Less than 24 hours before the release of their upcoming album OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, German gothic metal outfit Lord Of The Lost dropped a final single to get folks hyped for their new offering titled “Bazaar Bizarre”.

Set as the album’s opening track, “Bazaar Bizarre” is a long, winding road of a track. Clocking in a just over six minutes, it’s a hell of a way to express your intent as a band right from the get-go.

Frontman Chris Helms explains what went into this new single and why it’s the right track to introduce listeners to OPVS NOIR Vol. 1.

“‘Bazaar Bizarre’ is too long, too complex, and too weird to be an album opener—almost like a mix between an acoustic hidden-object painting by Hieronymus Bosch, Apocalypse Now, and the underground troll market from the Hellboy universe. Everything hurts and is somehow eerie, but at the same time too fascinating to want to escape.

“We could’ve picked a simple and accessible song to kick things off—but we didn’t want that. We wanted a long cinematic trailer for the ears, one that instantly makes it clear what kind of world all three parts of OPVS NOIR will drag you into. And ‘Bazaar Bizarre’ captures that perfectly—sonically, and in the music video, also visually—covering the full spectrum of our upcoming trilogy.”

OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 is scheduled for release on August 8 via Napalm Records. But you can pre-order it here.
