[edit] Guest features

The album features many guest-stars on its tracks: Dee Snider and Jay Jay French from Twisted Sister, Udo Dirkschneider from Accept and Bruce Kulick from KISS. Before the album came out in Finland, there were rumours about other guest-stars to feature on the album, including Sebastian Bach from Skid Row, Alice Cooper, King Diamond, Rob Zombie and other members of KISS (which is Lordi's biggest influence). Only Sebastian Bach and Alice Cooper were really asked to visit the album, but they couldn't make it.
