Following the Eurovision motto UNITED BY MUSIC, two years after joining the family as 2023 finalists, LORD OF THE LOST return to the Grand Prix spirit, this time by teaming up with Finnish rap artist and Eurovision fellow KÄÄRIJÄ for the song Raveyard. Blending the supportive energy of the world’s biggest music event with a daringly fresh soundscape, the collaboration marks the explosive first single off LORD OF THE LOST’s upcoming studio album, OPVS NOIR Vol. 2, out December 12, 2025, via Napalm Records.
In 2023, the Hamburg-based band released a playful rendition of KÄÄRIJÄ’s hit Cha Cha Cha on their covers album Weapons Of Mass Seduction, later performing it live to the delight of fans, especially in Finland. Now, LORD OF THE LOST and Eurovision runner-up KÄÄRIJÄ finally unite in a common piece of music: a fierce, darkly twisted party anthem that still carries the unmistakable soundscapes of LORD OF THE LOST. Following OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 – the opening chapter of their ambitious album trilogy released this past August – the band continues to push boundaries, showcasing once again their unrivalled versatility with its second installment, OPVS NOIR Vol. 2.
Chris Harms about Raveyard: “KÄÄRIJÄ was our band’s internal Eurovision favorite in 2023. We embraced the Eurovision motto UNITED BY MUSIC not only during the contest itself, but also beyond. Our friendship with KÄÄRIJÄ is rooted in the fact that both he and LORD OF THE LOST are constantly dancing between genres — a spirit that shines through in the stylistic rollercoaster of ‘Raveyard’!”
