Lord of the Lost : Antagony 10th Anniversary Editi
Ref: 22710
First limited edition in DIGIPAK LORD OF THE LOST deliberately played with contrasts with their second album "Antagony" (Out of Line, 2011). The lyrically intensely autobiographical work by Chris Harms is still an important milestone for the band today. Above all, it was incredibly important "because it was damn brave for a second album. It showed from the beginning that LOTL don't repeat them- selves from album to album", Chris sums up. They continued their metallic dark rock power but overturned the "textbook dark rock band" tag, refining their style with Gared Dirge's nimble piano fingers. "Antagony" emphatically grants an intimate glimpse into the psyche of the band's founder's past: " I somehow associate a lot of loneliness with this album. Although I wasn't lonely at all back then, in any relationship. But this feeling rises up in me when I think of the album." The re-release on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of "Antagony" shows how intense a song by LORD OF THE LOST sounds with acoustic piano accompaniment: "Love is not enough" in the piano version emphasizes the emotional side of the band and can be found among other fantastic extras on the second CD of the re-release. The "Philiae Demo 2002" of the iconic, rousing "Revelation 13:18" allows the listeners to jump back in time and get an impression of how a song can develop over the years. After all, Chris wrote the original version at the age of only 17! The unique Lady Gaga cover of "Bad Romance" (for Chris one of the "best written songs ever") is completed by seven instrumental versions of "Antagony" tracks. They show the musically sophisticated sound spectrum of LORD OF THE LOST. The effect of "Antagony" is unbroken even after ten years and can easily be seen as a timeless T racks CD1 : 01 Preludium_ About Love, Death & the Devil 02 We are the Lost 03 Sex on Legs 04 Fragmenting Facade 05 Prison 06 Epiphany 07 Love is not enough 08 Antagony 09 From the Cradle to the Grave 10 Undead or Alive 11 Son of the Dawn 12 Inferior 13 Seven Days of Anavrin 14 Revelation 15 Reprise_ Sober CD2 [exclusive to this Anniversary Edition!] : 01 Reveleation 02 Bad Romance 03 Love is not enough (Piano Version) 04 We are the Lost (Instrumental Version) 05 Sex on Legs (Instrumental Version) 06 Prison (Instrumental Version) 07 Epiphany (Instrumental Version) 08 Love is not enough (Instrumental Version) 09 Antagony (Instrumental Version) 10 Undead or Alive (Instrumental Version)
