Following the announcement of their first US shows in over 10 years, LORD OF THE LOST now announce a highly anticipated full North American tour for fall 2024! The German dark rock unit just hit #2 on the Official German Album Charts with their recent full covers album Weapons Of Mass Seduction, and now they are set to play a total of 11 shows across the US and Canada, starting in Baltimore, MD on September 13 and finishing in San Francisco, CA on September 28.

LORD OF THE LOST will be warming up their North American fans next week, with a performance at 70000 Tons of Metal, the world’s biggest heavy metal cruise, in Miami, FL. Once back in Europe, the band will head out on their already partially sold-out “15 Years of LORD OF THE LOST” tour in March, followed by a yet another busy festival summer at several big rock and metal festivals. Set your alarms now as tickets for LORD OF THE LOST’s US and Canada tour dates go on sale this Friday, January 26!

LORD OF THE LOST state:
“After 10 long years of waiting, we are finally heading back to the United States! It has taken too long – not just for us, but for many, many fans. We are overjoyed that the long wait is finally over, and we are finally returning. A little taste of what’s to come is our participation in the 70000 Tons Of Metal, which starts in Miami. So, at least briefly, we will set foot on US soil. In the fall of 2024, we will finally return for headline shows then!”

A year after the release of their #1 charting album, Blood & Glitter (Official German Album Charts), LORD OF THE LOST returned with covers album, Weapons Of Mass Seduction, released on December 29, 2023 via Napalm Records. The exciting new offering features plenty of genre-crossing tracks and wraps up the busiest year in the band’s history so far.

While the album is entirely composed of covers, Weapons Of Mass Seduction confirms LORD OF THE LOST’s creative ability to make any song their own, and further confirms their innovative status. The covers album comes in various different formats – some containing a second CD with 11 covers that are already released or have been played live. The deluxe boxset includes a third CD with 10 acoustic tracks, exclusively available in this format.

Weapons Of Mass Seduction features a wide range of songs from different eras and genres performed in true LORD OF THE LOST style, all surprisingly fitting for the band and hence forming a cohesive collection of covers. Classic heavy metal track “Turbo Lover”, originally by Judas Priest, meets modern pop hits in songs such as Sia’s “Unstoppable”, Bishop Briggs’ “River” and Zella Day’s “High”. Ultravox’ “Hymn”, followed by Michael Jackson’s legendary “Give In To Me” and Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know”, expand the multifaceted selection even further. With added rougher elements such as heavier vocals, Bronski Beat’s captivating 80s electro pop hit “Smalltown Boy” gets a dark makeover in the hands of LORD OF THE LOST. An emotional version of The Pretty Reckless’ “House On A Hill” closes Weapons Of Mass Seduction impactfully.

A special 2CD edition of the new covers album provides a cross-cut of covers previously released or already covered live over the course of LORD OF THE LOST’s career. Among them are the Roxette cover “The Look” feat. Blümchen – already known from Blood & Glitter – “Children Of The Damned”, a homage to Iron Maiden, with whom LORD OF THE LOST experienced intense times during the last two years, and the cover of the Finnish ESC song “Cha Cha Cha” by Käärijä – sung by Chris Harms completely in Finnish.

LORD OF THE LOST starts the new year with a bang by hitting #2 on the Official German Album Charts with their new covers album Weapons Of Mass Seduction, as label mates DOMINUM reach #18 with their debut Hey Living People! LORD OF THE LOST finished their most successful year so far by releasing their very first full covers album, featuring songs from legendary Michael Jackson, Judas Priest and Billy Idol among others, on December 29, 2023. LORD OF THE LOST’s latest original album Blood & Glitter, released exactly one year prior, entered the Official German Album Charts at #1 early 2023, marking one of many significant highlights for the band, among representing Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest finals, breaking into mainstream media, joining Iron Maiden as special guests on tour for the second time as well as playing countless sold-out headline shows. The #2 chart entry is the perfect finish of an exceptional year for the band.

