German genre-fusing gothic metal/dark rock visionaries Lord Of The Lost are ending 2022 with a big bang, releasing their eighth studio album, Blood & Glitter, virtually overnight on the 30th of December via Napalm Records. Following extensive touring throughout the year, including as a special guest of Iron Maiden, and the great success of their last album, Judas (#2 Official German Album Charts), the band now turns 180 degrees both visually and thematically.
Following their mythologically and theologically influenced previous albums, on Blood & Glitter, the band fully embraces their deeply-rooted love for 70s glam rock visuals and the sound of the 80s and its electronic, goth and new wave musical offshoots, without abandoning relevant metal elements. The album gets straight to the point and goes all the way from start to finish - thus completely bypassing ballads. Blood & Glitter embodies the energy of a Lord Of The Lost live show and can be brought to the stage as a complete work.
Chris Harms on the album release: "In a time when the marketing madness for each album seems to last longer and longer, when half the album - or even more - is already known six months in advance through pre-released singles, so that the high pre-release sales generate the highest possible chart result, what it should actually be about - the pure magic of hearing a new album of your favourite band for the first time - is becoming more and more lost. We want to transport this "like the old days" feeling through this surprise release! Fuck the charts, playlist pitches and 1,000 pointless reviews in advance. What matters is what an album means in the long run, not how high its "value" is on release day."
The band today released the single and video for the album title track "Blood & Glitter". "Blood & Glitter" is 100% Lord Of The Lost. The band once again goes its own way and releases, without much advance, an album that defies all clichés, prejudices, genre norms and conventions, and makes strong statements in terms of content! The video was directed and edited by Matteo vDiva Fabbiani and Chiara Cerami for vdpictures, and you can watch it below. Link
