Lord Of The Lost – reveals first single “My Sanctuary” taken from new album

Genrefluid visionaries LORD OF THE LOST captivate with their first single, “My Sanctuary”, and its official music video, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into their upcoming full-length album, OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, set for release on August 8, 2025 via Napalm Records. 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.

Chris Harms 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.”

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…”
