Voting is open to all German residents, and you can vote once per IP address, meaning you can vote from each of your different devices. Voting ends on March 3rd when the preliminary show starts, which you can then call or text in your vote up to 20 times.
Vocalist/Producer Chris Harms from Lord of the Lost returns to the podcast for a second time fresh off of a #1 album in Germany, and while preparing the band for the German preliminary show for Eurovision. We spent some time catching up and just talking about random things like learning languages, going to shows, growing up with older technology and being nostalgic about music and TV shows, He also shared the band's experience touring with Iron Maiden and how they look forward to doing it again, talked about the unique marketing for their album "Blood and Glitter", and walked me through the process of how they will compete for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Thank you again!!!
Nahhh, the pleasure was all MEIN.
Congrats guys!
Woohoo! See you in Liverpool!
Ist das ein St Pauli hoodie?
I watched with great pleasure, thank you!))
You should invite Chris every year from now on. He is still my favourite guest in your potcast. He is so calm and well spoken.
I really love that about him as well. Lord of the Lost isn't really my thing, I can't even say anything bad about them, they're a good band, just not my favorite. But nonetheless, I've seen countless interviews with them, preferably German ones, because I just like Chris' way with words!
They will be representing Germany at Eurovision this year!
They won the preliminaries!
I could listen to you guys talking FOREVER, such a great conversation.
I'm such a bad german. I didn't even know eurovision was going on, let alone that they are auditioning. Voted immediatly. Maybe I'll actually watch the preliminary thing.
Also as a LGBTQI+ Metal Head and Goth Kid I loved the Blood and Glitter video. Gave me drag show vibes. A lot of times when people from outside that scene try that aesthetic it doesn't go well. They nailed it.
It honestly feels like a queer anthem to me, a celebration of loving yourself
Congrats for winning german ESC decision. Lots of luck in Liverpool... 🤟👏🤟
Bloody hell! I read it here first!
(I knew they entered - but missed the result.)
@@epiendless1128 The jury screwed them, placing them 5th, but the televote gave them a whopping 146 points, more than all but 1 of the other competiters combined. Fun fact, the only member of the jury to give them maxiumum points was someone who was in the nu metal band, Blind Channel, who represented Finland in Eurovision in 2021, coming 6th. It was nailbiting stuff. There was only 1 outcome though, they were the only act that was flawless, had tons of personality & a great song.
@@angelaburrow8114they call themself Violent Pop and it was singer Joel Hokka that gave the 12 points to LOTL.
@@angelaburrow8114 I don't think it was Joel or Blind Channel themselves who gave the points. Joel only announced the points of the Finnish jury. Maybe they were part of the jury, but not them alone.
Please get Chris back on now it's confirmed he's going to Eurovision :D
Very interesting conversation ! Bring him back for more!
The idea that they released the single and then the album the way that they did in part to try to prevent suicides just broke me. I didn't think it would be possible to like Chris more than I already did, but here we are.
Petition for more Chris Harms on this show... 🥰 "Big Daddy" LOL.. even I knew that meant grandfather 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations "Lord of the Lost - Blood and Glitter" for participating in the ESC in Liverpool for Germany.
This is probably my favorite conversation you've had so far. I found the portion about singles to be incredibly interesting, especially with how Spotify has changed the way music is released. The way Chris' mind works is absolutely next level and super impressive
I went to that show last year in Warsaw. It was fantastic. This was first time for me seeing "Lord of the Lost" and it made me to listen to their music, and I enjoy it very much. "Within Temptation" was in Warsaw also. Great performance by all of them.
Randomly discovered Lord of the Lost on TH-cam about two years ago after they popped up on the "watch next" after another video I watched with their M'era Luna gig from 2018. And since then they are one of the bands I listen to the most. Instantly hooked... and I've gotten a few friends hooked on em as well 🤣.
Just wish they would come to southern Sweden some time.
Also, if they win(and lets hope they do) the german Eurovision preliminaries I think they may have a pretty good shot of winning the whole thing. Why? Because all of a sudden there are a whole lot of people across Europe who would not normally watch Eurovision that will suddenly do that, and vote. It worked for Lordii back in who the fuck knows when... mid 2000s or some such. And yeh, maybe I'll also watch Eurovision for the first time since Lordii was there 😂.
