Band information

LORD supporting Saxon, 2008

LORD began as a solo project for Dungeon singer and guitarist Lord Tim. The material on the first album is 80s inspired heavy rock and metal and features backing vocals from Dungeon's Stu Marshall. Ex-Dungeon member Justin Sayers provided some bass tracks and Gustav Hoffman supplied some keyboard parts.

After the decision was made to abandon the use of the Dungeon name with the departure of two of the band's key members in late 2005, LORD became a full-fledged band. Yatras was also from Dungeon. LORD began playing live in early 2006 and within months were touring nationally. The band supported Queensrÿche nationally in July 2006 and also appeared with Nightwish and Atrocity. LORD then supported Nevermore in November at the Festival of the Dead, along with appearing at Metal for the Brain the same afternoon.

Guitarist Mav Stevens left LORD in December 2006. Shane Linfoot from Transcending Mortality filled in for some touring commitments in early 2007 but he was replaced by Mark Furtner of FromBeyond. Furtner and Chris Brooks make guest appearances on the band's debut album Ascendence.

LORD toured the east coast with Saxon in May 2008. A limited edition EP entitled "Hear No Evil" was released on October 31, ahead of a new album in 2009 that will feature a slew of special guests.
