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.
