Lordi

Heavy metal
Heavy metal

Lordi is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Kiss, Nightwish, Gene Simmons, Type O Negative and Lizzy Borden. Those roots explain a lot about how Lordi arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Marko Hietala, Mokoma, Edguy, Dream Evil and Grave Digger, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Sam Ryder, Teräsbetoni, Sanctuary Records and Beast in Black, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Lordi, reaching back through Kiss and forward to Sam Ryder.
