LORD OF THE LOST’s new covers album Weapons Of Mass Seduction reach #2 on the Official German Album Charts!
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!”

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. 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. 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.
