Lord Of The Lost is back with the beautiful darkwave-metal epic, “I Will Die In It”, the second single release from the upcoming new album, “Opvs Noir Vol. 1”, out August 8th, 2025 via Napalm Records!

In the world of Lord Of The Lost, inspiration comes from everywhere, and the #1 charting band has returned to their darker, atmospheric roots after their glamorous “Blood & Glitter” chapter, where the band represented Germany in the 2023 ESC finals and broke into mainstream press. “Opvs Noir Vol. 1” is Lord Of The Lost’s first album of an exciting album trilogy, featuring several strictly limited special editions. Check out the dark music video for “I Will Die In It” below, and pre-order your copy of “Opvs Noir Vol. 1” – better act fast, as the first formats are already selling out!
Chris Harms comments:
“I Will Die In It” is a musical motivational speech to find the strength to pursue happiness that is self-determined and born of one’s own will. No matter the circumstances we were born into or raised in, we all carry the power within us to change our lives and the world around us, to give love and to receive it. At least, this is what I want to believe in – because without that belief, everything would be hopeless.
“I was not born in love, but I will die in it.”
What is the essence of Lord Of The Lost in 2025? That is one of the questions “Opvs Noir Vol. 1” fearlessly begins to answer. Once again, the band proves not only musical excellence but also masterful craftsmanship: produced by Chris Harms, recorded, mixed, and mastered at the legendary Chameleon Studiosin Hamburg, the 11 tracks hit with a force and brilliance that immediately transport us into a dark yet colourful ballroom. From there, the tone is set: Dark Wave Metal on an amphitheater scale.
Chris Harms 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…”
