German genre-fusing visionaries LORD OF THE LOST return in 2022 with a new EP, ‘The Heartbeat of The Devil!’ Out May 6, 2022 via Napalm Records. The EP not only features two versions of its title track, which was first released on the band’s most recent full-length – the conceptual masterpiece ‘JUDAS’ – but three cover songs infusing the band’s free-thinking attitude. 

Chris Harms on “Judas”:

“Lady Gaga has caused me many sleepless nights in the past. That’s meant differently than that may sound at first – her songs stay in my head and stick to my heart, as do few other artists. There they remain, for very long. That’s why it is very exciting to me to interpret such a song vocally myself, always knowing that in today’s world, it’s not impossible for the result to be heard by the original artist herself. Sounds a lot like fanboy action – it actually is.”

On March 30th, 2022, the band released their first cover track from the new EP – a cover of “Judas” by Lady Gaga – an artist that has inspired front-man Chris Harms for many years. LORD OF THE LOST managed to make this song all their own while keeping true to the structures that made this song the infectious track it is. Throw in some retro synthesizers, double bass hits, and a killer combo of clean vocals and harsh screams and you get “Judas” – reborn.

This track truly boasts a unique take on a song many of us have come to know, and sing along to, both willingly and unwillingly at times. The depth of Chris Harms’ voice provides a Gothic-like feel that’s both mysterious and alluring while still keeping the track’s energy at an all time high. With an intense breakdown filled with hammering harsh vocals, this cover becomes just as much of a brain-worm as the original.

LORD OF THE LOST will be joining Metal legends Iron Maiden on their European Tour this coming summer.
