Lordi
What makes Lordi so unique is not the fact they dress up in costume a la Slipknot and KISS. What makes them unique is the way in which they hit the big time. Lordi were the winners of the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest; a music competition known more for its European pop rather than theatrical metal bands. Hailing from Finland, the band continues going strong, with thematic approaches in their music heralding tales of monsters and apocalypses. Lordi are most certainly the new breed of shock rock in the world of metal, and most definitely a worthy inclusion in a “Heavy Metal Halloween” list.
No Misfits? Are you handicapped?

I’m guessing the Misfits weren’t “METAL” enough to be included. To that I respond with “Earth A.D.” ’nuff said.
