Babez for Breakfast
album by Lordi
Babez for Breakfast is the fifth studio album by the Finnish rock band Lordi, released on 10 September 2010. As is traditional for the band, their costumes were renewed for the release of this album. The album was produced by Michael Wagener. It was the final album to feature both Kita and Awa before their departure from the band.
The first single, "This Is Heavy Metal", was released digitally on 9 August 2010, and physically a week later on 16 August. There were only an estimated 200 physical copies of the single made and it is seen as a rare collector's item amongst Lordi fans.
A limited edition of the album, entitled The Breakfast Box includes bonus merchandise and was released on 18 October 2010.
Recording
The recording of the album started on 16 February 2010 at WireWorld Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The band had 44 demos to choose from, of which 15 made the final cut.

Why this record matters
“Babez for Breakfast” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Babez, Breakfast and album provides the most credible route into that argument.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q318477. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
