In 1992, Mr. Lordi founded Lordi as a single endeavour. In 1993, Lordi recorded his debut demo album, “Napalm Market”. The song “Inferno” from the album has a music video, which was created by Mr. Lordi. Mr. Lordi didn’t wear a mask for his performance in the music video, but he applied monster makeup to his pals who had supporting parts. Mr. Lordi had an idea for a group of monsters after the video was finished. Later, “Inferno” appeared on the Finnish compilation album “Rockmurskaa” in 1995. For Finnish Kiss enthusiasts, Mr. Lordi arranged a Kiss cruise from Finland to Sweden in 1996. He introduced musicians Amen and G-Stealer to his music project, Lordi, on the cruise.
