What does one think of first when hearing the word “Abracadaver”? Maybe a witch damned for all eternity to clean the deserts of cadavers?
You will know after hearing this track – it certainly is a thrash metal influenced but still unmistakably “Lordi-sounding“ masterpiece!
The video for “Abracadaver” is available now
LORDI doing Thrash Metal? After 2020’s KILLECTION already featured a song ABRACADAVER is a whole album full of 90’s Speed and Thrash metal inspired songs. Heavy riffs are guaranteed to make every fan of Sepultura, Kreator or Anthrax bang their head to the fast-paced rhythm.
Certainly an album full of songs guaranteed to create giant moshpits at every concert they are performed at. Grab a beer and put on your finest battle jacket when giving ABRACADAVER a spin! Today 2 tracks – “Abracadaver” and “Beast Of Both Worlds” – are heralding this phenomenal album, which will be released digitally on December 10th.
The rock/heavy metal band, LORDI, was officially founded in 1992 by singer, songwriter and designer, Mr.
Lordi. The band is deeply rooted in Finland and originally comes from Rovaniemi in Northern Lapland. In 2006, the band achieved their international breakthrough with their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest (“Hard Rock Hallelujah”). So far, so good.
But what if this had only been our own little wretched reality so far and in actuality, things are quite different? What if LORDI have actually been active since the early 70s and unleashing one hit after another onto humanity since then?
This is the idea behind “Killection”, the last studio album.
It’s a compilation album that imagines that LORDI has existed since the early 70’s. It delivers all the hit singles from the different decades and as they would have sounded if LORDI had made music at that time. The accompanying back catalogue will finally appear in the form of “Lordiversity” – two years after its Best Of and simply from beyond time and space.
Mr. Lordi explains: “In the week of March 2020, after our tour had to be cancelled due to Corona, I thought that I must use the extra time that was available to me. It quickly became clear that the time was perfect to start planning another album, even though “Killection” wasn’t even three months old at the time. But then I realised that there couldn’t be anything more boring than making another regular LORDI album. I really enjoyed writing, recording and producing the different styles for “Killection”, but the idea of simply composing a second part of it also struck me as extremely boring. And since “Killection” is a fictional album based on a previously non-existent, fictional back catalogue of music, I had an idea: The only thing that could top “Killection” would be to record and publish the back catalogue.
“
So Said. So Done. “Skeletric Dinosaur“, “Superflytrap“, “The Masterbeast“, “Abusement Park“, “Humanimals“, “Abracadaver” and “Spooky Sextravaganza Spectacular” will all be released on November 26th as physical products (7-CD Box or 7-LP Box in various colours). The complete work is called “Lordiversity”. Monster Songs galore for the dark nights of the year.
