Encyclopedia

hard rock
band Lordi
. It is the first single from the fourth studio album Deadache
and was released digitally on September 1 and physically on September 3. The song rose to number one in the Finnish charts.
While the storyline to the video is far more obscure than that of the previous videos, it appears to revolve around a police detective searching a slaughterhouse for evidence, presumeably due to something Lordi has done. As a result Lordi tortures him with a painful sound emitted from a record, and a television screen showing numerous home videos invaded by the monsters, attacking. The detective finds Lordi, in pure fear and shock, and Lordi leans over him. Awa is holding a video camera, and the video ends with a shot of it.
