The pioneering electronic dance act Lords Of Acid are back with their first new music in 8 years. ‘Karaoke Superstar’ sees them in full theatrical mode with what is a hyper-sexual, tongue-in-cheek, neon-drenched industrial, metal, acid dance anthem inspired by Japanese game show chaos, underground fetish culture and the absurdity of pop stardom.
Featuring a guest vocal by hit-making US vocalist and DJ Princess Superstar, the track fuses aggressive EBM-style sequencing with playful call-and-response hooks, mixing dark club energy with ironic theatrical excess. Part satire, part dancefloor weapon, it is intentionally over-the-top via a unique collision of cultures (European industrial roots, Japanese pop references, metal drums and guitars) and production aesthetics that are all wrapped up with the group’s unmistakable provocative edge.
‘Karaoke Superstar’ is the first in a series of singles to be released ahead of a long-awaited seventh Lords Of Acid album in late 2026. Further notable guest vocalists will appear, although the majority of songs feature the powerhouse voice of the reigning ‘Acid Queen’, Carla Harvey. Also renowned for her commanding stage presence, the distinctive US singer joined the group in early 2025. She was previously in the metal band Butcher Babies.
Lords Of Acid have maintained an intensive live schedule and will tour the US in spring 2026. Date and ticket info can be found HERE.
LORDS OF ACID biography
Formed in Antwerp, Belgium in 1988, Lords Of Acid are recognised as one of the most influential acts to emerge from the hard-edged electronic dance music scene of that era. Adopting and adapting underground club culture aesthetics fom the off, they blended techno, acid house and industrial music with provocative lyrics on themes of sexuality, drug use and hedonism. Debuting with the classic New Beat single ‘I Sit On Acid’, their debut album ‘Lust’ appeared in 1991 and was followed periodically by further releases that saw the group become a staple of the Billboard dance and alternative charts. Having built a substantial global following while maintaining a multi-decade touring career, Lords Of Acid remain one of their genre’s most recognisable and enduring names.
