Germany’s #1 Charting Metal Leaders LORD OF THE LOST Announce First USA Performances in Over a Decade

Witness the Eurovision Finalists Headlining in New York City and Los Angeles Next September!

First Covers Album, ‘Weapons Of Mass Seduction’, out December 29, 2023

Pre-Order NOW

LORD OF THE LOST will embrace North American fans with their refreshing blend of electrified gothic metal and pop-injected heavy rock at two headline performances – the first taking place on Saturday, September 14, 2024 at New York City’s Irving Plaza (TICKETS), and the second on Friday, September 27, 2024 at The Roxy in Los Angeles, CA (TICKETS). Tickets for both dates will go on sale this Friday, December 15 at 10am PT/1pm ET. Don’t wait – these shows are poised to sell out!

These performance dates follow the band’s recently announced early 2024 appearance on the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise, departing Miami, FL on January 29.

LORD OF THE LOST frontman Chris Harms on returning to the USA:

“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 70,000 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!”

But that’s not all – LORD OF THE LOST are currently touring Europe while gearing up to release their very first covers album, ‘Weapons Of Mass Seduction’, out December 29 via Napalm Records. The exciting new offering features the band’s fresh take on many genre-blending anthems from different eras and genres. 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.

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.”

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.
