Press
The band members Kita and Amen said the following about Deadache:
[ Kita ] " It is an old title. The title means something. We had 60 songs and have picked us 14. We had no particular (musical) ideas about. We just did what we wanted. Actually, we never think! ( laughs). " Amen ," We do what seems to be good. "
Music
Deadache is a melodic -hard rock album, but it contains more darker tones than Lordi's previous albums. All members contributed to the songs, a highlight is the song "The Rebirth Of The Countess ," written by keyboardist Awa. So it contains a spoken part in French. The song " Missing Miss Charlene " is to mention also because Mr.Lordi composed this song at the age of 12 years with some friends from Rovaniemi.
The organ at the beginning and between the verses of the song " The Devil Hides Behind Her Smile " is taken from the " Phantom of the Opera ".
