LORD OF THE LOST goes full opulence with “What Have We Become", the latest single off their upcoming album, OPVS NOIR Vol. 2, out on December 12, 2025 via Napalm Records! Working with exceptional British electronic music artist IAMX, the fearless kings of versatility build an emotional masterpiece in which Chris Harms and IAMX (aka Chris Corner) duet in an exceptionally moving way, significantly expanding LORD OF THE LOST’s vast musical universe yet again.
Following the recent success of their co-headline tour with FEUERSCHWANZ and last month’s UK tour, LORD OF THE LOST are headed towards their very own festival. The next edition of LORDFEST takes place on December 13, 2025 in their native Hamburg’s Sporthalle. Celebrated the day after next week’s album release side by side with PAIN, SETYØURSAILS, and PYOGENESIS, it will be a special release show. The headliner will also be joined by BEYOND THE BLACK for three songs. Next year, the band will tour across the USA, Canada and Australia, before returning to Europe for the recently announced ‘TOVR NOIR 2026’, with shows in 19 countries.
Chris Harms on “What Have We Become”:
“IAMX has been one of my favorite artists for almost 20 years and has been the soundtrack of many significant moments in my life. Chris Corner’s voice and expression are so unique and unmistakable, and the feeling he conveys with every word and every note cried out for a song to be conceived at some point, which was already intended for LORD OF THE LOST and IAMX at its core, in which worlds collide and become one big feeling. The result is ‘What Have We Become’, one of the most moving LORD OF THE LOST songs we have ever produced.”
Check out “What Have We Become” NOW:
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. With OPVS NOIR Vol. 2, another 11 heartfelt songs join the three-part cycle, tying seamlessly into Vol. 1. With OPVS NOIR Vol. 2, the band delves deeper into their melancholic take on unravelling their innermost selves, adding a new hopeful layer to the wonderfully dark panorama already presented in OPVS NOIR Vol. 1.

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.
