Reviews

Katrin Riedl from Metal Hammer magazine she mentioned in her critique "is rough, instantly recognizable voice of Mr. Lordi and the horror atmosphere and curious song titles " that are the trademark of the band. Sonically had " the Grand Prix monsters only little from their hard rock corner ventured out, but at least experimenting here and there with a pinch of electro or industrial. "

Said Jens Peters from Rock Hard, Lordi " proffer in 2013 a catchy mix of classic heavy metal and hard rock à la Accept in the style of Alice Cooper. "
