25 Apr 2022
Check out what happened when we sat down with Mr Lordi himself.
Meet the monstrous Mr. Lordi as he sits down with Play'n GO for a tell-all sit-down interview, as we learn more about the masked dynamo behind the iconic metal band and their new slot, Lordi Reel Monsters.
As the curtain rises on the release of Lordi Reel Monsters, we delve into the eerie realms of creativity with the mastermind behind the monstrous band: none other than Mr. Lordi himself.
He takes us through how his designs come to life, his favourite rock album and what it was like working on their very first game as a band. Stay tuned as we unravel the depths of Lordi's creative universe and unearth more spine-chilling insights.
What can your fans expect from Lordi Reel Monsters?
I think the fans can expect a true Lordi experience. Every single detail in this game is personally supervised by me. So I hope the fans will appreciate the whole effort that has been put into this. So it is a real Lordi slot game.
Two original songs were created just for the slot, Reel Monsters and Better Hate than Never. Was the process of writing exclusively for the gameplay different from writing a song for your album?
Well, because I write all the time, I write new music all the time.
For me, it’s no different where it’s gonna be created. Whether it is created for, a Lordi album or for a game you know like this for example. It doesn’t differ anyway in the process. Except for the fact that the lyrics have to be a bit toned down than what I would usually write.
But other than that, Lordi is Lordi. There’s no difference. Because what I write is what I write, what comes out comes out.
What was it like it collaborating with Play’n GO?
It was pretty interesting for me personally because this is the first time that Lordi as a band, or me personally.
We’ve never been involved in anything like this before. Not in the gaming world, well basically in any sense. So it was pretty interesting yeah.
All of your costumes are awesome, if you could choose to wear one of your bandmate’s costumes for a day, which would it be and why?
I would absolutely wear Hella’s costume because I think I would carry that so well. You know, strutting away and shaking my butt.
I think I would be one hot momma.
Any messages to your fans who haven’t been to a Lordi concert for a while?
Well, I haven’t been to a Lordi concert in a while either! So, just hang in there.
We’ll meet again sooner than you think. I think this is actually a good breather for me, at least, personally.
