Posted By: Metal Sludge

Finland -- On March 1st, The monster band from Finland, Lordi is releasing their sixth studio album "To Beast Or Not To Beast".

The new album was recorded earlier this fall, at WireWorld Studio in Nashville, TN with renowned producer Michael Wagener (METALLICA, OZZY OSBOURNE, SKID ROW, DOKKEN, RAVEN,MEGADETH) just like their previous album.

Last year marked two milestones for Lordi, both the 20th year anniversary of the band and the 10th anniversary of the release of their debut album "Get Heavy".

However, all the planned celebration was cancelled when the drummer Otus passed away on February 13th. After some time of silence, the band played several summer festivals in Europe with a temporary drummer.

In December, new keyboardist Hella and new drummer Mana completed the band.

Lordi is rehearsing their new stage show as we speak and will start the new album campaign on April 3rd on a 7 week tour of Europe, playing in Germany, U.K., Ireland, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and Finland.
