapland. In 2006, the band achieved their international breakthrough with their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest ("Hard Rock Hallelujah"). But what if this had only been our own little wretched reality so far and in actuality, things are quite different? What if LORDI have actually been active since the early 70s and unleashing one hit after another onto humanity since then? This is the idea behind "Killection", the last studio album. It's a compilation album that imagines that LORDI has existed since the early 70's. It delivers all the hit singles from the different decades and as they would have sounded if LORDI had made music at that time. The accompanying back catalogue will finally appear in the form of "Lordiversity" – two years after its Best Of and simply from beyond time and space.
Mr. Lordi explains: “In the week of March 2020, after our tour had to be cancelled due to Corona, I thought that I must use the extra time that was available to me. It quickly became clear that the time was perfect to start planning another album, even though “Killection” wasn't even three months old at the time. But then I realised that there couldn't be anything more boring than making another regular LORDI album. I really enjoyed writing, recording and producing the different styles for “Killection”, but the idea of simply composing a second part of it also struck me as extremely boring. And since "Killection" is a fictional album based on a previously non-existent, fictional back catalogue of music, I had an idea: The only thing that could top "Killection" would be to record and publish the back catalogue."
So Said. So Done. "Skeletric Dinosaur", "Superflytrap", "The Masterbeast", "Abusement Park", "Humanimals", "Abracadaver" and "Spooky Sextravaganza" will all be released on November 26th. The complete work is called “Lordiversity”. Monster Songs galore for the dark nights of the year. Each album was recorded according to its era of origin using its various approaches and instruments in order to come as close as possible to the sound. So, just like what would have been done in the respective time. “We borrowed authentic instruments and amps from the respective decades so we could actually play the numbers with the original equipment from that time. We recorded the songs from the 70s on a 24-track tape, as was customary then. And we used a real Hammond organ to recreate the keyboard sounds of that era. The recordings were a lot of fun. It was unbelievably challenging and at the same time, incredibly rich in experiences and impressions. If one of us made a mistake, then the one on one ended up on the track. Back then, the technology allowed very little trickery."
LORDI simply won't stop surprising, which is nice, because their show is never the same and they always introduce you to something absolutely new, unexpected, special and sometimes quite bizarre! And it will be no different on the "Lordiversitour 2022" autumn tour!
