Monsters have more fun

So the truth is sometimes music just sounds better when delivered by bodacious hell-beasts. I was reading a news post on BBC about Morrissey possibly being in the next Eurovision. At the bottome they mention last years winner "Lordi". Next to that is a picture of a demon wailing on guitar. First i said "Oh Fuck" then I googled searched Lordi. Lordi hail from Finland and are most easily compared to Gwar, however not as over the top and sexual. The songs titles that i've seen so far are pretty awesome though, such as "Would You Love a Monsterman" and "Devil is a Loser". here's an excerpt from their bio:

"Amen the unstoppable mummy, Awa the vampire countess, Ox the hellbull and Kita the alien manbeast, share the combined strengths of all the beasts known to man. Led by Lordi, this true last gang in town arm themselves with guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, voice and killer songs. And then there was sound! Once you wake up from the Monsterican Dream you`ll know at least one thing. Monsters have more fun."

pretty awesome. check out the wikipedia page for more Lordi Action. Watch they're video here.
