Killection is the tenth studio album by the Finnish rock band Lordi. It was released on 31 January 2020, via AFM Records.[5][6] The band stated that the album is considered a 'fictional compilation' and would contain songs you would normally hear in the early 1970s to mid-1990s.[7][8]

It is the first album to feature Hiisi on bass guitar,[9] following the departure of longtime member OX.[10]
