Lord of the Lost : Opus Noir Vol 2 - CD
Ref: 24812
In digisleeve. LOTL continue their opulent musical journey with OPVS NOIR Vol. 2. Once again produced by frontman Chris Harms at the historic Chameleon Studios in Hamburg, the album is another rousing testament to the sextet's unbroken versatility. The darkly catchy opening track “The Fall from Grace” immediately demonstrates LORD OF THE LOST's knack for weaving ballroom choruses with grave melodies – a skill that reigns supreme over all the songs until the final note of the album's closing ballad “Sharp Edges.” LOTL is joined by scene favorits and exceptional artists from a wide variety of genres. Whether it's Lena Scissorhands from INFECTED RAIN or Anna Brunner from LEAGUE OF DISTORTION, who gives you goosebumps in her duet with Chris Harms: every talent here is an important scene in the darkly colorful film for the ears that is the world of OPVS NOIR. Unexpected yet fittingly, Finnish rapper KÄÄRIJÄ, runner-up in Eurovision 2023, turns the “Raveyard” into a dance floor with a mélange of industrial, gothic, and rap in Finnish—as if heralding the dawn of a new genre! However, the most moving collaboration on OPVS NOIR Vol. 2 is the rousing “What have we become,” in which electronic artist IAMX and Chris Harms come together for a cathartic duet. Tracks: 01 The Fall from Grace 02 Would you walk with Me through Hell? (& Infected Rain) 03 One of us will be next 04 Walls of Eden 05 Raveyard (feat.Käärijä) 06 The last Star 07 What have we become (feat.IAMX) 08 Winter's dying Heart 09 Scarlight 10 Please break the Silence (feat.
