In an engaging interview with Chris Harms, frontman of Lord of the Lost, several insights into the band’s creative process and upcoming projects were shared. The band, known for its eclectic blend of goth, industrial rock and metal, recently released two volumes of the OPVS NOIR album series and is gearing up for a third in April 2026. Their music remains distinct yet adaptable, shaped by a deliberate, instinctual approach to both sound and visuals.
A highlight of the conversation centered around the importance of collaboration; Harms emphasized a commitment to working with artists regardless of their fame. In crafting their art, they prioritize authenticity over commercial interest. As they plan for an ambitious North American tour, Harms expressed a longing to replicate the grand theatricality of their European shows, underscoring the logistical challenges of touring.
Harms also touched on the significance of artists addressing social and political issues, advocating for open discourse in a polarized world.
