The band Lord Of The Lost wants to go to the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Great Britain. With the song "Blood & Glitter" they compete in the German preliminary round "Unser Lied für Liverpool" (our Song for Liverpool) on March 3rd.
Lord Of The Lost is a band from Hamburg, Germany, founded in 2009. The band consists of singer and guitarist Chris Harms, guitarist Pi Stoffers, bassist Klaas Helmecke, multi-instrumentalist Gared Dirge and drummer Niklas Kahl. In their long band history, there is only one constant: the courage to change. New facets provide their sound again and again elements of industrial rock, gothic metal, glam, wave and pop.
At home on the road
Live performances belong to Lord Of The Lost like mud to Wacken Open Air or weird costumes to M'era Luna. On the latter, Lord Of The Lost played a concert together with an orchestra last year - as The Lord Of The Lost Ensemble. On their extensive tours, they also regularly perform at festivals. In 2022, they accompanied heavy metal legends Iron Maiden as special guests on 18 shows in 16 countries throughout Europe. This was followed by their own six-week "Homecoming" tour, the biggest and most successful European tour in the band's history.
Of course, an extensive report on this year's Wave-Gotik-Treffen (2022) should not be missing! Several editors were on the road in Leipzig on the Whitsun weekend to report on the shows of acts such as Lacrimosa, Aesthetic Perfection, Welle:Erdball, IAMX, VNV Nation, Gary Numan and Lacrimas Profundere.
