Lord of the Lost is a German dark rock band from Hamburg, formed by singer and frontman Chris Harms.

While working on the initial songs and publishing them on MySpace, Harms received a lot of positive reception and realized that he would require a full band to play them live.

He recruited other musicians from his friends in the Hamburg music scene to form the band and begin working on the first album.

In October 2013, Lord of the Lost appeared as part of the Gothic Meets Klassik at the Leipzig Gewandhaus with the Zielona Gòra Symphony Orchestra.

In March 2015, Lord of the Lost released the pure acoustic album Swan Songs, which reached number 34 on the GfK Entertainment Charts.

In July 2017, Tobias Mertens announced that, for private and professional reasons, he would be taking a time-out from Lord of the Lost.

[15] The band planned to join KMFDM on the United States portion of the "Hell Yeah" tour with ohGr starting in October 2017.

[16] Chris Harms and π were to be playing guitar on stage with KMFDM during the tour, in addition to their Lord of the Lost set.

Lord of the Lost was forced to withdraw from KMFDM's United States tour when they were not issued visas by the U.S.

Iron Maiden subsequently renewed this successful collaboration for the European leg of the 2023 The Future Past world tour.

In interviews with the magazine Orkus and the website Subexistance, Chris Harms has cited bands and musicians such as Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga as some of the many performers that he listens to and is influenced by.
