Los finlandeses Lordi han reclutado un batería nuevo tras la muerte de Tonmi "Otus" Lillman en febrero. Todavía no han querido desvelar su personaje y de momento lo llamarán "el batería".
Mr. Lordi comentaba al respecto:
"We don´t want to introduce a new character yet, because we feel it is still way too close to the time when our drummer Otus passed away. Making any kind of fuss about a new member would simply be too disrespectful. However, we need a drummer in order to play. And since we are LORDI, no one will ever perform in the band as himself, without a character.
So, the new drummer does have a mask and his costume is more than a t-shirt and jeans, but this is not the outfit of the actual character yet. We could say he is in disguise. The name and the look of the character will be revealed at the same time when the whole band comes out with new costumes and masks. This happens traditionally before a new album comes out."
