Interview with Tuonela magazine with Chris Harms (lead vocalist of Lord of the Lost) " Chris: This is the thing… First of all, this record is not pro- or anti-Christian, or pro- or anti-religious. We don’t try to tell people that Judas was a good guy or to find a new aspect of Christianity. We don’t do that. We don’t tell them the whole Bible thing and Christianity is super bad because Judas is actually the good guy. We’re not doing that, it’s not what it’s about. Of course, we have an agnostic point of view on that kind of matter, so we do not say that there’s a truth in belief or a truth in science. Being agnostic means that you’re open and tolerant with everything and everyone, which actually most people don’t understand. What we find most interesting about it is that Judas, as a character, his role is being so much reduced to just being a traitor. There’s so much more behind it. When we started digging, also in this Gospel of Judas, this epic critical script which got forbidden by the Catholic Church, it was super inspiring to actually see Judas more. If I should explain it to my 10 year old son, I would say that what Batman is for Gotham - sometimes Batman also needs to be the bad guy, he needs to be the scapegoat because Gotham needs it - that is Judas, in this story. What’s so interesting about it is when you start digging, you find so many different point of views in the four gospels, in the Bible, and also in different analysis interpretations that you can read, which go from Judas being a traitor, to Judas the actual Savior. Some theories are so wacky, they also say that Judas and Jesus switched places, and actually Judas died on the cross. There are so many things. That was just super inspiring. We just wanted to reflect in that album on this kind of variety, of that gray area in between, not by telling one story of what Judas does. It’s more like the overall inspiring theme for different kinds of single topics"
"Jesus, he knows me and he knows I'm right" is a little easter egg for Genesis song. Actually Lord of the Lost = easter eggs everywhere in their songs, music videos, etc. There is always something somewhere if someone likes the jigsaw puzzle and paying attention to the details. Anyway, you said it looks like a part of the series so definitely you should check another LOTL video "For They Know Not What They Do" and you'll see why.
Fil, you did a reaction of this band a few series back. The inverted “cross” is actually a J - from their album name Judas. In order to have a “Judas” there will be a “saviour”. There is an extended explanation online.
