Lordi have shared a new track called “Syntax Terror.” That song will appear on their new album “Limited Deadition,” which is set to be released on March 21. Mr. Lordi said the following the song:
“The writing of this song started out with its main keyboard riff. I played around with those mono sounds, trying to come up with something with a very ’80s-action-movie-opening-score feel. ‘Syntax Terror’ actually almost became the album title, but then it was discovered that other people have had the same idea way before I did. On the verses I was thinking of Judas Priest, on the chorus of Manowar and — as icing on the cake — Udo Dirkschneider-type of screams to belch out the title. Don’t ask what the lyrics are about. ‘Syntax Terror’ is a very ’80s-heavy-metal-style song, painting abstract pictures with every line!”
He also added the following about the album:
“It’s some kind of sibling album to its predecessor. We’re still walking the path of AOR-inspired music, but this time, with a more metal touch in terms of riffs and tempo. We’ve always written what felt right and natural, and this album is no exception.
The album topic of ’80s toys is actually just a loose theme, but it’s been accompanying me since I was little. I’ve always been a collector of various stuff, and I’m even some kind of a hoarder. I can’t even remember which my first own toy was, but my obsession basically started with ‘Muppet Show’ dolls, followed by ‘Star Wars’ and ‘E.T.’ figures, with the latter actually being my favorite movie of all time.”
