After releasing their emotionally powerful single “Light Can Only Shine in the Darkness” last week, Lord of the Lost and Within Temptation now follow up with the official music video today. “Light Can Only Shine in the Darkness” is the current single from Lord of the Lost’s upcoming studio album Opvs Noir Vol. 1, set for release on August 8, 2025 via Napalm Records.
Together, Lord of the Lost and Within Temptation have created a song that unites the complementary voices of Sharon den Adel and Chris Harms in perfect symbiosis. The track impressively expands the rich diversity of Lord of the Lost’s ever-growing sonic landscape — a testament to their ability to continuously discover new shades within their darkly colourful spectrum, to embrace new perspectives, and to remain true to their roots.
Chris Harms on “Light Can Only Shine in the Darkness”:
Shortly after playing the final show of Iron Maiden’s 2022 tour together with Within Temptation, the idea for “Light Can Only Shine in the Darkness” was born – an attempt to create a hybrid song between Within Temptation and Lord of the Lost, and ultimately a duet for Sharon and me. The fact that it actually came to life is a dream come true, because a duet with Sharon has been – no, had been – at the top of my bucket list for over a decade!
