Looks like Lordi’s upcoming album (still untitled) will be released on 20 October 2008 internationally, and 28 October 2008 in North America. No new songs to listen to yet, but I’m sure the new album will be just as awesome as the last one!

Here is Perttu’s response:

Apocalyptica is victorious!

yes…
we came,saw…and BROKE THROUGH!!!
hehe…let’s say,finally,after 12 years of existence and insanely hard work..it’s funny,and even strange that we get such an award as a “breakthrough artist” in Metal Hammer awards…
BUT,ofcourse it warms our hearts…especially because it is happening in UK(which in fact is kind of a new market for us)
and BECAUSE the award has been voted by the audience and in between such a great other nominees!
so…we’ll enjoy this moment very lots because it’s anyhow the first time we truly WIN anything outside Finland..and hehe…yes.
we are also so boring fellas that whenever there is a slightest reason to open a bottle of champaigne and lit a fine cigar.we need to use those situations.
(hmm…maybe once in every second year) :p 

So…Thanks for EVERYBODY involved,AND if this means that Apo truly did anything-broke through or broke out…
it is YOU who deserve the price,without you as the partners in crime-we would be nothing else than bunch of idiots playing some crap with some strange instruments.
(hmm…that describes our band pretty well actually..)
but..
it’s nice to see and notice that now we are bunch of idiots who are playing some crap with some strange instruments AND there are some strange people who enjoy it in some perverted way!!! YEAH!

;P

see you soon our beloved fans and followers!
let us all enjoy the summer and the festivals…

Private Line has cancelled their appearance at Valtarock in Harjavalta, Finland on the 7th of June. This appears to be the result of some kind of emergency.

Found this over on the POTF Official Site

Revolution Roulette sells gold

Poets of the Fall’s latest album Revolution Roulette has sold gold in Finland. The gold record limit was broken just two weeks after the albums’s release. A big huge thanks to you all!

Good on ya boys!

Thats right, it looks like Apocalyptica have cancelled their appearance at M’era Luna festival this year. Since they obviously won’t be doing a meet and greet either, they have launched a contest to win 2 tickets to the Große Freiheit festival (July 2, Hamburg), including meet and greet, instead. Just go here and answer the question to be entered to win.

I love this band…so I was all excited when I read this!

From Uniklubi’s official myspace

Antti’s message from the diary, English translation:

Hello!

We’ve now started setting course for the next album. The first demos are ready. A couple of days ago we recorded 7 new songs and I gotta say that there is a great feeling again. The plan is to record a few more demos during the summer and then we’ll head for the studio in the autumn.

Before that you will be indulged with a compilation, which is to be released in the autumn. In addition to the known songs there will be some new stuff and some other extras as well. At the end of the year the photobook “Uniklubi - Rakkaudesta hulluuteen” [tr. From Love to Insanity] will also be published, which picks up the best (and maybe also the worst) moments of the Luotisade tour in photos.

At the end of this month Uniklubi will start again with the summer tour, which spreads over several festivals around Finland and also elsewhere.

Have a good time waiting for the summer to come, everybody! Enjoy the sun and the warmth, if the Finnish summer offers them…

-Antti

Let it never be said that Finns do not have a sense of humour. Over the last few months The Rasmus have been posting some rather odd videos…involving a bear getting a bike and have fun in the snow. Go watch….

Nalle and the bike

Nalle has fun in the snow

So the recently Nalle found his way into Dynasty Recordings and had a bit of a spy on Lauri. At about 55 seconds in you get a quick snippet of one of the new songs.

So all I have to say is nice acting Lauri..and who the hell is in the suit!?
