Lordi, revealed
Lordi, a Finnish "death metal" band whose motto is "Europe Get Ready to Get Scared", were the unexpected winners of the Eurovision Song Contest . Lordi have been hailed as heroes in their home country after scoring Finland's first ever Eurovision Song Contest victory reports BBCnews
Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat proclaimed: "It's official: Hell has frozen over. Finland has won." Helsingin Sanomat wrote: "Years of humiliation, frustration, and 'zero points' were wiped away as the Finnish entry blew everyone off the stage in Athens. Lordi, a foursome from the small town of Rovaniemi just north of the Arctic Circle, do not appear in public without their latex horror masks. They claimed on their website before the event to be "the most rocking Eurovision entry since Abba's Waterloo". Meanwhile, the sun uk has scored some images of Lordi without the horror makeup. The Finnish hell-raisers startled viewers with their gruesome stage outfits, which they wore all weekend as they romped to victory in Athens. But, as the Sun's picture shows, they look a lot less hairraising without their Lord of the Rings-style outfits. Lordi notched 292 points, 44 ahead of Russia in second place. British entry Daz Sampson, 32, could only finish 19th out of 24 countries with his effort Teenage Life. The rapper, from Salford, Manchester, said: “There were some very good songs in it this year. I thought mine was one of them — obviously Europe didn’t agree.� A highlight of the show was Silvia Night. Night is a fictional Icelandic pop star Here's her performance at Eurovision which led to boos from the audience.

The picture that The Sun has 'found' isn't Lordi at all, It's their ex-keyboard player who was asked to leave the band at the end of last year, and Alexi Laiho and Henkka Blacksmith of the band Children Of Bodom. Research your facts before you publish stuff like this.

Claire is so right. Those two fellas are from Children of Bodom for sure, everyone from finland will regonice them (those who listen metal music :E).
Posted by: Tumeski | May 22, 2006 1:02 PM
You are fucking losers why ad the real photo of lordi...

Thats not Lordi, its Hennka Blacksmith (middle) and Alexi Leiho (right) from Children of Bodom. The woman played keyboards with them before COB was formed.
Posted by: Mel | May 22, 2006 4:14 PM
That isn't even Lordi. Good going, SUN!
Posted by: Da1 | May 22, 2006 5:37 PM
lordi are not a "death metal" band
they are very far from being one
Posted by: arik | May 22, 2006 5:44 PM
Fake, you said it, Claire...they're tryin to get people...
a bit desperate....
And they don't play "death metal"...it's just heavy metal, you bastards...
Posted by: Tarkal | May 22, 2006 7:14 PM
those guys are from children of bodom, not from lordi. BAAAD mistake.
Posted by: COB FIN! | May 23, 2006 3:12 AM
their masks are their image, like slipknot, mushroomhead etc, its what they're known for.
+ they're faces aren't in the newspapers all day, cause APPARENTLY THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY LOOK
Posted by: Tenrash | May 23, 2006 6:46 AM
Hahahahaa, good laugh! The funniest thing is by far that other papers bought it.. and POOF! That is front page cover on billions of papers!

lordi rules!!!
very good song text:
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
The saints are crippled
On this sinners' night
Lost are the lambs with no guiding light
The walls come down like thunder
The rocks about to roll
It's The Arockalypse
Now bare your soul
All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n roll angels bring that Hard Rock Hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring that Hard Rock Hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high
The true believers
Thou shall be saved
Brothers and sisters keep strong in the faith
On the day of Rockoning
It's who dares, wins
You will see the jokers soon'll be the new kings
All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n roll angels bring that Hard Rock Hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring that Hard Rock Hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high
Wings on my back
I got horns on my head
My fangs are sharp
And my eyes are red
Not quite an angel
The one that fell
Now choose to join us or go straight to Hell
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Rock 'n roll angels bring that Hard Rock Hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring that Hard Rock Hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high
Hard Rock Hallelujah!

pfff u suck! those in d pic are children of bodom. the first one is erna siikavirta, in the very early beginning of CoB. she used to play as a session keyboardist for lordi and CoB, at that time known as inearthed and consisting of alexi ((lead guitar/vocals)appearing 3rd in pic) and henkka (bass), 2nd in pic.
Posted by: daniel briffa | May 23, 2006 2:40 PM
It's The Arockalypse?
Are you kidding me? This bad makes me think of Spinal Tap. But of course Spinal Tap are a gazillion times better. That fake singer should have won, at least she was funny.
Posted by: Genevieve | May 23, 2006 4:51 PM
yea.. they're not Lordi but COB! It is also written in the official site of Children of Bodom.. How can I forget Alexi's face :) For the first glance I said "wow the guy on the right looks like Alexi". And then it turned out to be him :)

