Lord of The Lost have released their first single, “My Sanctuary”, and its official music video, offering a glimpse into their upcoming full-length album, Opvs Noir Vol. 1, set for release on August 8, 2025 via Napalm Records.
With “My Sanctuary”, and the upcoming Opvs Noir trilogy, the band returns to a much heavier sound compared to their latest work.
The new album is “a work, a transformation, a re-entry into the melancholic self.” It marks Lord of the Lost’s first album as a six-piece band and also the beginning of an album trilogy, available in multiple editions, including limited collector’s items. Each volume contains 11 songs, totaling 33 tracks that not conclude the chapter of Blood & Glitter, but also initiate a return to the “dark core” of the band.
Vocalist Chris Harms says about the new single:
We have 33 songs to choose from, but which one will be the first single to pave the way into a new era and mark the beginning of a trilogy? We chose “My Sanctuary”, which for us is a kind of gateway song that opens the door to the world of OPVS NOIR. It shows that darkness isn’t just about sadness – for many of us, darkness is a life force.
The first album of the trilogy was Produced by Chris Harms, and recorded, mixed, and mastered at Chameleon Studios in Hamburg.
Chris Harms says about the album:
Darkness, melancholy, loneliness – all words that often have negative connotations, that we may associate with danger, sadness and loss, and not without reason. But darkness can also be security, melancholy the warm and sentimental feeling of our memories, and loneliness becomes necessary silence, peace and inner contemplation. OPVS NOIR is a travel guide, or perhaps also a travelogue, through the dark sides of our inner world, which so often move precisely in the area of tension between what we emotionally categorize as positive or negative. And with Vol. 1, all of this is just the beginning of this 3-part journey…