//Oh yeah, and the new album has been going on repeat lately 😁
I found Lord of the Lost with Loreley, which I made a wise crack about how it's a staple of Goth bands to have one song by that name. It was Raining Stars that hooked me. Funny that it took me a bit to realize it was the same band. There is just something about Germany for music and thankfully I don't need subtitles for this music. I did start with Rammstien, then Oomph! and then Feuershwanz and I'm slowly picking up on some of it. Heck, I'm Canadian and don't speak French then I moved to the US and no Spanish either. I know some Latin and bit more German.
Now I have one beef with Chris. He did not introduce either cat. Cheers to that! (Oh and my Mother is British so I understand)
A fabulous interview. I love how down to earth and yet so well-informed both of you are. Such vast topics discussed.
When (not if!) you next interview Chris, please ask him to introduce his beautiful cats.
Chris is such a considered Gentleman (in the original meaning of the term) and I hope they can come to Australia one day. Thanx Tank for having him back again as a guest.
Excited to hear you chatting with Chris again. I always find your conversations on this podcast very insightful and it just feels like I'm overhearing a normal chat instead of an interview. Great job! 🤘
Kaunas, Lithuania. Came for Iron's. And it was first time in my Life, the supporting band blew my mind. l become obsessed with the Lord's. I'm absolute Lostie now. Hoping be able to see you in Lord Fest on December. Live long and Prosper🖤🖖🤘
These are so good. Hopefully you can do a third one when LotL has won ESC and blown up to be a stadium headlining band. ;)
Hopefully they don't blow up too much before I get to see them (in a wheelchair and can't see many shows that big). But they will, that's for sure!
February!?!? Oh man, I saw them twice when I lived in Europe, and just assumed I wouldn't see them again now that I'm back in the US. That's so awesome I'll be able to see them here too!!
Thank you. I really enjoyed your conversation.
And as a german I have already voted as much it was possible to do.🖤
great episode - so iron maiden and Tank have something in common - they asked Chris Harms back for a second stint - and imo the track-thing is like to tell a synphonic orchestra they arn't real musicians because they need a conductor aka human clicktracks
YES! They'll rock Liverpool! 🎉
You gotta watch "My Constellation" live at Sinister Summer Stream 😭
That first show with Iron Maiden was in Zagreb, Croatia. I was there and amazed how professionally Chris handled his fall which really looked quite painful. Only heard about LotL then and have been a fan since :)
Lord of the Lost did a cover of Children of the Damned and in the first 20 seconds of the video, you can see Chris tumble over a riser. He later told that due to adrenaline it did not hurt at this moment. He only checked if he has still all his teeth and moved on. After a few days, he put a pic on FB and Insta, where you can see his leg in colorful bruises. But yeah, he was lucky, no broken bones.
I just wanted to be entertained while having breakfast, now I'm 1h too late at work. Anytime again))) I hope, you two guys keep continuing this amazing talk.
As always I really enjoyed that Episode! I love that It's more like a talk between two people on eye Level than an Interview with only Questions and answers.
I am so hyped for LOTL and the whole eurovision thing. I really wish them all the best and am really looking forward to the national final Show.
Thanks (Cheers :D) for this wholesome Episode :)
Got a ticket for September to see LOTR. Will be my first time seeing them. Been a fan for a few years now but not had the chance till now. Really can’t wait as it’s quite a small venue as well.
They are so good at live.
Oooh nice, I've watched the first podcast you did with Chris just earlier this week. It was a really interesting interview and I'm excited for this one!
Love all your podcasts with Chris🖤🖤🖤
Such sweet cats, a little bit distracting, but nice to see some parrot cats. 😉 Thanks for all the informations about Spotify and how an album release works. Never heard of it. And yes, tracks are often very important for the sound of some bands and for me it's totally okay, that they use it. At the same time, I just love it, when bands improvise spontaneously on stage. Like Die Ärzte. It's sooo much fun.
I watched the preliminary yesterday, and I'm happy that LOTL did it. The other great band from the preliminary was Lonely Spring with Misfit. Really nice Punkrock from the good old 2000th times...
I'm watching this the 4th of March and they won and will be in the big show. Best of luck Lord of the Lost
Watching both of your podcasts with Chris, it's absolutely impossible to not like him and his personality!!
Lord of the Lost now representing Germany at Eurovision 🙂
Great Interview ❤
So glad to hear Faithless get a mention and the respect they deserve for an act that sit outside the genre. Worked several of their gigs over the years as FOH security and they're one of the best live acts I've seen. Them, Pendulum and Prodigy are the three dance acts for me that feel like rock bands that just happen to make dance music. RIP Maxi.. truly humble gent and a pleasure to interact with.
