Here’s What You Need to Know About ESC 2023 This year, the dark rock band Lord Of The Lost from Hamburg won Germany’s national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. Their victory on March 3rd was largely due to the public vote, which, along with the jury votes, accounts for 50% of the total score. With their song “Blood & Glitter,” frontman Chris Harms and his group will represent Germany on May 13 at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, United Kingdom, at ESC 2023.
“It's really hard to grasp that this is actually happening.”
– Chris Harms commented after the announcement of the results.
Here’s the music video for “Blood & Glitter,” the song with which Germany will compete at this year’s ESC:
The song is from their latest album also titled BLOOD & GLITTER, which was released on December 30, 2022.

Following their success in the national selection, the band appeared on a talk show on NDR to introduce themselves further. They even shook hands with King Charles III, as shown on their Instagram channels. Lord Of The Lost has since arrived in the UK and are rehearsing vigorously for their big performance next Saturday. This year, there’s a chance for a win from the alternative music scene!
