Lord of the Lost – Opvs Noir Vol. 3 Review By ClarkKentWith 33 songs and over two hours of music, Lord of the Lost has written an ambitious trilogy, mercifully spread across eight months rather than released all at once. On Opvs Noir, the band leans into the darker, more gothic aspects of their pop-infused metal, bringing plenty of guest collaborators aboard to keep things spicy. The first two volumes of this opvs have proven a success, with creative instrumentation and an affecting performance from frontman Chris Harms. The question is whether Lord of the Lost can keep up the momentum across another 11 tracks on Vol. 3. The finale of an ambitious project such as this can often feel bittersweet, as it marks the end of something you have (hopefully) come to love, or, like the finales to the Mission Impossible series or Daniel Craig’s James Bond run, it can just be plain disappointing.
Unlike the more energetic, sometimes ostentatious arrangements of the prior two records, Vol. 3 proves to be a much mellower affair. The gothic symphonic elements often pair with softer pop/rock tunes, many of which aim at mood over hooks. Opener “Kill the Lights” starts off with a poppy beat, some cellos, and a growling Chris Harms, and though the chorus might not stick, it’s an overall good song. The moodier pieces don’t always work, however. “The Shadows Within,” which alternates between slower pop and higher energy techno-pop, is largely forgettable. The minimalist finale, “The Days of Our Lives,” serves as a disappointing send-off for the trilogy, though Harms, as usual, makes it worthwhile with his melodic cadence. Though overall less exciting, Vol. 3 does offer plenty of catchy ballads and duets, including “La Vie Est Hell,” performed with departing Kissin’ Dynamite frontman, Hannes Braun.1 It doesn’t do anything fancy, yet I find it often playing in my head on repeat.2
Opvs Noir Vol. 3 does milk some variety out of a couple of pop-related themes coursing through it: empowerment and doomed love. The two most upbeat tunes, “I’m a Diamond” and “I Hate People,” play out as Rammstein techno-industrial pop anthems for people who don’t quite fit in with mainstream society. While “I’m a Diamond” is the catchiest song on offer, the lyrics are a touch contrived.3 “I Hate People” turns the misanthropic-sounding title on its head by directing its ire towards those who seek to force their limited ideology on others.4 Lyrically, the synth-heavy, hip-hop adjacent “My Funeral” is my favorite, containing tongue-in-cheek lyrics where Harms proclaims that “Black is my happy colour” and “I’m gonna, gonna wear / Pink to my funeral.” Rounding out the pop themes are a few love songs, from the Duran Duran-inspired synth pop track, “Square One,” complete with ’80s toms, to a touching duet with Ambre Vourvahis (Xandria). These touches do help keep a rather mild record from growing stale.
While the songs here are well-written, produced, and performed, there’s no denying that it feels as if Lord of the Lost ran out of gas by Vol. 3. The hooks just don’t come as easily, and the lower energy levels feel like a letdown compared to the highs of the first two volumes. One issue is the blandness of the guitars. While creative riffing has not been one of Lord of the Lost’s fortes, they made up for it in the past with more creative arrangements. The generic riffs that fire up on choruses from “The Shadows Within” to “Your Love is Colder Than Death” feel like halfhearted attempts to inject some life into tepid tunes. Much more effective is the penultimate song, “Take Me Far Away,” which ends with an exciting burst of drums and riffs that brings the record to life, albeit briefly.5
This finale ends up bittersweet, feeling more like a whimper than a bang. Yet for fans of Chris Harms and co., it’s not a total loss. Chris Harms is able to elevate even the blandest of tunes; there’s not a single bad song, though many are only mildly enjoyable. Unlike a lot of the dreck that some of the more popular metal bands release, however, Lord of the Lost puts a lot of thought and care into their music, and the Opvs Noir trilogy has plenty to offer those who like their metal less extreme, yet still carrying an edge.