Despite an extremely busy 2023, LORD OF THE LOST is continuing full speed ahead into 2024, with their fast-selling “15 Years of LORD OF THE LOST” tour kicking off in March. Besides, the band has plenty of big festival shows coming up in the summer and has been confirmed for two dates in the US later in the year. Secure your copy of Weapons Of Mass Seduction now and make sure to get your tickets to the upcoming shows! 

Chris Harms states:         
“With the release of a covers album, we entered the chart week with absolutely no expectations at all. Our main goal was to create this album to make ourselves happy by playing and recording a selection of our favorite songs by other artists. So, the charts were actually secondary. However, starting the year at #2 on the Official German Album Charts is sensational, phenomenal, and unbelievable! We congratulate our colleague Ikke Hüftgold on his well-deserved #1!”

Today, LORD OF THE LOST revealed their covers album, Weapons Of Mass Seduction, wrapping up the band’s most successful year so far! Among other highlights, 2023 has seen LORD OF THE LOST hitting #1 on the official German album charts, representing Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest finals, many sold-out shows, providing tour support to legendary Iron Maiden (once again), and now the release of their first full covers album – exactly one year after the release of #1 album Blood & Glitter.

LORD OF THE LOST does not show any signs of slowing down in 2024 – on top of their fast-selling “15 Years of LORD OF THE LOST” tour that is approaching in spring as well as two dates in the US, the outfit has already been confirmed for several big festival performances. Listen to “Turbo Lover” below, make sure to get your copy of Weapons Of Mass Seduction, and grab your tickets for the upcoming live shows in the new year!

LORD OF THE LOST state:           
“During the production of our last album, Blood & Glitter, while recording our Roxette cover ‘The Look’ in Finland, it had already become clear that we had opened Pandora’s box. The energy and fun of covering the songs of beloved and respected colleagues and idols was something we were determined to continue. So even before the release of Blood & Glitter we started working on this ‘covers album’ project, which for us is the perfect dessert to Blood & Glitter, before we embark on the adventure of reinventing ourselves again for a new studio album.”

Shortly after revealing an exciting new music video for Roxette’s “The Look”, featuring German pop star Blümchen (a.k.a. Jasmin Wagner) as a duet partner, LORD OF THE LOST have unveiled a cover of another legendary 80s classic, Cutting Crew’s “(I Just) Died In Your Arms“!

The new song off of LORD OF THE LOST’s upcoming first full covers album Weapons Of Mass Seduction, out December 29, 2023, features a guest appearance from rising singer-songwriter Anica Russo, who also took part in Germany’s Eurovision Song Contest 2023 preliminary round Unser Lied für Liverpool (EN: Our Song for Liverpool) alongside LORD OF THE LOST. “(I Just) Died In Your Arms”, Featuring Anica Russo, is now available on all streaming services worldwide.

Representing Germany at the ESC finals in May 2023 brought LORD OF THE LOST to the attention of mainstream media across Europe (with features from BILD, The Sun, BBC among others), exposing their artistic universe to much wider audiences, and was one of the main highlights of the band’s most successful year to date – together with the late 2022 release Blood & Glitter, which charted at #1 (Official German Album Charts). Check out the new cover single “(I Just) Died In Your Arms”, featuring Anica Russo, and pre-order your version of Weapons Of Mass Seduction now!        

Chris Harms on “(I Just) Died In Your Arms“:     
“When we heard Anica’s great voice for the first time in the run-up to the German Eurovision preliminary round, we immediately wanted to do a duet with her. Anica was our clear favorite and we are very happy about it, and we are very happy to have realized this wish in our ESC year!”

Anica Russo comments:
“When two completely different worlds come together and something harmonious and unique is created – that’s the magic of music. I am grateful that LORD OF THE LOSTinvited me to be part of their album, in line with the Eurovision motto: United by Music!”

Following their electrifying cover of Billy Idol’s “Shock To The System”, LORD OF THE LOST has unveiled a brand-new official video for their cover of Roxette’s “The Look” – already known from the band’s most successful album to date, Blood & Glitter (2022, #1 German album charts). Now, the song is being re-released on the 2CD special edition – as well as digitally – of the first cover album in the band’s history, Weapons Of Mass Seduction (December 29, 2023).

