** It's worth noting that the band takes their monster personas ''extremely seriously'', refusing to be seen out of costume, only using their stage names while in costume, and speak exclusively in English. Former drummer Kita was let go simply for having a ''side project'' where he performed out of costume, using his real name.
Added DiffLines:
* OnceAnEpisode: Every album has at least one "Scarctic Circle Gathering" track, which aren't really songs, but generally Lordi-themed audio tracks serving as an introduction to the record, be it through a mock-movie trailer, a fake news report, a creepy nursery rhyme or a parody of a classic rock radio station.
Added DiffLines:
* SeriousBusiness: Their monster personas. They do all their interviews in-costume and go by their stage names on the credit. Making your face public as a Lordi member is terms for immediate dismissal, and even in the age of social media, no photos of the current lineup, bar one decades-old pre-Lordi picture of Mr. Lordi are known to exist.

Though in fairness, the band did credit the bassists.
** In a recent interview, Mr. Lordi revealed that he played all guitars on the "Demonarchy" side of ''Monstereophonic'', not Amen, who had trouble getting the guitar parts down, and who was heavily against the entire project to begin with.

** ''Superflytrap'' (1979) - a disco album inspired by Earth, Wind and Fire, the Bee Gees and Boney M.
** ''The Masterbeast from the Moon'' - a progressive rock record inspired by the likes of Rush and Pink Floyd.
** ''Abusement Park'' - a traditional heavy metal album influenced by 80's Kiss, Scorpions, W.A.S.P and Twisted Sister.
** ''Humanimals'' - an 80's pop rock/glam metal record inspired by Bon Jovi, or latter-day Alice Cooper.
** ''Abracadaver'' - a straight forward thrash metal cut heavily influenced by Metallica, Anthrax and Pantera
** ''Spooky Sextravaganza Spectacular'' - is a mid-90's industrial metal album, quite similar to White Zombie, Rammstein and ''very'' early Lordi demos.

* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Lordi's music after the dissolution of the Eurovision lineup is markedly different from their classic material, being heavier, more metal-influenced and even more shocking in terms of lyrics, themes and music videos.

He notes that the rotting smell has grown on him throughout the trip.
