LORD OF THE LOST – Weapons Of Mass Seduction Hits #2 On The Official German Album Charts
January 5, 2024, 10 months ago
Ahead of their upcoming USA performances, Lord Of The Lost have debuted at #2 on the Official German Album Charts with their new covers album, Weapons Of Mass Seduction. This news arrives just as label mates Dominum also reached a new benchmark, landing at #18 on the same charts with their debut, Hey Living People.
Lord Of The Lost wrapped up their most successful year so far by releasing their very first full covers album, featuring songs from legendary Michael Jackson, Judas Priest and Billy Idol, among others, on December 29, 2023. Lord Of The Lost’s latest studio album of original songs, Blood & Glitter, was released exactly one year prior and entered the Official German Album Charts at #1, marking just one of many significant highlights for the band in 2023. The band also represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest finals, broke into mainstream media, joined Iron Maiden as special guests on tour for the second time, and performed countless sold-out headline shows. The #2 chart entry is the perfect finish in an exceptional year for the band.
Despite an extremely busy 2023, Lord Of The Lost is continuing full speed ahead into 2024, with their fast-selling “15 Years of Lord Of The Lost” tour kicking off in March. In addition, the band has plenty of big festival shows coming up in the summer and has been confirmed for two dates in the US later in the year.

Chris Harms states:
"With the release of a covers album, we entered the chart week with absolutely no expectations at all. Our main goal in creating this album was to make ourselves happy by playing and recording a selection of our favorite songs by other artists. So, the charts were actually secondary. However, starting the year at #2 on the Official German Album Charts is sensational, phenomenal, and unbelievable! We congratulate our colleague Ikke Hüftgold on his well-deserved #1!"
