The Lordi band has had many twists and turns. For author Maria Jyrkas, the key question in the book is: “what is the reward for not giving up?”
Otherwise, the book focuses on the music and the band and the events and people that are essentially related to them.
– We spent over a hundred hours talking to Mr Lord and almost another hundred with the other voices in the book, says Maria Jyrkäs, who wrote the two-year project.
In the first-person, diary-like Lordiary, for example, all but two of the current and former band members have a voice. One of them refused and the other is dead.
– There are, for example, record company directors, managers and Mr. Lord’s childhood friends. There has been a desire to include a wide range of perspectives.
– He brings the legal context and expertise of how serious the situations have been that Lordi as a band has gone through, says Jyrkäs.
For this reason, according to Jyrkäs, Lordiary is not only a biography or a history of the band, but at the same time it is an in-depth look at how the international music business works.
– It’s also a look at what can happen when there’s a lot going on at the same time, the doors are open to the world and we get into a situation where there’s no choice but to act in a certain way.
Jyrkäs sees the key question of the book as what is it like to follow your own vision at a high cost and what is the reward for not giving up?
However, Mr. Lordi does not regard the work as a textbook for bands dreaming of the international music business, even though it involves a lot of learning the hard way.
– The contracts should be read by a lawyer and you should at least try to follow where you are being taken, says Mr. Lordi.