Discovered LOTL due to Iron Maiden tour. It was amazing, truly!
Great Interview! So excited to see lotl at the Iron Maiden concert in Dortmund in july. And I voted for them for the ESC, because we all need more 🤘 in our lives
I really love this podcast! I discovered your channel recently and I try to catch up with all the podcast episodes, but as a huge fan of Lord of the Lost I needed to listen to this one immediately. And I appreciate the way you talk to your guest so much! I´ve heard a lot of interviews with Chris lately, because of this whole Eurovision-thing and they all asked the same questions more or less, so I really enjoyed the deep-dive into different topics!
Greetings from Germany!
I found the discussion on how to release an album sooo interesting. I usually buy an album if I really like the pre-release singles, but through your discussion I noticed that I haven't done that as much as I used to in the last year. I also don't listen to whole albums as often anymore because I always feel like I've already heard the whole thing as soon as it's released.
As a prime example, I immediately had to think of the record that Memphis May Fire released last year. I think over the course of a year they pre-released all but 1 or 2 songs from the album as singles. I loved the first few singles and listened to them over and over until I couldn't listen to them anymore, and the more singles came out, the more I lost interest over time. In the end I only listened to the whole album once and didn't buy it after that because the air was already out of the balloon. I wonder if the album was actually a success or not.
I'm really happy for Lord of the Lost now that their release was such a success. I hope this makes labels and bands rethink their current release practices at least a little bit, because I really want to support bands by buying their records. But if I forget about an album before it's even released because I've heard 75% of it beforehand, that doesn't help me or the band.
Thanks Tank for this discussion! I think it is important to explore these topics and therefore I hope you will talk more about them in the future. Keep it up!
@sebomba It's interesting how you say that about not caring about the album because the singles filled your appetite. It is the opposite with me. I find that I *need* to have the whole album even if I have already heard and enjoyed 75% of the album as singles. If I have enjoyed a portion of the album then I am dying to know what that last sliver I haven't heard contains. Maybe my next favorite song is there. And I love it when I listen to an album multiple times. You hear so many nuances that you may not have heard in previous listenings. Eventually, if good, the album becomes like a conversation with an old friend. This is how LOTL albums have become to me.
Wow, these two hours went by really fast!... Great interview again!
Thanks Tank and Cris whas another great conversation. Very relaxing.
Very much looking forward to seeing Lord of the Lost supporting Maiden in Glasgow in June. My second Eurovision act this year - just saw Lordi supporting Sabaton this week!
Amazing! 😊
New uk tour dates, this podcast and new video out friday, what a week!!
Great conversation. Thank you Tank&Chris. Very interesting insights. :)
What a great conversation! I actually never comment videos on yt but this time I just have to. Thx for doing a great podcast man!
Its so fun to listen to you guys. The Cat invasion was also very cute. And something is very clicking with you guys, i could listen for hours. Im so happy they won the pre finals,as someone who listens to Dark Music from the scene in germany man of us are so happy right now.
This would be the second time that Eurovision would be on nation tv in US I believe, I remember watching it around 2016 or so on LOGO network But hasn't been on since.
I think this is the first time for MAJOR network broadcasts. If I remember right, CBS, ABC, NBC, or one of those is airing it.
I suppose I should watch the entire interview, then post once, but I'm breaking it up and watching piecemeal when I have time. So, my comments will be the same. :) That's interesting what you said about Nashville. I was at the same Lorna Shore concert you were, and it was my first show in Nashville (I recently moved to the general area), and I couldn't believe how low energy the crowd was when LS came on. So, really interesting to hear your take on why, I never considered that it was because there is *so* much music in that city that it's different from other smaller cities where any concert coming through is a big deal
Switzerland is even way smaller than Germany and we have so many different dialects where you don‘t even understand each other. Even within different cantons (thats like the states in America or Bundesländer in Germany) there are different dialects. For example myself grew up in the north of the canton Bern and there are words and terms I completely don‘t understand that they are using in the west of the canton Bern - and that‘s only a few kilometers away from each other.
And it‘s true that Swiss-German and Austrian-German are different in certain points. Like compared to Germans we never use the first past tense when we speak.
TELL 'EM, BIG DADDY!
Fabulous conversation, it flowed and I just found myself a cancellation at the Baltic Sea Hotel Resort now Chris and LOTL landed in Liverpool today...just kidding ! Cheers from the UK
Enjoyed this, thanks.
