On Wednesday, May 6, 2026, we headed to the sold-out club Roxy Club for a gothic show by the German Lord of The Lost with a support act by an all-female band Dogma and modern League of Distortion. Right from the start, the evening looked promising, and the line outside the club stretched for quite a distance more than an hour before opening time.
The opening band, League of Distortion, kicked off the evening at a good pace. I was looking forward to seeing them, but honestly, I didn’t expect such enthusiastic support from the fans in attendance. I hadn’t seen their show in a long time, and I was surprised by how much they’ve grown as a band. Right now, everyone on stage is perfectly in sync, and the newer songs work just as well live as the older ones. I loved how the whole venue was screaming and singing along during songs like “Wolf or Lamb” or “L.O.D.”
The atmosphere cooled off a bit during the Dogma set. Personally, I don’t really know what to make of it, and I didn’t enjoy it at all. Their new singer didn’t make much of a vocal impression, and in my opinion, she was a bit off-key. The rest of the performance probably appealed more to the male audience, but to me it came across as very forced and unnatural.
Fortunately, the next performance was a whole level better, and Lord of The Lost showed why the club was sold out even on a Wednesday night. The tour title “Tovr Noir” alone suggests that they wanted to play all three parts of their album “OPVS NOIR.” They played something from each one, including one of their latest singles, “I Hate People,” a live duet with Anna Bruner, “Please Break the Silence,” and the closing favorite duet with Sharon, “Light Can Only Shine in the Darkness.” The setlist was rounded out with the best songs from earlier days; “Blood and Glitter,” a cover of “Cha Cha Cha,” and even older tracks like “Priest,” “Drag Me To Hell,” and “Loreley” were all must-haves. The atmosphere on and off stage was electrifying, and the mood was charged with energy. The entire venue sang, screamed, and jumped along with the band, even though the club was very stuffy and humid. Despite all the technical issues, I think the concert was a real success and everyone enjoyed it.
What else is there to say in closing? Perhaps just that I wish there were more events like this.
If you were there too, we'd love to hear your thoughts and comments.
