Lordi – Sexorcism (AFM)

Guilty pleasures, let’s face it we all have them although they are only really guilty if you’re ashamed of them. For someone like me with absolutely zero street cred there is no reason to be embarrassed by such things as… Continue Reading →

Lordi – Monstereophonic (Theaterror vs. Demonarchy) (AFM)

Oh Lordi! That was probably the reaction to many people upon seeing this on the review list. With numerous people all vying to play the martyr and take this off the list, I ended up getting it, being Ave Noctums… Continue Reading →

Lordi – Scare Force One (AFM)

Lordi – To Beast Or Not To Beast (AFM)

Lordi, Finland’s most outlandish Metal export return with a new CD to unleash on an unwitting public. I had actually heard an album by Lordi before their famous (or infamous) Eurovision win of 2006. I remember seeing them perform on… Continue Reading →

Winter In Eden – Echoes Of Betrayal (Lycan Records)

We had a quick listen to a couple of tracks of this when we were offered it amongst the hundreds of download reviews we get pitched each month and thought “nah it’s a little too Eurovision,” for comfort. A while… Continue Reading →
