January 28, 2023 James Weaver

LORDI have announced a new album!

Titled Screem Writers Guild, the upcoming album from the Finnish hard rock band is the follow-up to 2021’s Lordiversity boxset and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Atomic Fire Records.

The upcoming album was produced by vocalist Mr. Lordi with Mana and Janne Halmkrona as executive producers. Ilkka Herkman took care of its mixing and Pauli Saastamoinen mastered the record. The artwork was also designed by Mr. Lordi himself who has made a name as director for the band’s vision since the early 90s.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Lucyfer Prime Evil. Speaking about the new song, vocalist Mr Lordi says, “this is a first chance for the fans to hear our new guitar player Kone in action on a record. He is doing a pretty lengthy guitar solo on the track, with Hella backing him up by keyboard harmonies here and there. It’s also the very first time in LORDI‘s history that you can actually hear the whole band sing backing vocals on this album. Story-wise, Lucyfer Prime Evil gives a quite good example of the themes and lyrical content that await you on the record: it’s a horror story, kinda like an eery horror movie theme song. Although this song isn’t really based on any particular horror movie, the conceptual theme of what to expect from the whole album should come across pretty clear.”
