AMG Review of The Arockalypse
Greg Prato
All Music GuideThe early 21st century saw many new bands emerge that worshiped good-time, anthemic heavy metal from the '80s. The Darkness immediately come to mind, and also Finland's Lordi. Musically and visually modeled after such groups as Kiss, Alice Cooper, Twisted Sister, and W.A.S.P., Lordi caused a sensation by winning the 2006 Eurovision contest, which in turn made their third release, The Arockalypse, a hit throughout Europe. Fist-pumping metal with over the top theatrics abound throughout, especially on the album's Euro hit, "Hard Rock Hallelujah," as well as the oh-so-subtle "Bringing Back the Balls to Rock" and the power allad "It Snows in Hell." Add special guest appearances by Kiss' Bruce Kulick, Accept's Udo Dirkschneider, and Twisted Sister's Dee Snider and Jay Jay French, and you have quite a headbanging ock & roll party. To sum it up succinctly, if GWAR actually wrote memorable songs, they would be quite a lot like Lordi.

More time spent with my Lordi album, this song has also come forward as one of my favorite on the album.It has a video nearly as awesome as the Hard Rock Hellelujah video. That girl is creepy.

Track:could you love a monsterman
This has to be the funniest band to come out of sweden in years. four guys in zombie costumes playing 80's metal remenicint of alice cooper. catchy stuff tho so take a break from serious music about death and polotics and the pain of seperation and just wallow for a moment in pure kitch and zombie silliness. Could you love a monster man?

A lot of people say to me, "Brendan! I know you to be a fan of Finnish Monster Metal Band Lordi; when's their movie coming out?"Okay. Not one single person has said anything even close to that. In point of fact, I am the only person I know who is looking forward to the Lordi movie. In any case, it premieres in Finland on February 8th. No idea when it'll make it to the US, but I'm betting on a

So today's track is another audio horror movie, but, not, to be fair, an actual song. Rather, it's the opening skit on Lordi's The Arockalypse. Normally I hate these kinds of things and don't even bother to rip them from the CD, but I think this one is actually pretty effective at setting the mood. I think what they've learned from the original Dawn of the Dead is that there's something extr...
