Lordi sign to Atomic Fire Records, new album arriving in spring 2023

Finnish hard rock band Lordi have joined the Atomic Fire Records roster.

Announced today, their new studio album will be unveiled next spring on the record label. This will follow last year’s seven-album box set Lordiversity.

Lordi said this about the move:

"We are damn proud to announce that LORDI are joining the impressive ranks of Atomic Fire Records! We're quite psyched up to stir the pots with Markus Wosgien, Flori Milz, and their fantastic team. Leaving AFM Records (thanks a million, Jochen) was not an easy decision for us since the support there was always great! Stay tuned monster maniacs -- the next era is all set and ready and awaiting just right around the corner..."

Atomic Fire Records label founder/A&R Markus Wosgien also said:

"With LORDI, we are happy to welcome another heavyweight of the heavy metal scene to Atomic Fire Records. Twenty years ago, their fantastic debut Get Heavy was released and you simply had to love them! The combination of their monster image with traditional '80s metal was a real joy on every single one of their albums and is always a guarantee for a true metal inferno live on stage. What Mr. Lordi and his monster clan recently created on the seven-CD package Lordiversity still leaves me speechless and will probably never be seen again in this form. We are looking forward to the next chapter with some new monster anthems par excellence!"

Lordi will be spending the rest of 2022 touring in support of their massive effort. Next year, the band will tour Europe with Sabaton and Babymetal. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
