Finland's monster rock n' roll band LORDI will guest on this week's edition of "Hard Files", Sirius Satellite Radio's weekly one-hour aural glimpse into the music and lives of some of your favorite metal bands.
The band was in New York City a few weeks back to promote their new album The Arockalypse (on The End Records) and play at the annual The Bamboozle festival in New Jersey.
LORDI invaded the Sirius studios in full costume to take over host Ian Christe's show. Tune in to get inside their masks and find out what these monsters think about this summer's upcoming Ozzfest tour, the world's reaction to their metallic ascension, and how they deal with the smell of their killer costumes.

LORDI comments, "I've personally done all of the artwork for each LORDI album. And the way I've always made them was with the vinyl artwork in mind. You know what I mean? So finally, the album is going to be release in the format it was always meant to be. I hope that our previous albums will soon follow…"
