LORDI Advance To EUROVISION Final

May 18, 2006

Finnish hard rockers LORDI have made it to the final — along with with nine more artists — of the Eurovision Song Contest after competing in the semi-final in Athens, Greece on Thursday (May 18).

Some 23 countries took part in the semi-final, with just 10 final places up for grabs.

Fourteen more songs already await at the final, and Saturday (May 20) promises to be quite a show — 3 hours 5 minutes in length.

The winners and losers were chosen by a public text and phone vote.

Hailing from Arctic Lapland, LORDI became a phenomenon in Finland with a platinum-selling debut album, "Get Heavy", in 2002.

Their compilation album "The Monster Show" has been released in more than 20 countries.

This is the first time Finland has made it to the Eurovision Song Contest final and LORDI's "Hard Rock Hallelujah" is probably the only heavy metal/hard rock song to ever make it to the contest's final stage.
