LORDI - New Single Due February 8th; Artwork Unveiled Finnish shock rockers
LORDI will now release their new album,
To Beast
Or Not To Beast, on March 1st worldwide (excluding Finland), via AFM
Records. The album will be released on March 19th in North America via
The End Records. Prior to the album release, the band will issued a
single for the track, 'The Riff, out on February 8th. The artwork for
the single can be seen below:
To Beast Or Not To Beast was recorded earlier this fall at WireWorld
Studio in Nashville, TN with renowned producer
Michael Wagener (METALLICA, OZZY OSBOURNE, SKID ROW, DOKKEN, RAVEN, MEGADETH). The CD
will mark the recording debut of
Lordi's new members, keyboardist
Hella (replacing Awa) and drummer
Mana (replacing Otus).
“The road to this album has truly been paved by hardships,”
Mr.
Lordi says. “However, the new line-up of the band has given us new and
fresh touch and an energetic edge to the recording process, and to the
album itself.”
"The album cover painting is actually a part of a larger picture.
The original artwork had this vintage- styled lady holding a horned
skull, which, however, was not the main point of the art piece. There
was something not quite right with the setting, so I made experiments
with various versions and framings. Album title was Upgradead at that
point in time, and the painting was done with that title in mind. But
now, with a changed concept of the artwork, the title did not seem to
fit anymore. We did not consider it an A-class name either. Our
guitarist Amen came up with the final title, which we felt suitable and
perfect both for the cover artwork and the album."
