German genre-fluid visionaries Lord Of The Lost set free another visually stunning piece of art with the impressive music video for their third single "The Gospel Of Judas", cut from their brand new double album Judas, to be unveiled this Friday, 2 July, via Napalm Records on various formats.
On their new offering Judas, Lord Of The Lost draw the listener into a conflict that has lasted for thousands of centuries and is as old as mankind itself: The conflict between good and evil. On Judas, Lord Of The Lost tell of this conflict from the perception of the character of Judas Iskarioth, known as highly diverse, and the so-called Gospel Of Judas, a paper that's said to consist of conversations between Jesus Christ and Judas Iskarioth and casts a different light on religious history as it's told in the Bible's New Testament.
Lord Of The Lost on Judas: "Don't judge a book by its cover. This sentence could hardly apply any better to someone in theological history than to the figure of Judas Iskarioth, who represents only one thing at first glance: Betrayal. If you take a closer look, almost endless possibilities of interpretation open up here: from "Judas the murderer" to "Judas the redeemer" and "Judas the actual martyr", who, if you believe in it, could only find room in hell for his salvific betrayal after dying for what he did, in complete contrast to Jesus Christ. This field of tension and the apocryphal writings of the "Gospel of Judas" are the basis for a double album that not only illuminates the dark and light side of history, but above all the grey areas in between, in which we move emotionally and ideologically throughout our lives and try to find our place."
After releasing the first single "Priest", followed by sophomore "For They Know Not What They Do", the German frontrunners prove their exceptional standing as free spirits and artists once more, far away from any sort of genre boundaries and musical fetters. The new music video for "The Gospel Of Judas" serves as a strong statement against discrimination and oppression of any kind, further illustrating the unit's outspoken support of the LGBTQIA+ community and related hypocrisies in society and religion.
