It's happening!! Get out your swords, power metal band Lord from Sydney will be playing in Hobart!

The story of LORD begins as Dungeon, 16 years ago in the Australian outback. Formed by singer / guitarist Lord Tim, Dungeon rose to the very top of the Australian heavy metal scene with both headlining and supporting tours of Australia alongside the likes of Megadeth, Opeth, Nightwish, Angra, Doro, Destruction, Nevermore, Edguy, Yngwie Malmsteen, Mayhem and more, and international tours with Megadeth, Skylark, Dragonland, Metal Church and Galneryus.

Fast forward to 2005 and Dungeon has returned from their ground-breaking world tour with Megadeth, a long tour which took its toll on the inner workings of the band so much that it split the band in two, prompting Lord Tim to finally put an end to Dungeon's 16 year legacy and reinvent LORD as a legitimate band with fresh and hungry players.

LORD combines the melody of 80s hard rock icons such as Dokken, Harem Scarem and Leatherwolf with the strong traditional metal impact of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and classic Queensryche. This musical melting pot draws its fire from thrash elements such as Slayer, Kreator, Megadeth and old Metallica, and the speed and technicality of power metal's Helloween, Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray.

This diverse range of styles is executed flawlessly by the blistering guitar duo of Lord Tim and Mav Stevens, the fluid yet rock-solid bass work of Andy Dowling and the blinding, double-kick attack of Tim Yatras - an unrelenting metal assault tempered by lush multi-part vocal harmonies and Lord Tim's powerful soaring vocals.
