Lordi to release new studio album “Killection” on January 31st 2019

AFM Records are extremely excited to announce the new album “Killection” from the acclaimed Finnish Hard Rock/Heavy Metal monsters Lordi!  
 
“Killection” will hit the streets on January 31st, 2020, and this, the tenth album in the band’s history, has turned out to be the most extraordinary and varied album so far.
 
Rock/Heavy Metal monsters Lordi were founded in 1992 by lead singer, songwriter, visual art designer and costume designer Mr. Lordi. The band has deep Finnish roots originating from the city of Rovaniemi in Lapland. In 2006 they celebrated their international breakthrough by winning the Eurovision Song Contest ('Hard Rock Hallelujah”).
 
But is it possible that this is only a pale misperception of our poor, limited reality? What if Lordi would have already been making music since the early 70s? And what if they have been releasing one hit single after the other since those times and now, almost 50 years later, are looking back on a full collection of songs that have been successful ever since? This is exactly the idea that Lordi are executing with their newest studio album “Killection”.

“Killection” will be released on January 31st, 2019, via AFM Records. Once more Mr. Lordi, the master of the masquerade, presents us with one of his ideas, absurd and genius at the same time, and comes up with a concept that has never been done before in the music industry: This is a compilation album that simply says “what if” Lordi had been in existence since the early 70s. It contains all their imaginary hit singles from different periods done with painstaking attention to detail using authentic studios and vintage technology. This is how they would have sounded if Lordi had made music back then and therefore would have had the hit material to release this compilation now.
 
This is how Mr. Lordi himself sums it up:
“"Killection" is a fictional compilation album. It contains songs that Lordi would have written between the early 70s through the mid-90s. The compilation contains one "brand new" song from 2019 as well, cause that’s somehow always typical for compilations”.
