Lordi launch Hug You Hardcore video
Watch new-look Lordi in video for Hug You Hardcore, from upcoming album Monstereophonic: Theaterror Vs Demonarchy

Lordi have released a video for their track Hug You Hardcore, showcasing the Finnish band’s new look.
It’s taken from upcoming album Monstereophonic: Theaterror Vs Demonarchy, which arrives on September 16 in Europe and September 30 in North America.
The follow-up to 2014’s Scare Force One consists of two sets of music – Theaterror is described as “traditional hard-rocking songs” while Demonarchy is “more modern than ever.”
Frontman Mr Lordi recently said: “It’s our first conceptual half an album – not a full conceptual album, but half of the album is a conceptual storyline with six songs.
“It’s nothing new in the world of music, but, for Lordi it’s completely different. It’s more metal. It’s more progressive. I am really fucking thrilled about the result.”
