Lordi Release New Single "Retropolis" Lyric Video
Finnish hard rock / metal monster squad Lordi increase the vehement desire for their forthcoming Limited Deadition with a second single today. Titled "Retropolis," the band take fans on a trip back to the 80s both musically and lyrically. Seductive guitar and synth leads conjure feelings of nostalgia, and successfully shorten the wait until the album's release on March 21, 2025 through RPM.
"This title nearly became the name of the album as it would pretty much sum up the context of the album: Musically it's all built around this main riff which was written by our guitar player Kone. It's very 'happy' sounding and has an almost U.D.O.'s 'Faceless World' album style to it. I was thinking of how to best build a vocal line around it, without making it sound totally cliché. This would be the main riff, so the song kind of wrote itself. Lyric wise, it's painting a picture of an 80s feeling that shows like "Knight Rider," "Battlestar Galactica" or "Masters Of The Universe" brought on. It's a very visually inspired song, bringing back the cover art of Iron Maiden's 'Somewhere In Time' in my brain. It doesn't really tell a story, it just gives off an overall 80s post-apocalyptic vision in a way. That being said, I really miss those days. Everything was better back then...everything was better in neon lights!" recalls Mr Lordi. More...
