Exactly one year after the release of their game changing #1 charting album, “Blood & Glitter” (Official German Album Charts), Lord Of The Lost are back with their first ever covers album, “Weapons Of Mass Seduction”, set to be released on December 29, 2023 via Napalm Records.
“Weapons Of Mass Seduction” features plenty of genre-crossing tracks and wraps up the busiest and most successful year in the band’s history so far. In addition to storming the charts with their latest studio album, being invited by the legendary Iron Maiden as special guest on their European tour (again!), numerous sold-out headline shows, and opening gigs for Powerwolf and Amon Amarth, the band represented Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest Finals in Liverpool in May of this year. Lord Of The Lost made it clear once again that they do not limit themselves when it comes to genre norms and influences.
Today, the band unveils the opening track of their upcoming offering, an electrifying cover of Billy Idol’s “Shock To The System”. The song arrives with a perfectly fitting music video, underlining its attitude the best possible way.
Chris Harms says about the single: “I remember exactly when I heard this song for the first time. I was 13 years old, it was summer and I was sitting in the back of the Opel Manta convertible in which I drove to the open-air pool with my older sister and her boyfriend. Rarely has the energy of a single song gripped me so much. We’d like to give a little bit of that energy back with our tribute to Billy Idol and this song through our cover and accompanying video.”
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 box-set includes a third CD with 10 acoustic tracks, exclusively available in this format.
