LORD To Release 'Return Of The Tyrant' EP

July 16, 2010

Australian melodic metallers LORD will release a new EP, "Return Of The Tyrant", later in the year.

Commented LORD mainmain Lord Tim: "Anyone who has followed our history knows about DUNGEON, the band that spawned LORD after it dissolved in 2005. DUNGEON had a popular song called 'Tarranno Del Mar' — a fun pirate-themed song that LORD still enjoys playing to this day. We felt it was time to revisit the story and write the next part in the saga.

"The song 'Return Of The Tyrant' is full of piratey singalongs and is nearly ten minutes long, so it's quite an epic! Apart from that, we have some cool cover songs and a whole bunch of cool interpretations of LORD and DUNGEON songs, so there's quite a lot of material for an EP."

LORD has unveiled its latest touring venture, taking the band across Australia once again, including trips to the far north, as well as making their way back to Japan for the second year in a row.

Commented Lord Tim, "We're finally able to announce the tour dates for the rest of the year. This was a logistical nightmare with so many other high-profile acts touring Australia right now,meant that some places we wanted to get to just weren't realistic this time around. This tour will also include our run of shows in Japan with DORO and JADED HEART, which we're extremely excited about."

LORD's latest album, "Set In Stone", was released in the band's home country in late August 2009 via Riot! Entertainment. The cover art was once again created by Felipe Machado Franco, who has previously worked with ICED EARTH, BLAZE BAYLEY and AXEL RUDI PELL, among others.
