LORD OF THE LOST Join Forces With WITHIN TEMPTATION on Powerful New Single ‘Light Can Only Shine In The Darkness’

Two titans of symphonic and gothic metal unite as Germany’s LORD OF THE LOST and Dutch legends WITHIN TEMPTATION release their sweeping collaborative single “Light Can Only Shine In The Darkness.” Taken from LORD OF THE LOST's upcoming album OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, out August 8th, 2025 via Napalm Records, the track is a monumental fusion of theatrical grandeur, cinematic soundscapes, and raw emotional power.

Driven by a haunting piano motif and soaring orchestration, the song builds into a thunderous climax, carried by the commanding vocals of Chris Harms and the unmistakable voice of Sharon den Adel. The dual vocal delivery strikes a compelling balance between despair and triumph, reinforcing the message that even in our darkest moments, there is still the potential for light to break through.

Lyrically, “Light Can Only Shine In The Darkness” is both poetic and universal — a reflection on the struggle to find meaning and strength in a fractured world. The collaboration feels not only natural but necessary, with both bands bringing their signature elements to the table while creating something entirely new.

A towering collaboration between two of modern metal’s most emotive and visionary acts — LORD OF THE LOST and WITHIN TEMPTATION prove that even in the depths of darkness, beauty and brilliance can still rise.
