Lord of the Lost
OPVS NOIR Vol. 2
A collective of fate on their journey through the own abyss – LORD OF THE LOST unveil OPVS NOIR
Vol. 2
LORD OF THE LOST extends their opulent musical journey with OPVS NOIR Vol. 2. The continuation of
OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, which was unveiled in the summer, releases on December 12, 2025 and delves
deeper into their melancholic take on unravelling their innermost selves. With the second part of the
trilogy, the six-piece adds new a hopeful layer to the wonderfully dark panorama already presented in
OPVS NOIR Vol. 1.
Following their enchantingly colorful BLOOD & GLITTER, which earned them participation in the final
of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and a #1 chart entry in their native Germany, LORD OF THE LOST
reinvent themselves yet again. With OPVS NOIR Vol. 2, another 11 heartfelt songs join the three-part
cycle, tying seamlessly into Vol. 1. Once again produced by frontman Chris Harms in the historic
Chameleon Studios, it is yet another stirring example of the Hamburg-based band’s unparalleled
versatility. Opening with dark yet catchy “The Fall From Grace”, LORD OF THE LOST immediately
showcases their way with grand ballroom choruses weaved into grave melodies that will continue to
sit enthroned on all the varied tracks until the last note of the ballad “Sharp Edges”.
Joining in are guests ranging from scene favorites to top-tier musicians outside the metal genre. First
up is INFECTED RAIN’s Lena Scissorhands, who refines the pitch-black “Would You Walk With Me
Through Hell?” with the full range of her fierce, yet fragile vocals. Similarly, Anna Brunner of rising
melodic metal stars LEAGUE OF DISTORTION and symphonic metal band EXIT EDEN lends her
energetic voice to “Please Break The Silence”, inducing goosebumps – every talent is an important
scene in OPVS NOIR’s grimly colorful movie for the ears. Unexpected, yet fittingly, Finnish rap artist
KÄÄRIJÄ, runner-up at Eurovision 2023, turns “Raveyard” into a dancefloor with a mix of industrial,
gothic, and Finnish rap—
