wasn't created by over the top costumes and special effects, how would you write up Lordi?

Not a particularly serious group of characters. But it would be amusing if a group of murderous demons tried to make it as rock-stars. Of course the vast majority of their fans believe that the above scenes are not real. Until they get invited to a back-stage party that is. :eg:

Alternatively if I was to use the concepts being worked out in the thread dedicated to group-building an Urban Fantasy setting then a rock band could set out to harvest enough belief to become actual demons. And whenever they went on tour they'd devour any local supernaturals that they could find along the way, just to speed the process along.

Intangible (not versus magic) invisibility (not versus optical recording devices). 45 STR TK affects real world, no range. Transform: Infectious murder (those killed become undead)

I was going to say that this was a summoned monster but perhaps not.

In the current lineup:

Mister Lordi (vocals) is supposedly a half demon half goblin thing
Amen (lead guitar) is an Egyptian mummy
Kita (drums) is an alien gladiator
Ox (bass) is a zombie minotaur
Awa (keyboards) is a vampire with huuuge tracts of land
