Lordi is a Finnish hard rock and heavy metal band, formed in 1992. Its formed by band’s lead singer, costume designer and songwriter, Mr. Lordi. Lordi started in 1992 as Mr. Lordi's solo project. Since 1996 Lordi has been a band, and since 2000 there has been always five members in Lordi.
The band is known by for using monster masks and horror elements with pyrotechnics during concerts. One of the reasons is because they want to still remain their personality. Lordi’s costumes were inspirited by Kiss and the horror genre and Mr Lordi himself has said that without Kiss, Lordi probably wouldn’t exist.
Lordi's music is mainly hard rock combined with strong elements of heavy metal music. The band's horror-related albums, the monster costumes worn by all band members, and the horror elements of their performances are hallmarks of shock rock. The band was mostly influenced by KISS, but also by Alice Cooper and Twisted Sister.
Lordi made history in 2006 by becaming the first, and still the only the hard rock act to win the Eurovision Song Contest with their song Hardrock Hallelujah. They’re also the only Finnish winners.
