Chris Harms, known as frontman for German band Lord of the Lost, has continued his solo releases by announcing the arrival of Aporia, out on January 22, 2027, via Napalm Records. The date also marks his birthday, which coincides with the “personal nature” of the new album.

Aporia will be available in various physical formats, including a limited box set featuring a special bonus CD in digisleeve format.

With his solo debut, 1980, released in February 2025, the Hamburg-based musician, producer, and songwriter brought a long-cherished dream of producing an album entirely with 80’s gear to life. Aporia builds on that foundation, “exploring more modern electronics, eclectic soundscapes, and synth-driven realms beyond his main band’s sound.”

Alongside the announcement, Harms has unveiled “Find What You Love And Let It Kill You”, a track that “explores how true passion can come at a price, a blazing fire that might ultimately consume you.” The track is out now.

Aporia is the first record Harms Produced in his new rooms at Boogie Park Studios in Hamburg, following his move from Chameleon Studios, after several years there, in Spring of 2026.

The album title originates from the Ancient Greek word “ἀπορία,” which describes “dealing with an unresolvable problem.” In philosophy and rhetoric, it refers to “a moment when reasoning seems to hit an impassable barrier; a kind of deliberate, thought-provoking uncertainty.” The album artwork, created by VDPictures, features a Penrose Triangle, an optical illusion that defies conventional geometry.
