Costumes
Costumes and masks are the main feature of the group. They are made of latex and hand-painted by Mr. Lordi. Before each concert, the musicians make up for more than an hour. Each image created by the musicians is unique. In the event of a change in the composition, the new member does not inherit the old image, but receives a new alias and a new mask. In addition, on the occasion of the release of a new album, the band members always have their costume designs updated. The sources of Lordi's image are such American glam metal bands as Kiss , Alice Cooper , Twisted Sister and others. At the same time, the American thrash metal band GWARopenly competes with Lordi. Their frontman, Oderus Urungus, often referred to Lordi as "the children's version of GWAR."The band's concerts are accompanied by bright pyrotechnic shows and many theatrical elements. During the performances, the participants use chainsaws, swords, skulls, zombies and monsters appear on the stage. During the performance of " Devil Is a Loser " (also at the Eurovision Song Contest with " Hard Rock Hallelujah "), Mr. Lordy "grows" huge wings on his back. A two-headed ax is also an integral part of the frontman.Lordi's music is mainly hard rock with elements of classic heavy metal. Since the group combines heavy music, masks and costumes in the style of horror, then the genre of the group can be called shock rock , although it is not such a musical direction. Musically, the band is similar in sound to Kiss , Twisted Sister , Accept and UDO.During performances, interviews and TV shows, the group appears exclusively in stage image. However, on May 22, 2006, the German tabloid Bild managed to get a few small photos of the artists. On the same day, the English newspaper Daily Mail published an opinion that Children of Bodom was hiding behind the masks of the monsters in full force The authors of the article were inspired by the fact that Enary , a former member of Lordi, had previously performed in that group. However, both groups stated that these groups are different, and what is stated in the article does not correspond to reality Exhibitions
