German genrefluid visionaries LORD OF THE LOST set free another visually stunning piece of art with the impressive music video for their third single “The Gospel Of Judas”, cut from their brand new double album JUDAS, to be unveiled this Friday!
After releasing the first single “Priest”, followed by sophomore “For They Know Not What They Do” (with nearly a combined 900k views on YouTube), the German frontrunners prove their exceptional standing as free spirits and artists once more, far away from any sort of genre boundaries and musical fetters. The new music video for “The Gospel Of Judas” serves as a strong statement against discrimination and oppression of any kind, further illustrating the unit’s outspoken support of the LGBTQIA+ community and related hypocrisies in society and religion.
Together, all songs on LORD OF THE LOST’s “Magnum Opus” (La Heavy Magazine), JUDAS, form a grand narrative of black and white, good and evil, and loud and quiet, that represent the band’s most innovative and mature record to date!
Pi Stoffers on the video for “The Gospel Of Judas”:
“The biblical figure “Judas Iskarioth” is considered in the conventional narrative of the Bible not only as a traitor, but above all as “the outcast”. Our song “The Gospel Of Judas” is primarily about this designation, but in a social sense rather than a biblical one. While we like to boast about being tolerant, open-minded and individual, it is mainly these people who live out their individual way of loving, believing and looking, who are outcast by society.
Why? Because there is no way to assign these people to a pigeonhole, which people desperately seek in order not to feel disoriented themselves, or to have to question them. However, we would like to question whether it is important at all to be able to categorize people, let alone oneself. The real strength lies in our diversity and individuality. We have recognized that for ourselves as a band. And with “The Gospel Of Judas” we want to remind everyone that one’s own limits only begin where one gives up one’s individuality.”
