LORDI – unleash ‘Fangoria’ lyric video & new studio album “Limited Deadition”

21st March 2025 0 By Jon Deaux

Get it while stocks last! Finnish hard rockers LORDI have returned, thrilling horror fans and aspiring enthusiasts alike with their 19th release, “Limited Deadition,” in the most entertaining way possible. Available now through Reigning Phoenix Music, the record pays tribute to old-school collectibles and frontmonster Mr Lordi’s joy of ‘hoarding’ all kinds of items, including magazines. That’s why the group have now also launched a lyric video for ‘Fangoria,’ another track off their new album but also the name of one of the most famous horror and movie outlets worldwide.

 

“‘Fangoria’ takes its name from the American horror and cult film magazine of the same name. It was my favourite magazine of the 80s and 90s. Monsters, horror stories, movies, and especially the articles on costume design SFX were the big things for me. I have long wanted to do a song of the matter and pay tribute to the best magazine of my youth, which certainly has its part to play among the influences that later would become a worldwide phenomenon,” grins Mr Lordi.

 

To sum it up: this song is LORDI’s nostalgia trip back to the youth of Mr Lordi – a life-long fan of horror and sci-fi genres – who was a subscriber to the magazine, drawing inspiration from every page. Fittingly, the band have even added a reference to the “Back To The Future” film series in the intro. The more observant true fans might quickly guess what it’s all about.

Known for their theatrical style and unique blend of 80s-inspired rock and heavy metal, LORDI’s latest creation is a nostalgic celebration of retro 80s toys, infused with a fresh and powerful energy. Building on the success of their 2023 album “Screem Writers Guild,” “Limited Deadition” ventures into heavier riffs and faster tempos, creating a soundscape that is both familiar and invigorating.

Recorded at IluSound Studio and Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, “Limited Deadition” was produced by Mr Lordi, mixed by Ilkka Herkman, and mastered by Pauli Saastamoinen. As always, Mr Lordi took charge of the album’s striking artwork and layout, channeling his passion for 80s memorabilia into every detail. “It’s some kind of sibling album to its predecessor,” Mr Lordi explains. “We’re still walking the path of AOR-inspired music, but this time, with a more metal touch in terms of riffs and tempo. We’ve always written what felt right and natural, and this album is no exception.”

The thematic heart of “Limited Deadition” lies in Mr Lordi’s lifelong obsession with collecting, inspired by the action figures and toys of his childhood. “The album topic of 80s toys is actually just a loose theme, but it’s been accompanying me since I was little. I’ve always been a collector of various stuff, and I’m even some kind of a hoarder. I can’t even remember which my first own toy was, but my obsession basically started with “Muppet Show” dolls, followed by “Star Wars” and “E.T.” figures, with the latter actually being my favourite movie of all time.”

The album opens with ‘SCG XIX The Hexecutioners,’ setting the stage for an exciting blend of cinematic and melodic heavy rock. Tracks like ‘Legends Are Made Of Clichés’ and ‘Skelephant In The Room’ highlight LORDI’s knack for creating larger-than-life anthems. Meanwhile, the poignant ballad ‘Collectable’ reflects on the fleeting value of physical objects in a digital world, while the title track, ‘Limited Deadition,’ makes a bold statement celebrating collectors and their passion.
