11) Lord Of The Lost – OPVS NOIR Vol. 1
Lord of the Lost are set for their new album,OPVS NOIR Vol.1to arrive this Friday (8th), via Napalm Records (pre-orderhere). A first of a three part series, the record will showcase a darker side of the group.
Chris Harms explained:
“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…”
