The very first covers album by Germany’s #1 charting LORD OF THE LOST – honoring favorites by Michael Jackson, Judas Priest, Billy Idol & more!

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 and 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.”

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.

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.

‘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. The unit’s cover of another legendary 80s song, “(I Just) Died In Your Arms”, features a guest appearance from rising singer-songwriter Anica Russo, who also took part in Germany’s ESC 2023 preliminary round Unser Lied für Liverpool (EN: Our Song for Liverpool). An emotional version of The Pretty Reckless’ “House On A Hill” closes ‘Weapons Of Mass Seduction’ with impact.

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.
