Eurovision: Lord of the Lost will represent Germany
Rock band Lord of the Lost has been selected to represent Germany in the upcoming 67th Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place this May in Liverpool.
The Hamburg group, known for extravagant costumes and spectacular performances, emerged victorious in the preliminary round held in Cologne, where eight singers and bands competed against each other.
‘Blood & Glitter’ at ESC
Lord of the Lost was considered the favorite to win the preliminary round. The band’s album “Blood & Glitter” entered the German album charts at No. 1 earlier this year.
The group toured the world with renowned hard rock legend Iron Maiden last year, boosting their global appeal.
An international jury from eight countries awarded half of the points in the preliminary round, while the other half was determined by the public.
Despite receiving only 43 points from the jury and finishing in fifth place, Lord of the Lost won over the public with 146 points, catapulting the band to first place in the overall ranking.
Final ESC moved to UK
Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra won last year’s Eurovision Song Contest final. Traditionally, the winning country hosts the next competition. However, due to the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine, the European Broadcasting Union decided to transfer the final to the United Kingdom.
The ESC final is scheduled for May 13 in Liverpool.
