Lord of the Lost tease Next Album with New Single "My Sanctuary"

Lord of the Lost's "New Sanctuary" Music Video

Lord of the Lost have released the first single, “My Sanctuary”, and its official music video, off their upcoming full-length album, OPVS NOIR Vol. 1.

With “My Sanctuary” – and the coming entire OPVS NOIR trilogy as a whole – the #1 charting band returns to a much heavier sound compared to their latest hits. Razor-sharp riffs blend seamlessly with gothic harmonies and orchestral grandeur, while Chris Harms' deep baritone vocals create a sonic sanctuary, inviting listeners to embrace their inner darkness.

A work, a transformation, a re-entry into the melancholic self – OPVS NOIR is in no danger of becoming an offspring of understatement, neither in its title nor in its musical opulence. And rightly so: Not only will it be the first album as a six-piece band, but it also marks the beginning of an album trilogy, available in multiple editions, including, of course, strictly limited collector's items. Each volume contains 11 songs, totaling 33 tracks that not only conclude the eccentric chapter of Blood & Glitter, but also initiate an uncompromising return to the dark core of the band.

Chris Harms said this 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.”

"My Sanctuary" - Lord of the Lost

Once again, Lord of the Lost proves their capability in not only musical excellence but also in masterful craftsmanship. With Chris Harms having produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered at the legendary CHAMELEON STUDIOS in Hamburg. The tone feels like Dark Wave Metal musically crafter on an epic amphitheater scale.

Harms added about the upcoming 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...”

OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 is set for release on August 8, 2025 via Napalm Records.
