Guests


The Arockalypse has many guest-stars on its tracks: Dee Snider and Jay Jay French from Twisted Sister, Udo Dirkschneider from Accept/U.D.O. and Bruce Kulick from Kiss. Before the album was released in Finland, there were rumours about other possible guest stars, including Sebastian Bach from Skid Row, Alice Cooper, King Diamond, Rob Zombie, and other members of Kiss, the latter being Lordi's greatest influence. In reality, only Sebastian Bach and Alice Cooper were ever asked to be guests on the album, but neither were able to make it.[citation needed]

The Arockalypse — третий и самый успешный студийный альбом хеви-метал-группы Lordi, вышедший в 2006 году. Этот альбом содержит песню «Hard Rock Hallelujah», с которой группа победила на конкурсе песни «Евровидение» в 2006 году. Альбом стал трижды платиновым в Финляндии и золотым в Швеции, Германии и Греции. В чартах Финляндии, Греции и Швеции он добрался до первых мест, а в Германии, Эстонии и Швейцарии был замечен в десятках лучших. На обложке изображён басист OX, но на самом деле все басовые партии на альбоме сыграл Kalma, о чём сказано во вкладыше внутри.