It's unlike me to enjoy watching two people talking for 2 hours, but you're both cool guys who held my minimal attention-span.
really worth watching this instead of just listening because of the Chris/cat interaction 😄💓
Easiliy my favourite person on this podcast, I adore this man so fucking much, good job Tank! 🖤🤘
Great talk! Oh man, yes to the times of recording songs on a vcr
OMG. I wasn't expecting anything substantial. It's long and and (presumably) no music... this is fuckin awesome. I am so enjoying the give and take chat. Wish I could have been there real time
How was Montréal show for you? I wich you felt a warm welcome even with the wild temperature and you had a great show. I was wondering if you were there 😆. Hope you come back with LOTL! Cheer 🤪
Montreal was my favorite show of the three. Crowd was absolutely insane, even though loadout was like -30C or something. Hahaha
Faithless' Insomnia? They were all over MTV's AMP back when MTV still did music videos, so there was some US fanbase. Totally agree on the pandemic & youtube's music influence on music though, it's how I 1st heard LoL's Raining Stars
Great podcast - Thank You for taking the time Chris and Tank!
Packing 16 hrs in advance - that would be too early for me, I couldn't focus on an upcoming journey that far ahead in time. 30-45 mins before I need to leave home is when I usually do my packing. Yes I travel light, very light, mostly just a carry-on bag or a small backpack.
Rednex "Cotton Eye Joe" - Me being from Sweden, I requested that one in a music stream once. One of the comments I got in the chat from an American was that "This is what most Europeans think that American Country Music is about. And they are not wrong."
I've been living in Ireland for almost 20 years now so I have adopted some Irish phrases.
Mr_B_Dublin --- Cheers, Bye Bye.
Now I have to hear Cotten Eye Joe. Thx for the Ohrwurm...

Thank you Tank and Chris for this great conversation! Chester Bennington of Linkin Park has died from suicide in 2017. (sorry i have to say this because i could relate to him so badly). Within tempation and lord of the lost are great! I hope they do something in music together sometime. Blood and glitter was a happy surprise!❤ I hope they gonna win!
I'm so stoked for Feb. 2024! Maybe I'll end up as one of the "first row" people but for LOTL. But poor Chris has to cancel is Baltic vacation now, he and the guys must represent Germany in Liverpool! This was a great conversation to listen to, I felt like I was joining you for a great dinner party but with more male anatomy and cats.
No, they went straight to the hotel. They said.
Great podcast! Have to try to vote using VPN. :)
A good artist to interview in this type of music is Daniel Graves with his project of Aesthetic Perfection. He’s worked in the likes of Rammstein, (Till and Richard), Black Veil Brides (Jinxx), and Sebastian Svalland 🙂
Listening to you talk about old phones and TVs makes me feel old at age 30
The song "One day everything will be okay" helped me a lot. He just saying there things i think myself. Have i have the right to say things are bad.
Well. This is Chris 💚💚💚
Yes, he is a really nice person. 🤗
Oh my God, Chris is a fan of South Park :D
I was so excited when they announced the new album, I couldn't believed it. it was like Christmas for. well I mean it was on Christmas but you know I just couldn't help but buy it. And I waited until I hold the album on my than sat down and just listened to It track by track and reading the lyrics in the book.
It was just great
This is these content on your channel keep it up
Good to know for all Lord of the Lost fans around the world. For the first time, you can participate via online voting. You can vote on Saturday, May 13, 2023, because for the first time, viewers who are not from the participating countries can also vote. From now on, their votes will be added as a so-called "rest of the world" vote or 38th audience vote - which means that the audience vote, with just under 50.6 percent, has slightly more voting power than the jury vote, because there is no jury representation from non-participating countries.
This was like listening in on a conversation between two new friends!
Tank, if you want to get an idea of the level of superstar Robbie Williams was, here's a link.
And no, that isn't a festival, they were all there to see him. 3 nights in a row, with a total of 375.000 people.

I've always thought that Eurovision is not interesting for Americans. Nice to see one of them in your Podcast. Or on your YT Channel. And i didn't know Lord of the Lost. But how can you know every Metal Band.. living in Austria. I guess most of the Nightwish Fans do know that there is no Orchester behind the Curtain or Stage. LOL.
Have you heard the new Insomnium album "Anno 1696"? It is sooooooo good and i'd love to see you react to that🤟🖤
It was Zagreb, Croatia 22.5.2022.
