LORD BIOGRAPHY
There are two bands with this name:
(1) LORD is a heavy metal band based in Wollongong, Australia.
LORD began as the solo project of Dungeon’s singer/guitarist and founding member "Lord Tim" Grose. During his time with Dungeon, Grose felt that some of his compositions were either too personal to submit to the band or inappropriate for its style. Eventually these songs made their way on to the appropriately named album A Personal Journey in 2003.
At the end of 2005, Dungeon came to an end and LORD became a bona fide band featuring Grose and drummer Tim Yatras of Dungeon, along with guitarist Mav Stevens and bass player Andrew Dowling from Brisbane metal band Sedition. A Personal Journey was re-mastered and released to mark the occasion.
LORD performed their first show on 31 March 2006. The group launched a national tour within months and supported Queensrÿche, Nevermore, Gamma Ray, Leaves Eyes, Atrocity, Skinless and appeared at the final Metal For The Brain festival all before the end of 2006.
On 23 December, 2006 it was announced that guitarist Maverick Stevens would be leaving the band for personal reasons and would be relocating to the United Kingdom. Shane Linfoot of Sydney band Transcending Mortality filled in as a live guitarist in early 2007 but due to both bands' hectic schedules, LORD agreed it was unfair on Shane to continue to work together, and he was replaced by FROMBEYOND guitarist, Mark Furtner.
LORD has recently completed a full length album, Ascendence, due for release in August, 2007.