Very nice that you found out about things before posting this here.. But of course something like THE SUN is a trustable source, huh?
Now how about you make a little edit in this "article" and make it say that it actually isn't a picture of Mr. Lordi or anyone else of the _current_ band.
Posted by: Yankowich | May 24, 2006 9:50 AM
just to agree with everyone - definately Henkaa and Alexi. And I also gotta agree that Arockalypse may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard
Posted by: zantar69 | May 24, 2006 10:10 AM
why does everyone wants to know how they look without their mask? is it SOO important?
It's also a big mistake to confuse Lordi with COB!!
& also it's a HEAVY metal band.. Far away from Death metal!
it's because of all this gossips people don't know anything right about metal or gothics!..
Maybe only the people that know something about these music have to post or say anything about it!
It's a shame!..
I'm proud of finland with their lordi.. They are the winners .. like it has to be
Posted by: Audrey from Belgium | May 24, 2006 11:16 AM
in lithuania (6th place.. still we are the winners ) on friday the will be a show about eurovision and lt united has braught some their videos.. in which there will be real lordi without costumes.. yee-haa
Posted by: disappointed_doll | May 24, 2006 2:10 PM
HAISTAKAA PASKA!
Ei noi ole edes Lordi!
Mua vituttaa oikeesti miten IDIOOTTEJA OOTTE!
Ja sitä paitsi MITÄ SE TEILLE KUULUU millaset pärstät Lordin jäsenillä on!
Minkä vitun takia haluutte pilata toisten uran?!
VITUN HINTIT!
Posted by: Minä | May 24, 2006 2:27 PM
dudes what the hell is with that picture that you think is "lordi". if you actually knew music, you would know that that picture is actually and old picture of the band Children Of Bodom with their ex keyboardist. from a very angry children of bodom fan.
Posted by: angry children of bodom fan | May 24, 2006 2:37 PM
duuuudes that is soo fucking GAY!!!!!!!!! thats not even fucking lordi you jackasses!! its Alexi Laiho and Henkka Blacksmith from Children Of Bodom!!! if you dont belive me then go on www.cobhc.com and find out for yourself you gays. Children Of Bodom rules and lordi aint even death metal, they are shiiiit!!!!! do some research before you post stuff like this jackasses!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: ryan | May 24, 2006 2:48 PM
yea yea nice..
some agressive metalheadz, your reputation is clear now :P
i liked that song very much and i would say that it sounds a bit too melodic for "heavy metal" :)
Posted by: Jenny | May 25, 2006 7:43 AM
Lordi doesn't play heavy metal, it's only hard rock but i like it!
Greetings from Finland
Posted by: spot | May 26, 2006 7:34 AM
Jenny, they ain't agressive, their just mad for this gay show that 'sun' gave them... Lordi ain't gonna take of their masks, so don't put other band pic's on your cover's freacks...
HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH!
Posted by: Jeffrey | May 26, 2006 8:18 AM
Miksi kreikkalaiset yritti vetää Lordin pois kisasta? Miksi lehdissä julkaistaan kuvia Putaansuusta? Miksi Lordia haukutaan satanistiksi?
Tässä on kysymys kateudesta. Lordi on niin perkeleen hyvä!!! Kaikin tavoin yritetään tahria mainetta, kun bändissä ei oikeasti ole mitään vikaa.
Saisitte hävetä!
Och samma på svenska:
Why did greeks try to prevent Lordi's appearance in Eurovision? Why does magazines publish pictures that pretend to be Mr. Putaansuu? Why do people accuse Lordi for being satanist?
This is all about ENVY! Lordi is is so damn good!!! They are trying to spoil his reputation every way, even there is NOTHING wrong with the band.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!
Lordi is the good one - this phenomenon only brings out the bad ones, the idiots who blame and scorn Lordi.
And you know what? All of this just makes Lordi even better and better.
Pinnat Lordille!!! H.R.H!!!
Posted by: Jenna | May 26, 2006 8:28 AM
And in the other pic is acctually Finnish singer Topi Sorsakoski in his early days. Check it out

