Germany’s most rapidly-rising metal success story, Lord Of The Lost, are thrilled to finally announce their highly anticipated return to North American soil. The #1 charting Eurovision finalists – who are currently promoting their first full covers album, “Weapons Of Mass Seduction” (out December 29) – will perform in the USA for the first time in over a decade this coming September 2024.
These headline shows mark the monumental return of one of the most intriguing, innovative and important metal cult phenoms in the international scene today while promising a stellar spectacle that dedicated American fans have anxiously clamored to witness for far too long.
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 10 AM PT / 1 PM 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!”
“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.
