LORD OF THE LOST Frontman CHRIS HARMS Announces Second Solo Album, 'Aporia'
Архив новостей | Русская версия
Chris Harms, known for his musical versatility and as frontman for German chart-topping band LORD OF THE LOST, continues his solo art with the release of "Aporia", out on January 22, 2027, via Napalm Records. The date also marks his birthday, already giving a hint at the very personal nature of the new full-length.
With his solo debut, "1980", released in February 2025 and entering the Top 10 of the official German album charts, the Hamburg-based musician, producer, and songwriter saw a long-cherished dream of producing an album entirely with 1980s gear finally come to life. "Aporia" builds on that foundation, exploring more modern electronics, eclectic soundscapes, and synth-driven realms beyond his main band's sound.
Alongside the announcement, Harms has unveiled "Find What You Love And Let It Kill You", a track with a dark and evocative atmosphere that explores how true passion can come at a price, a blazing fire that might ultimately consume you. The song is now available for listening here.
"Aporia" will be available in various physical formats, including a limited box set featuring a very special bonus CD in digisleeve format.
"Aporia" is the first record Harms produced in his new rooms at Boogie Park Studios in Hamburg, following his move from Chameleon Studios after several years there in spring 2026. It serves as a melting pot of feelings and emotions, reflected in both its title and album artwork. The album title originates from an Ancient Greek word which describes dealing with an unresolvable problem. In philosophy and rhetoric, it refers to a moment when reasoning seems to hit an impassable barrier; a kind of deliberate, thought-provoking uncertainty. The artwork, created by VDPictures, features a Penrose Triangle, an optical illusion that defies conventional geometry. The title "Aporia" mirrors this sense of paradox and mystery, hinting at an album that embraces ambiguity and challenges listeners to explore the boundaries of perception, much like the impossible object on its cover.
With "Aporia", Chris Harms offers the deepest insight, fully taking the risk of making himself vulnerable in the process. Combined with his distinctive musical approach and signature craftsmanship, this is what transforms the record into a sonic diary and makes it one of the most significant works in his artistic discography.
