Lord of the Lost team up with Saltatio Mortis for new single, “I’m A Diamond”
Lord of the Lost extend their latest journey with yet another innovative collaboration, coming in the shining form of I’m A Diamond. For the latest single leading up to “OPVS NOIR Vol. 3”, which releases on the 10th April 2026 via Napalm Records, the genre-defying band teams up with German medieval metal torchbearers Saltatio Mortis. Featuring singer Alea, Lord of the Lost present a catchy song reminding us of our own worth and encouraging everyone to live true to themselves. Although the finale of “"OPUS NOIR” is the most out of the box of the trilogy, the Hamburg-based band sticks to their core values: “Don’t change yourself to fit the system.”

Chris Harms about “I’m A Diamond”:
“A song together with Saltatio Mortis was long overdue. Our bands have been connected for ages, and Alea and I share a deep friendship. That makes it even more special to be singing such a personal and important song together.”
Alea (Saltatio Mortis) adds:
“What does our song ‘I’m a Diamond’ mean to me? It’s about how we’re all valuable in our purest form. It’s not about what others see in you or how the world wants you to be—it’s about who you are. What you are. A unique diamond.”