The energizing cover version and video features none other than German pop singer Blümchen as a duet partner, who has landed numerous top hits and sold millions of records since beginning her career as a teenage star in the 90s. This summer, LORD OF THE LOST once again impressively showcased that they don’t subscribe to any norms and genre boundaries when they performed the song together with Blümchen on the main stage of the legendary Wacken Open Air, following the headlining show of Iron Maiden.

Representing Germany at the ESC finals in May 2023 brought LORD OF THE LOST to the attention of mainstream media across Europe (with features from BILD, The Sun, BBC among others), exposing their artistic universe to much wider audiences, and was one of the main highlights of the band’s most successful year to date. Check out the new official video for “The Look” and pre-order your version of Weapons Of Mass Seduction now!

Chris Harms on “The Look“:      
“Covering this song has been on my bucket list since I was a teenager. But it wasn’t possible until now, because I didn’t want just any singer at my side as a duet partner, but someone to whom Roxette means as much as it did to me from the very beginning. And I found this person in Jasmin, Blümchen. Moreover, without Per Gessle’s songwriting, I wouldn’t be the composer I am today. Our cover of ‘The Look’ is my chance to thank him for that.”

Blümchen (aka Jasmin Wagner) adds:  
“‘The Look’ is our declaration of love to Roxette. Marie Fredriksson has left a huge gap. It’s very nice to be able to honor her in this way and thank her for everything she gave us during her lifetime.”

A year after the release of their successful #1 charting album, Blood & Glitter (Official German Album Charts), LORD OF THE LOST are back with a covers album, Weapons Of Mass Seduction, set to be released on December 29, 2023 via Napalm Records. The exciting new offering features plenty of genre-crossing tracks and wraps up the busiest year in the band’s history so far. In addition to storming the charts with their latest studio album, huge highlights include representing Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool in May, providing direct tour support for Iron Maiden (again!), winning over mainstream media internationally, several sold out headline shows and a summer full of big festival appearances.

While the album is entirely composed of covers, Weapons Of Mass Seduction confirms LORD OF THE LOST’s creative ability to make even unexpected songs their own, and further confirms their status. The covers album comes in various different formats – some of them containing a second CD with 11 covers that are already released or have been played live. The deluxe boxset includes a third CD with 10 acoustic tracks, exclusively available in this format.

LORD OF THE LOST state:           
“During the production of our last album, Blood & Glitter, while recording our Roxette cover ‘The Look’ in Finland, it had already become clear that we had opened Pandora’s box. The energy and fun of covering the songs of beloved and respected colleagues and idols was something we were determined to continue. So even before the release of Blood & Glitter we started working on this ‘covers album’ project, which for us is the perfect dessert to Blood & Glitter, before we embark on the adventure of reinventing ourselves again for a new studio album.”

Weapons Of Mass Seduction features a wide range of songs from different eras and genres performed in true LORD OF THE LOST style, all surprisingly fitting for the band and hence forming a cohesive collection of covers. Classic heavy metal track “Turbo Lover”, originally by Judas Priest, meets modern pop hits in songs such as Sia’s “Unstoppable”, Bishop Briggs’ “River” and Zella Day’s “High”. Ultravox’ “Hymn”, followed by Michael Jackson’s legendary “Give In To Me” and Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know”, expand the multifaceted selection even further. With added rougher elements such as heavier vocals, Bronski Beat’s captivating 80s electro pop hit “Smalltown Boy” gets a dark makeover in the hands of LORD OF THE LOST. An emotional version of The Pretty Reckless’ “House On A Hill” closes Weapons Of Mass Seduction impactfully.

A special 2CD edition of the new covers album provides a cross-cut of covers previously released or already covered live over the course of LORD OF THE LOST’s career. Among them are “Children Of The Damned”, a homage to Iron Maiden, with whom LORD OF THE LOST experienced intense times during the last two years, and the cover of the Finnish ESC song “Cha Cha Cha” by Käärijä – sung by Chris Harms completely in Finnish.
