Who is Lord of the Lost?

The band was formed in Hamburg in 2007 and consists of Chris Harms (vocals and guitar), Pi Stoffers (guitar), Klaas Helmecke (bass), Gared Dirge (various instruments) and Niklas Kahl (drums). “Blood & Glitter” is her tenth studio album and she made it shortly after publication in early 2023 at number one in the German charts,
