Above all, it was incredibly important “because it was damn brave for a dark rock second album.

It showed from the beginning that LOTL doesn’t repeat themselves from album to album”, Chris sums up. They continued their metallic dark rock power but overturned the “textbook dark rock band” tag, refining their style with Gared Dirge’s nimble piano fingers. “Antagony” emphatically grants an intimate glimpse into the psyche of the band’s founder’s past: “I somehow associate a lot of loneliness with this album. Although I wasn’t lonely at all back then, in any relationship. But this feeling rises up in me when I think of the album.” The re-release on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of “Antagony” shows how intense a song by LORD OF THE LOST sounds with acoustic piano accompaniment: “Love Is Not Enough” in the piano version emphasizes the emotional side of the band and can be found among other fantastic extras on the second CD of the re-release.
