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—
