That’s how it was with LORD OF THE LOST
Vienna, Simm City – 19.04.2024
Hell Boulevard
Hell Boulevard got off to a brilliant start. With an energetic show, the quartet swept across the stage and carried the audience away. Songs such as “Zero Fucks Given”, “Dead Valentine” and “Satan in Wonderland” had the audience dancing and singing along. After six songs, the band unfortunately said goodbye and left a lasting impression. After such a fantastic performance, Hell Boulevard’sset could have gone on for a few more songs. After their concert, the likeable musicians could be spotted near the merch stand, where they got close to the fans, signed autographs and were available for photos.
The Raven Age
With sophisticated riffs, clever solos and vocal power, The Raven Age dominated the stage as the second act. The artists around founding member George Harris (son of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris) shone with rousing rhythms and speed, as well as diverse clean vocals. The Brits warmed up the audience for Lord of the Lost with an absolutely well-rounded set.
Lord of the Lost
When the guys from Lord of the Lost storm the stage, one thing happens above all: they spark off a huge party. And this was exactly the motto of the concert on Friday evening. Lord of the Lost celebrated their 15th anniversary with this tour. In recent years, the band from Hamburg have caused quite a stir, and although the band has been sweeping the stages for 15 years, the – now six – artists are bursting with energy. They proudly introduced their new band member Benjamin “Benji” Mundigler (Scarlet Dorn).
Already during the first songs, hair was whipping wildly through the audience. The atmosphere was boiling over. The musicians not only knew how to inspire the audience. -They also delighted the photographers by posing and grimacing. The audience eagerly sang along to songs such as “Sex on Legs”, “Six Feet Underground” and “Loreley”.
Singer Chris Harms showed his gratitude between songs. He enjoyed such a colorful, black audience that remained loyal despite the band’s constant experiments and indulged in being different, whereupon Chris received applause after every sentence. After their ESC hit “Blood and Glitter”, the musicians left the stage and left Chris Harms alone with his guitar, where he performed “Lighthouse” solo. The band continued the encore set without interruption. “Anyone who was planning to leave before the encores is unfortunately two numbers too late,” announced the likeable singer. The musicians refrained from paying homage, as they themselves emphasized. Two cover versions followed with “Unstoppable” and “Bad Romance” before they said goodbye with “One Last Song” after a concert lasting around two hours.
Sweaty and happy, the audience set off to take a photo or two with the two support acts and let the concert reverberate a little longer. In conclusion, all that remains to be said is that it was a fantastic evening that was simply great fun.
