German dark metal visionaries LORD OF THE LOST return with Winter’s Dying Heart, the latest single taken from their upcoming album OPVS NOIR Vol. 2, set for release on December 12th, 2025 via Napalm Records. Steeped in the band’s signature blend of melancholy, cinematic scale, and gothic grandeur, the track stands as one of their most emotionally resonant works — a chilling ode to fading warmth, isolation, and the slow collapse of light into shadow.
Musically, Winter’s Dying Heart brings together somber melodies, sweeping orchestral elements, and a powerful vocal performance that balances vulnerability with commanding presence. Layers of atmospheric textures, brooding rhythms, and elegant darkness guide the track, capturing LORD OF THE LOST’s ability to turn bleakness into something beautiful and vast.
The official video embraces an entirely animated format, unfolding like a dark fairytale steeped in winter’s decay. Moody, hand-crafted visuals portray barren landscapes, fractured memories, and symbolic figures drifting through cold, dreamlike worlds. The animation amplifies the song’s emotional pull, framing its themes through striking imagery that feels both fantastical and deeply human.
With Winter’s Dying Heart, LORD OF THE LOST continue to expand the visual and sonic universe of OPVS NOIR Vol. 2, reaffirming their place as one of modern dark metal’s most ambitious and artistically fearless bands.
