Finnish magazine in Finnish. 52 pages. Comes with huge Lordi poster
Lordi was formed in 1992 as a solo project by Mr Lordi and it was after the recording of his first video, Inferno, that he got the idea of a band of monsters. After several failed attempts at obtaining a recording contract, Lordi signed a record deal with Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) Finland in 2002. In July, the band released their first official single, “Would You Love A Monsterman?”, which rose to number one in Finland[ and the debut album Get Heavy won the 2003 Emma award for best domestic hard rock or heavy metal album. It was certified platinum in Finland in 2003 and multi-platinum in 2006. Already from the beginning it was obvious that Lordi would be great as comic characters and the first comic appearance came in Monster Magazine in 2002 and the second one came in Suosikki magazine the same year. It would then take a couple of years before the third one would appear. After the historic Eurovision Song Contest win in 2006 the band were everywhere. The third comic appearance was a short story called “Keräilijä” (The Collector) and it showed up in the Finnish magazine Jysäys who also ran Lordi on the cover artwork as well as on a huge poster in that number.
