Dark rock outfit Lord Of The Lost captivates with its first single and video, "My Sanctuary", offering a mesmerizing glimpse into its upcoming album, Opvs Noir Vol. 1, set for release on 8 August via Napalm Records.
With "My Sanctuary" and the coming Opvs Noir trilogy, the #1 charting band returns to a much heavier sound. 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".
