19th March 2021 0 By Jon Deaux

Pop Royalty, Darren Hayes of multi-hit act Savage Garden recently praised Australian metal band LORD and their latest cover of “To the Moon and Back”, from their forthcoming covers release “Undercovers Vol.1” due out 2 April 2021.

“OK – this is fucking great haha!” pipes the Savage Garden frontman who’s sold 23 million albums alone with Savage Garden, before embarking on a successful solo career. “There exists a corner of the internet where heavy metal and believe it or not ‘savage garden’ fans intersect, and rock band Lord have nailed it.”

Long-running Australian metallers LORD recently announced their new covers album, “Undercovers Vol. 1” due out 2 April 2021 on Dominus Records. “To the Moon and Back” is the first of 23 tracks which will be exclusively available via the bands Bandcamp page along with 2+ hours of podcasting from LT and Andy Dowling talking about the stories from each song. Limited track listings are being released via streaming platforms and on a limited edition hand numbered CD, which is already projected to sell out prior to release date.
