Soundgenerator are reporting that Mr. Lordi, lead singer of this year's Eurovision Song Contest winners, has once again been angered at pictures of the band being taken without their now infamous costumes.

It is clear that with Lordi's pan-European fame, the masks are not just for stage presence but also a means to protect the band's personal and private movements when they are out of the private eye.

Mr. Lordi, who was married in costume this summer is reported as saying: "There must be 17 people in Lordi because there have been so many wrong pictures of people published who are supposed to be in the band".

"At least in Finland, they respect us and don't know who we really are. Our pictures were published just once there so they don't remember who we are and I can go to the supermarket incognito which is good."
