In just under a month, on April 10, OPVS NOIR Vol. 3, the final part of LORD OF THE LOST's OPVS NOIR album trilogy, will be released. Today, the Hamburg-based band presents another preview in the form of their new single, "My Funeral," which, as usual, cannot be pigeonholed into any genre and embodies the authenticity for which LORD OF THE LOST are appreciated by fans and beyond. The lyrics declare black to be the "happy color" with a dose of irony and define pink as the new colour of mourning, which is visually underlined by the accompanying music video.
With nearly half a million listeners on Spotify, their appearance at the Eurovision final in 2023, followed by a number-one album and international tours with Iron Maiden, LORD OF THE LOST are proving themselves to be one of the most exciting and successful acts on the scene right now. OPVS NOIR Vol. 3 represents the creative peak of a band whose repertoire leaves no room for stagnation. The year started with shows in the USA, Canada, and Australia, and now continues with the upcoming headline tour across Europe. The tour kicks off on Thursday, March 12, in Oslo, Norway.
Chris Harms on "My Funeral":
"The message of the song – that black is our 'happy colour' and that I want my funeral guests to adhere to the 'dress code: pink' – is actually no joke. It's a shame that when I eventually kick the bucket, I'll only be able to attend this pink funeral service lifelessly."

A direct continuation of OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, which were both unveiled in 2025, it gloriously expands on the genre-defying band’s opus. The most out of the box of the three, the third and final part of their latest journey has the six-piece end this chapter of their career on a fulminant high note, intertwining heavy guitars and dark electronica with compassionate messages and cinematic orchestrals.

Following the captivating BLOOD & GLITTER, which brought them to the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and a #1 chart entry in their native Germany to go along with it, LORD OF THE LOST once again demonstrate their unmatched diversity on OPVS NOIR Vol. 3. Initiated by beautiful cello melodies, "Kill The Lights" is an overture like no other, setting a dark mood, but also unafraid to switch it up to make room for catchy and reassuring "I'm A Diamond." Stomping "I Hate People" invites horror punk icon WEDNESDAY 13 to an industrial duet about equality, after which gentle "The Shadows Within" hits twice as hard with its symphonic arrangement. Next, Chris Harms and parting KISSIN’ DYNAMITE frontman Hannes Braun deliver "La Vie Est Hell," before going back to "Square One." "When Did The Love Break?" is a heartfelt song of lost love – the addition of whimsical vocals by Ambre Vourvahis of XANDRIA drives the emotions of this universal topic right home. After "Your Love Is Colder Than Death," LORD OF THE LOST team up with Damien Edwards of British glam rock band CATS IN SPACE for the captivating duet "Take Me Far Away", before the album closes with a ballad, "The Days Of Our Lives" – the sweeping track simultaneously being the closest LORD OF THE LOST have ever been to a cinematic soundtrack. The happy ending is skipped, almost making it sound like a goodbye…