Great interview and I love that LotL will represent us in Liverpool. I think the biggest mistake with the American Song Contest is that it's all about the USA. It feels like stereotypical behavior. The goal of the Song Contest has always been to bring together different countries and cultures. Many also think that it is a purely European contest. But that's not quite true. Any country that is a member of the European Broadcast Union can participate in the contest. In addition, there are countries outside Europe that have been supporting the contest for many years. This is the reason why Australia, for example, can participate. It is 7 am on a Sunday in Australia when the Song Contest takes place in Europe and for so many years there have been huge ESC parties in the country. And that's the point I want to make. The American Song Contest would be an American Song Contest if the USA would compete against other countries in North- and South America. That would bring together all the different countries, cultures and styles of music. You would find everything in this contest, from newcomers to big stars in the respective countries. That would be a contest I would watch.
passport? are you going to germany with powerwolf when they head back there for a bit in the middle of the tour?
❤❤
You already know that you can vote for Lord Of The Lost at the ESC in May this year? This year there is a new "Rest of the world" vote.
Also: they won
Patty Gurdy got my vote for the ESC. I just cant get along with Lotl but still better than the rest Germany can vote for.
Why don't you get along with LOTL, if I may ask :-) ? Do you mean musically or something else ?
Fair enough. Patty is a fantastic artist.
@@ladytakarazuka It`s the whole package.
@@Daniel-Deveraux Thanks for your reply :-)
@@ladytakarazuka But Patty didn't hit the right notes. Besides, it would have sounded too Irish for abroad. Although the hurdy-gurdy was also common in Germany.
This was a great interview.
One of my favourite insults is Pappnase (literally paper/cardboard nose) for a stupid, naive person. It's rather mild and people wouldn't really get offended.
It's a bit surreal to me to listen to your childhood experiences 😅
Is not grand kind of groß
Chris said crazy in Hebrew?
Meschugge is commonly used in German! Actually used it just yesterday and thought about how interesting languages are. There's actually a lot of jiddish words that are also part of German vocabulary. Like Schlamassel and Macke.
Chris thought that Simpsons were white for years
Tank Poor assessment that all old Metal dudes hate tracks cause they don’t understand how they work.
So your in the camp that says hey the drummer was fired so here’s his drum tracks on a laptop on a stool where the kit used to be
Or like White Wizzard who when I saw them, they don’t have a bass player but they do have a laptop where’s the Bass player should be n they run a bass track
That’s lame
Having some string piece on track cause u have one tune that’s got orchestration (like the goo goo dolls) no one expects an orchestra
Seeing two guys with guitars play n a full band sound comes out (cherub) is like lame
Pay $ to listen to 1/2 the cd is “live”
Take the term Live out n just call it a performance n that solves most of it
Okay, so let's take a band like Powerwolf. Or any band with no bass player, for that matter, cause there's a lot of them nowadays. One of those guitarists has recorded those tracks in the studio. It's not programmed, just for whatever reason they don't want a live bass player in the band and use the tracks that the guitarist has laid down live. How is that an issue?
@@TankTheTech it’s not unless they call it “live”….stop selling tickets for a “live” performance n call it what it is…a performance. That’s my point
Obviously an orchestra played the part but u don’t need an orchestra
EVH played almost all if not all bass on VH records. Y did they put Michael Anthony on stage? Y didn’t they just run a bass tape thennn
I am your age n this though that all Old Metal dudes don’t get it is a load a crap n condescending like the old dudes shitting in track bands
Wolfgang played ever instrument on his 2 albums n he should then go out n play/sing n then have the bass drums n 2nd guitar on a track? U would go pay to see that “live” Performance?
Where does it stop ? Does Wolfgang just put the cd on n lip sync the whole thing
It’s a slippery slope as my 2nd amendment friends say
So it starts a bass track then fuck it and before u know it it’s all on a cd n everyone thinks oh boy they r great but you paid 100$ to hear the cd in your car
Don’t be condescending like the gatekeepers you besmirch
I’m your age n not some old Metallica fan from ‘85 bitching about tracks
Those of us who go to “live” shows who feel cheated what watching 3/4 to 1/2 a band produce a full sound scape are ok to not like it n feel cheated n last time I checked were free to have a that opinion…it doesn’t mean we are all old gatekeeper Metal dudes. Stop generalizing.
You’re a smart guy