Posted by: Luis | May 26, 2006 8:39 AM
How the hell anyone can say that lordi is Death metal.
Do you even F*****g know what the h**l Death metal is?
And those guys are not Lordi.
+Second best laughter(Best was When some paper revealed "The secret's of all" metallists/headbanggers
and claimed them to be satanist(So they just told the Usual stereoptype about them).
-For everything else. You suck.
Hope Your lives will suck.
Posted by: Very angry Deathmetal Fan. | May 26, 2006 12:37 PM
Assfuckers. Is it that much fun to publish Tomi's real face? He must be so goddamn happy when you can't even obey his only wish in return for his gig.
Every fuckin' magazine which published Tomi's face should be burned. Can't stand people's envy and childish act against Lordi's winning.
And why am I saying this? well because I'm from Finland myself and Lordi kicks ass. And no, I didn't start listening to their music after their winning, I started to listen to Lordi in the year of 2002.
Posted by: Kirito | May 26, 2006 5:37 PM
This thing has everything wrong:
First, The Sun's picture is of Children of Bodom! Get owned foolish website!
Second, Lordi are NOT death metal they are symphonic rock/metal whatever, but not death metal. Seriously People need to get thier fucking genres of music right.
Also, they're Satanists I hear? I dont think so, Check it out for yourself www.churchofsatan.com I think you'll find its not the stereo-typical preconception everyone has. Us satanists are nice people really >:]
Oh and by the way I wouldnt belive anything the sun has to write about, you know the articles in the sun have to be able to be read by an 8 year old? need I say more.
Posted by: "miracle Grow" Joe | May 26, 2006 6:45 PM
Lordi are fucking bitches. They´re just a bunch of losers that don´t wanna show their faces because they´re so god damn ugly!!!
Posted by: LORDI SUCKS | May 26, 2006 8:36 PM
Bitches, why would reveal them without masks?! Lordi rox and face it!
Shout out from Slovenia ;)
Posted by: Shorty | May 27, 2006 7:26 AM
Doesn`t Sun magazine know what happened to the finnish shit-paper seiska when it published that so called Tomi Putaansuu photo(that can easily be a fake)? People got really angry and have now started campaigns against it! So good luck with your arrogancy! You are just bad losers and try to blackpaint a good band! I also think that it is wrong that 4 countries always buy their way to the finals and don`t have to go through semifinals, but it seems that they should go there because now they just embarras themselves in the finals every year! :D What a bunch of wossies! You know you couldn`t even get through the semifinals so you pay your way in.
Posted by: Hensku | May 27, 2006 10:46 AM
Are you kidding Luis?
And to all this pissed off people here:
We read it 5000 times, that this picture is from COB and that Lordi is NOT death metal.
Are you able to read? Doesn't seem like this Oô
Question:
Does anyone know a link to a bigger picture of the richt one? http://www.laflecha.net/storage/images/1/3/lordi_bg.jpg
Please post it, I wanna drool, whoever it is xD
<3 Jenny
Posted by: Jenny | May 27, 2006 7:14 PM
If they aren't satanists, why do they have lyrics like they do that suggests they are? It isn't just the media playing into the stereotypes, it's the band too.
It's all a gimmick, the costumes, the masks, the lyrics, the whole thing. And if you rely on a gimmick that might mean that your music ain't worth shit.

LOL!
You know, from left to right on the pic below -> Erna Siikavirta, Henkka Blacksmith and Alexi Laiho. A very old pic of the finnish metal-band "Children Of Bodom". Erna was helping Children Of Bodom during their tour when their own keyboardist couldn't come with them. And Henkka is basist, and Alexi the front figure and also one of the worlds best guitar-player. Lordi? NO. WELL DONE!
Posted by: mjauy # | June 7, 2006 5:21 PM
We are a heavy metal/ rock groupe. I, do not like my picture on here and I would like it to be removed. Now. Without the costume I am not Lordi, and as this is mainly about Lordi I suggest you remove it and put a picture up of Mr. Lordi! Thanks to all of you fans out there!
Mr Lordi
Posted by: Mr. Lordi | June 9, 2006 2:24 AM
Well, if you aren't a fake mr lordi, and if you are fake, you are a massive fan :), then i agree with you. Good that i dont own this site. But this means it's a real photo... you're a fake! >:(
Posted by: Mikeman | June 9, 2006 1:02 PM
how can they be satanists when in the lyrics of another song they say "The Devil is a loser and he's my bitch." Isn't satan the devil? I don't think they'd be satanists if they thought satan was a bitch. btw.... LORDI ROCKS!!!!!
