With “Empyrean”, Lord Of The Lost have created a dystopian Future-Metal-concept album of epic proportions. The new release takes the listener on a captivating science-fiction-odyssey, driven by a furious mix of Gothic Metal, Glam, Electro, Prog and Industrial.
After centuries of gradual self-destruction, humanity embarks on a quest for “Empyrean”, a supposedly perfect world that promises hope for deliverance. With their new space trip, Lord Of The Lost have created their most diverse and ambitious album to date. The group's trademark sound of hard Metal-attacks in a perpetual struggle with darkly melodic parts and a keen hand for catchy melodies remains intact but is enhanced by a dominant electronic foundation, this time around, for which Lord Of The Lost have enlisted Berlin-based Electro-band Formalin as co-producers. Added to the mix are epic choruses in the style of the golden age of Glam Rock, a gripping duet with newcomer Scarlet Dorn in the monolithic rocker “Black Oxide”, harsh Industrial-attacks, cinematic dark soundscapes and Prog-elements, all of which mingle to create an epic work that inexorably pulls the listener into the story. This is aided by the fact that the monumental Dark-Metal-space-opera was given an equally massive sound in Hamburg's renowned Chameleon Studios. The new album from Lord Of The Lost is released as a regular album CD and a deluxe 2CD-edition, featuring the bonus-mini-album “The Final Chapter Of Mankind” which tells the story of “Empyrean” as a condensed sonic adventure. “Empyrean” is also released as a limited fan box set which contains the double disc, plus an exclusive bonus CD with a headphone-3D-mix of the album, an exclusive DVD with the Lord Of The Lost video clips and an exclusive Lord Of The Lost gym bag. The final chapter of mankind has only just begun...
