For longtime fans, the track reinforces the qualities that have defined Bloodred Hourglass throughout their career. For newcomers, it serves as an ideal entry point into a catalog built on consistency, evolution, and uncompromising energy.

Over the years, Bloodred Hourglass have continually expanded their reach while remaining true to the core elements that first established their identity. Their ability to blend modern production with classic melodic death metal influences has helped them stand apart in an increasingly crowded landscape.

After the Burial feels like another confident step forward—a release that honors the band’s roots while continuing to push their sound into new territory. It’s the work of a band that understands exactly who they are and where they’re headed.

Lost Society Redefine Modern Metal with Hell Is A State Of Mind

Finland’s modern metal force Lost Society are back. Four years after If the Sky Came Down, the band unleash their most ambitious and cinematic record yet, Hell Is A State Of Mind, arriving March 6, 2026 via Nuclear Blast.

🔥 Evolution Becomes Identity

Samy Elbanna (vocals/guitar), Arttu Lesonen (guitar), Mirko Lehtinen (bass), and Tapani Fagerström (drums) have spent years shedding expectations. From thrash beginnings to darker, more expansive territory, Lost Society have evolved with intent. This album marks the moment they stop searching and fully claim their sound.

Inspired by Finland’s fearless metal lineage, the band pushes forward without apology—modern metal that refuses comparison.

The album’s direction crystallized during the creation of “Blood Diamond,” when orchestral strings transformed a simple demo into something massive. That spark led to a record built on dramatic orchestration fused with classic metal spirit.

Tracks like the vulnerable “Is This What You Wanted” and the explosive “Kill the Light” showcase the emotional range, while bold structural twists—what the band jokingly calls “C-sections”—add unexpected intensity to songs like “No Longer Human.”

Lyrically, the album follows a journey from death and destruction toward revelation: Hell was never a place—it was a mindset.

🎚️ Big Sound, No Shortcuts

Recorded at Finnvox Studio B, the production embraces analog grit—real amps, natural drums, no artificial perfection. The scale expands further with a 40-piece Babelsberg Film Orchestra, elevating the record into cinematic territory.

The title track stands as the ultimate statement: theatrical, unpredictable, and fearless.

💀 A Defiant Statement

Hell Is A State Of Mind distills Lost Society into a singular declaration. No trends. No permission. No compromise.

March 6, 2026. Modern metal evolves again.

Frontman Samy Elbanna comments: “When we were kids, we often were scared by zombies, the grim reaper and whatever concept of death we felt we knew anything about – but as we grew up and were introduced to the real world, we would find out that there is nothing more terrifying than a person with a heartbeat and power. This track dives into universal themes that most of us think about constantly: fitting in, and questioning why we should fit in? We are brought up in institutions molding us to prepare for adulthood, and even in the 21st century, differing from the mass still makes people look down on you – and this song is an anthem for the downtrodden. No matter how ”mainstream” metal music is, it’s always marginal, and ”being touched by the devil” is a metaphor for all of the people out there who feel like they are doing something that differs from the mass, and they like it.”
