out June 12: Lord

Listen the opening song from Chaos Raining by the Lord, whose newest music comes out on June 12th, 2020. Metal Archives shows that there are at least eight bands listed as Lord, including three from the United States, but this Lord is from Australia and was formed in 2003, and they have a rather active discography, as you can see below, where you will some of the interesting official information about the band.

OFFICIAL INFORMATION: Long-running metallers LORD are pleased to announce that their new EP “Chaos Raining" on June 12th.

Frontman LT explains, “One of the biggest surprises from our last album, Fallen Idols, was the fan reaction to the song ‘Chaos Raining.’ This definitely set the wheels turning on how we could offer a cool package to the people who enjoy it, which was a bit of a challenge in these current COVID-19 locked down times.”

He continues, “What we decided to do was release this as a limited edition 100 copy EP, hand numbered, with fantastic artwork by TRISTAN TAIT, which also includes a 9+ minute long 80s style Extended Mix of the title track, and a newly written and recorded song called ‘A World Insane’ which is a real prog/power banger! We’ve all been long fans of WAYNE JOYNER’s motion graphics work with clips he’s done for METAL CHURCH, DREAM THEATER and AYREON, amongst many others. As most people who follow LORD know, I’m usually our video guy but between the lockdown and the amount of work on my plate right now stopping me from getting into the edit suite, this became the perfect opportunity to work with Wayne, who created an incredible lyric clip for the song.”

Chaos Raining will be available as both a digital release and as a bundle that includes a T-shirt featuring the cover art, and a CD that is hand-numbered and limited to 100 copies only worldwide.

Chaos Raining is taken from the 2019 album “Fallen Idols” which was LORD’s best selling and best reviewed album to date, reaching #20 in the Australian ARIA charts and #2 on the Australian Independent Labels chart.

LORD - Heavy Metal from Wollongong/Sydney, Australia.

Imagine a mix tape of your favourite songs. An open mind to styles, from melodic to extreme. “A good song is a good song, regardless of genre.”

This was the blueprint that LORD adopted right from the start, back when the band was known as DUNGEON and based in the Australian outback.

That open mind and sense of fun, the unashamed goal of doing what feels right, regardless of any trends or expectations is what has taken LORD around the world, playing alongside some of the biggest bands in rock, such as MEGADETH, QUEENSRŸCHE, NIGHTWISH, HELLOWEEN, SAXON and MAYHEM, just to name a few.

Now preparing for their upcoming 2018 release, and most recently returning from appearances at Indonesia’s massive Hammersonic festival, and the prestigious ProgPower USA festival (which was recorded and filmed for a live release), LORD is ready to build on the legacy of their impressive back-catalogue, and write the next page in their long and varied history. “Set our sights beyond the sky, and we’re running wilder than the wind.”
