Lordi Unveil Deadache Album Artwork

Oh LORDI! The Finnish monster-rockers are now ready to roll out their new album Deadache on October 28th, 2008 in the US. The last piece to the puzzle is now ready – the album’s intense cover art, a one-of-a-kind piece hand painted by Mr. Lordi himself, is making the rounds of the faithful.
Upon speaking about what went into the design of the cover, the bands vocalist and creative mastermind – Mr. Lordi had this to say – “I wanted to do a picture that is somewhat striking, while at the same time not trying to hide the new look of the monsters in any way. So it is not mysterious or ‘fantasized’, just the five faces, well lit up.”

Mr. Lordi goes on to add, “For anyone who knows Lordi, it will be clear that it is us when you see the cover. It is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It took about two weeks to finish it, as I am really way too detailed with my paintings. Then I took a photo of it and continued the work with photoshop, leveling and balancing the colors and saturation as well as adding the logos.”
Deadache will be released in over 30 countries, including all of Europe, the US, and Japan.  The band is kicking off a US tour following the release of the album, in early November 2008. A series of special events in New York City will kick off this run – look out for further info on these developments to be announced on or around 10/20!
