Ascendence is the second album by the Australian heavy metal band Lord.

It was released on 4 September 2007 by the Melbourne label Modern Invasion and in Japan by Soundholic.

In January 2007 Lord Tim started a thread on the band's online forum[2] that detailed the writing and recording process, also revealing that the artwork for the album had already been completed, by the Colombian artist Felipe Machado Franco.

The pop singer Tania Moran recorded backing vocals for several songs and guest musicians Chris Brooks and Mark Furtner added guitar solos in four tracks.

On the Australian release, it is a cover version of a song that originally appeared on the Pantera tribute album The Art of Shredding: A Tribute to Dime, but has since been entirely remixed.
