Paying homage to the 80’s toy culture, Mr. Lordi and his crew of unstoppable monsters return to action with another electrifying album of heavy music.

Displaying a unique blend of nostalgia and Heavy Metal creativity, embodying the spirit of a true limited edition, Limited Deadition, the brand new album by Finnish Heavy Metal/Hard Rock monsters Lordi, pays homage to the 80’s toy culture, a theme deeply resonant with frontman Mr. Lordi, a lifelong collector of action figures and other memorabilia. Recorded in Helsinki at IluSound Studio and Finnvox Studios, with Mr. Lordi taking on production duties, mixed by Ilkka Herkman, and mastered by Pauli Saastamoinen, the album’s concept aligns seamlessly with the band’s penchant for clever wordplay and thematic innovation, making it an essential addition to any fan’s collection while again showcasing all the talent and passion for our beloved Rock N’  Roll by the aforementioned Mr. Lordi alongside Kone on the guitars, Hiisi on bass, Hella on keyboards, and Mana on drums.

SCG XIX The Hexecutioners is a classic intro like in all Lordi albums, prepping us all for their monster attack in Legends Are Made Of Clichés, sounding extremely 80’s thanks to the classic keys by Hella and the Rock N’ Roll riffs by Kone. Mr. Lordi’s raspy, devilish vocals match perfectly with the futuristic keys by Hella in Syntax Terror, an exciting Hard Rock tune that will work really well live, whereas slowing things down while investing in an AOR vibe we have Skelephant In The Room, led by the classic beats by Mana. Then after the brief interlude SCGTV Saturday Night Main Event we face Killharmonic Orchestra, offering a more Heavy Metal-inspired sonority thanks to the riffs by Kone and the rumbling bass by Hiisi, whereas Collectable presents a melancholic start to the piano by Hella, evolving into a decent ballad with a striking solo by Kone.

Then after the fun interlude SCGTV Monstersquad Action Figures it’s time to hit the dance floor with Lordi in Fangoria, where the bass by Hiisi will send shivers down your spine while Hella continues to shine with her Hard Rock/AOR-infused keys. Mr. Lordi’s vocals and Kona’s riffs kick off the also 80’s-inspired Hellizabeth, keeping the album at a high dancing level. SCGTV The Hexecutioners Season Finale is perhaps the coolest of all interludes, followed by the classic rock tune Retropolis, showcasing a solid guitar work by Kone, in special another one of his fiery solos, and the always ass-kicking vocals by Mr. Lordi. Hella’s classy piano notes ignite another ballad entitled Frighteousness, which evolves into an AOR feast that’s just average; and after a word from their “sponsors” in SCGTV Crazeee Ralph Promo, it’s time for the title-track Limited Deadition, again showcasing a great balance between heavy riffs and whimsical keys while Mana dictates the pace with his spot-on beats and fills. Then ending the album we have the cowbell-infused rockin’ tune You Might Be Deceased, with Mr. Lordi’s striking, visceral vocals being nicely supported by his bandmates classic backing vocals.

“The album topic of 80’s toys is actually just a loose theme, but it’s been with me since I was little. I’ve always been a collector of various things, and I’m even some kind of a hoarder. I can’t even remember what my first toy was, but my obsession basically started with ‘Muppet Show’ dolls, followed by ‘Star Wars’ and ‘E.T.’ figures, with the latter actually being my favorite movie of all time,” commented Mr. Lordi, and you can feel his obsession with those collectibles by purchasing your favorite version of the album by clicking HERE, therefore also feeding your heavy music collector’s hunger. don’t forget to also follow those beautiful creatures on Facebook and on Instagram, keeping updated with all of their tour dates, to subscribe to their YouTube channel, and to stream all of their creepy creations on Spotify.
