We actually got whiff of this track as Australia’s Lord announced an album full of cover versions. “To The Moon And Back” is the first single and if it’s anything to go by then the full release should be an enjoyable giggle. There will be a CD with eight tracks, and a 23-song Bandcamp behemoth featuring covers of songs by acts as varied as Iron Maiden, Anthrax, The Police and Kylie Minogue!
You can check out this pop/rock upgrade below, but here’s more information about the album release…
Undercovers Vol. 1 is due out 2 April 2021 on Dominus Records. Bassist Andy explains:
Covers have been a big love of ours since the early days of Dungeon right up to and including now. Over the years in Lord these tracks have ended up on limited edition releases, bonus tracks in isolated parts of the world and other weird and wonderful places. These songs have been scattered over so many different places that even we struggle ourselves to where on earth all of these songs can be found.

While bands around the world continue to navigate these uncertain times, we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to release this collection of cover songs, as well as new recordings, to keep the Lord machine moving while we continue to write new music.
Andy continues:
Undercovers Vol 1 is the first instalment of amassing this ever growing collection of cover tracks that Lord have recorded over the years whether it be in the studio or on the stage. There will be many you’re familiar with and there will also be a few surprises. Of course, we couldn’t help ourselves and decided to record two new cover songs for this release, Savage Garden’s “To the Moon and Back” and Judas Priest’s “Reckless” and we even threw in two covers from LT’s Blackened Angel project. Artwork has been once again created by the talented Tristan Tait and a hand numbered limited edition CD release will celebrate the highlights from Volume 1 of our Undercover journey.
Don’t fancy Patreon? Buy us a one-off beverage!
A day after, and it seems that Savage Garden frontman Darren Hayes caught wind of the cover and rather liked it!
OK – this is fucking great haha! 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. https://t.co/niMJpMBfVp
