Lord of the Lost's newest release not only makes us feels things we really don't want to, but it taps into the very roots of metal – classical with a touch of old school soul. Chris Harms' dark and distinctive voice, melancholy lyrics paired with traditional classical instruments give this soulful song's beauty a rough, clawing edge. "A Splintered Mind" is lyrically driven by a torn apart and desperate protagonist in search of recognition and love.
"It was very important to us that one of the core songs of Swan Songs III gets a video that introduces our entire 14-piece ensemble, because our acoustic excursion, initially planned as a small adventure, has already grown to this size. When we shot the video, the restrictions of the current pandemic had just been decided, so we just managed to shoot this video with our wonderful ensemble. A few days later this would not have been possible anymore. So we hope that this song will bring a little warmth to your heart, in this complicated time."
For all dark metal connoisseurs, this song is an emotional journey you cannot afford to miss.
Swan Songs III will be available in multiple formats on August 7, 2020, including a high-class Earbook, a box set and a 2LP Gatefold Vinyl. The album is a gift to all music fans and marks the next highlight in Lord Of The Lost's musical career. Preorders available HERE.
