LORDI Nominated For Five NRJ Radio Awards

December 23, 2006

Finnish "monster" metal band LORDI has been nominated in several categories in the NRJ radio awards 2007, which will be held on January 19, 2007 in Helsinki, Finland. The show will be broadcast from Hartwall Arena where the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest will be held. LORDI has received nods in the following categories: Best Domestic Rock Band, Best Song (for "Hard Rock Hallelujah"),Best Album (for "The Arockalypse"),Best Nordic Song Of The Year (for "Hard Rock Hallelujah") and Nordic Artist Of The Year.

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, 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.
