In just under a month, on April 10, 2026, 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 is 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 color of mourning, which is visually underscored 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 US, Canada, and Australia, and now continues with the upcoming headline tour through 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 color‘ 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.“