Kissin’ Dynamite – Back with a Bang Review
By GardensTale
After a string of excellent albums, I recently decided to balance out my good fortune in promos by picking the next few completely at random. No cherry picking or known quantities, just spin my trusted D&D spinner and grab the nth from the list, consequences be damned! Last week the consequence was a glammy heavy metal album that faired rather poorly. This week, the consequence is… another glammy heavy metal album? What the shit, fate, that ain’t fair! But Kissin’ Dynamite is, in fact, a known quantity, and one that I enjoyed quite a bit at Graspop last year. So after Lokasenna and Huck, who respectively reviewed Ecstasy and Not the End of the Road,1 my number is up to give the overjoyed Germans their due and see whether they really are Back with a Bang.
Unsurprisingly, the band that previously garnered praise for catchy songwriting, clean execution and excellent vocals, have written an album full of catchy songwriting, clean execution and excellent vocals. From the moment the title track opens the album with the promised bang, Kissin’ Dynamite immediately shows a lived-in grasp of what makes good glam2 work; unbridled, earnest enthusiasm, and the sort of hooks that randomly take your brain-radio hostage for months afterwards like a less-lethal version of Bananaphone.3 This is the sort of quote-unquote metal you can jam on the aux at any party and not get kicked out. It’s stuffed with infectious joy and bright, sparkly, celebratory attitude. The choruses are stadium-sized, the riffs are clean as a whistle and it’s consumed as easily as a bag of chips.
Back with a Bang plays every trope and template of its genre to the hilt. Explosive opener. Slightly darker follow-up. Track filled with nostalgic, sunny camaraderie that reminds me of Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” for some reason (“Raise Your Glass”). Not one, not two, but three songs about loving some woman, one with a bit more love (“Iconic”) and another with a bit more swagger (“The Devil is a Woman”). A completely realistic track about the amount of money, yachts,4 parties with superstars etc. they have (“More is More”), because glam is the most profitable music genre in 2024. And yes, this track has a vocoder section à la Bon Jovi “It’s My Life.” It’s a checklist, and does bequeath a ‘heard this before’ feeling throughout the running time. Which is fair: you have heard this before, about a thousand times since the 1980’s.
But an unoriginal album that is nonetheless written and played with uncommon excellence is still worth hearing, given you have sufficient tolerance for this level of cheesiness. At least 56% of the reason Kissin’ Dynamite works the way it does is the band’s primary haircut Hannes Braun. His powerful, soaring vocal performance is so chock full of honest spirit and joy, it’s hard not to crack a smile when he belts about all the good things in life, hitting every high note with seemingly no effort. Rounded off by a highly polished master, there’s not much stopping Back with a Bang from being the perfect metal album for a sunny beach party.
There’s nothing brilliant about Back with a Bang. In following all of glam’s usual tropes, it also stumbles into the usual pitfalls, like the ballad no one wants to hear (though “Not a Wise Man” is mercifully tacked onto the back and thus easily skippable). It’s cliched to the gills and glossy to a fault. But it’s so indomitable in its infectious joie-de-vivre, so packed full of earworms and so tightly executed, particularly in the vocal department, that I can’t but give Kissin’ Dynamite a wink and a thumbs up. If you need a pick-me-up this summer and don’t feel guilty about the pleasure of Provolone, you can do much worse than Back with a Bang.

Kissin’ Dynamite – Back with a Bang Review
By GardensTale
After a string of excellent albums, I recently decided to balance out my good fortune in promos by picking the next few completely at random. No cherry picking or known quantities, just spin my trusted D&D spinner and grab the nth from the list, consequences be damned! Last week the consequence was a glammy heavy metal album that faired rather poorly. This week, the consequence is… another glammy heavy metal album? What the shit, fate, that ain’t fair! But Kissin’ Dynamite is, in fact, a known quantity, and one that I enjoyed quite a bit at Graspop last year. So after Lokasenna and Huck, who respectively reviewed Ecstasy and Not the End of the Road,1 my number is up to give the overjoyed Germans their due and see whether they really are Back with a Bang.
Unsurprisingly, the band that previously garnered praise for catchy songwriting, clean execution and excellent vocals, have written an album full of catchy songwriting, clean execution and excellent vocals. From the moment the title track opens the album with the promised bang, Kissin’ Dynamite immediately shows a lived-in grasp of what makes good glam2 work; unbridled, earnest enthusiasm, and the sort of hooks that randomly take your brain-radio hostage for months afterwards like a less-lethal version of Bananaphone.3 This is the sort of quote-unquote metal you can jam on the aux at any party and not get kicked out. It’s stuffed with infectious joy and bright, sparkly, celebratory attitude. The choruses are stadium-sized, the riffs are clean as a whistle and it’s consumed as easily as a bag of chips.
Back with a Bang plays every trope and template of its genre to the hilt. Explosive opener. Slightly darker follow-up. Track filled with nostalgic, sunny camaraderie that reminds me of Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” for some reason (“Raise Your Glass”). Not one, not two, but three songs about loving some woman, one with a bit more love (“Iconic”) and another with a bit more swagger (“The Devil is a Woman”). A completely realistic track about the amount of money, yachts,4 parties with superstars etc. they have (“More is More”), because glam is the most profitable music genre in 2024. And yes, this track has a vocoder section à la Bon Jovi “It’s My Life.” It’s a checklist, and does bequeath a ‘heard this before’ feeling throughout the running time.

So I accidentially deleted my #AOTY2024 spreadsheet and my most recent backup was from April and missed half of all the entries. Luckily I tooted a list in mid June so I was able to recover my spreadsheet, I hope I didn't miss any entries.
