Germany's Lord Of The Lost's latest journey comes to a brilliant close: with Opvs Noir Vol. 3, the band announces the finale of their ambitious album trilogy. A direct continuation of Opvs Noir Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, which were both unveiled in 2025, it releases on 10 April on Napalm Records and gloriously expands on the genre-defying band's opus. The most out-of-the-box of the three, the third and final part of their latest voyage brings the six-piece to a triumphant high note, intertwining heavy guitars and dark electronica with compassionate messages and cinematic orchestrals. On Opvs Noir Vol. 3, another 11 enchanting songs extend the Hamburg-based band's colourful repertoire. The final part of the trilogy is released in several editions, among them strictly limited collectables.
The first song unveiled is "I Hate People". Showing yet another side of themselves, Lord Of The Lost team up with Wednesday 13 for the first single off the new record. The stomping industrial metal duo sets off fireworks with its theme of equality that fans love from the band. Lord Of The Lost and Wednesday 13 are aptly starting their joint North American tour on 19 January, playing 16 shows across the USA and Canada, together with The Birthday Massacre (see the dates below).
Opvs Noir Vol. 3 continues to walk Lord Of The Lost's unpredictable journey without settling for the familiar. Rounding off an impressive trilogy, this record takes you by the hand and guides you along your darkest paths.
