Lordi recently released the official video for their new song, ‘The Riff’ – check it out below:
To Beast Or Not To Beast was recorded last fall at WireWorld Studio in Nashville, TN with renowned producer Michael Wagener (METALLICA, OZZY OSBOURNE, SKID ROW, DOKKEN, RAVEN, MEGADETH). The CD marks the recording debut of Lordi’s new members, keyboardist Hella (replacing Awa) and drummer Mana (replacing Otus).
“The road to this album has truly been paved by hardships,” Mr. Lordi says. “However, the new line-up of the band has given us new and fresh touch and an energetic edge to the recording process, and to the album itself.”
