LORDI Guitarist Comments On 'Shadowgrounds' PC Game Soundtrack

December 18, 2006

Amen — guitarist for Finnish monster hard rock act LORDI — recently commented about his involvement on the soundtrack for the PC game "Shadowgrounds".

"I was asked to add some live and loud guitar into the game's music and I didn't even have to think about it for a minute," says the mummified axe-slinger. "With 'Shadowgrounds'' music composer Ari Pulkkinen we had a great time in the studio and I really do believe that we added some real action into it! I hope to do something similar again."

LORDI's latest album, "The Arockalypse", was recently certified triple platinum in Finland for sales in excess of 90,000 copies. It is now also among the Top 60 best-selling albums ever in Finland.

Since winning the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest in May, LORDI's dream has grown to gargantuan heights. Besides conquering numerous European charts the band has been given their own credit card though Finland's Sampo Bank, as well as their own softdrink (Lordi Cola),LORDI candy, LORDI kebab, and comic book. A restaurant chain is coming, and, of course, stamps and coins will follow in May 2007.

As previously reported, LORDI has signed a North American deal with The End Records. "The Arockalypse" will be released in North America on March 20, 2007, with bonus tracks and a DVD.

LORDI is currently planning its first-ever jaunt of North America this spring and is confirmed for a two-night stint at the annual Bamboozle festival, set for May 5 and 6 in East Rutherford, N.J.
