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. Unexpectedly, 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—as if heralding the dawn of a new genre. The most moving collaboration is the opulent “What Have We Become”, in which experimental artist IAMX meets Chris Harms for a cathartic duet.
Completely fearless, Lord Of The Lost have long since playfully risen above genre conventions and expectations. “Opvs Noir Vol. 2” mercilessly opens new doors in the band’s musical palace, yet still feels 100% at home for fans from the very beginning!
