The cover artwork for the new record “Braindead” was created by Jan Meininghaus (BOLT THROWER, SICK OF IT ALL, U.D.O., HOLY MOSES, DEBAUCHERY…).

Samy Elbanna comments on the album:
“A lot has happened since the release of our second album; we’ve played loads of sick shows and we’ve definitely matured as songwriters and as musicians. We were beyond stoked to announce our new album »Braindead«! I’d have to say that this album truly shows what LOST SOCIETY is all about, and it’s filled with the tightest, heaviest and most aggressive stuff we’ve EVER done. This album has the slowest songs and the fastest songs we’ve ever done and one thing is for sure: this will make you wanna go crazy! The album title itself is a portrayal of us in many ways, »Braindead« has come to be another way of saying LOST SOCIETY, and it came to us as a natural decision to make it the title for what we feel is the best material we have ever made. Ladies and gentlemen, the times of a »Braindead« revolution are upon us!”

“Braindead” – Tracklist
01. I Am The Antidote
02. Riot
03. Mad Torture
04. Hollow Eyes
05. Rage Me Up
06. Hangover Activator
07. Only (My) Death Is Certain
08. P.S.T.88
Bonus

Interview by Tarja Virmakari

Finnish speed thrash metallers LOST SOCIETY are, by their age, still young but most of all they are a bunch of talented guys whose attitude isn’t too serious and snotty… Their talent was also noted by Nuclear Blast, who signed the band to their roster last year, releasing their debut album “Fast Loud Death” in 2013. Metal Shock Finland then had the pleasure to be among the first ones to interview the band when they had just started on this musical road (check it out here).

One year has passed, and LOST SOCIETY ‘s second album “Terror Hungry” will be released on April 4th, again via Nuclear Blast, who describes the effort with these words: “A record can hardly kick ass any harder!”… Also Metal Shock Finland‘s Chief Editor Mohsen Fayyazi reviewed the album, rating it 8/10, read more HERE.

…A couple of weeks ago, Tarja Virmakari had a nice chat again with LOST SOCIETY‘s founder and mastermind Samy Elbanna, talking of course widely about the upcoming album, but also gathering together the highlights of the past year. If you want to know what Samy and Tarja were talking about, please join the conversation below.

LOST SOCIETY Unveil Album Title, Cover Artwork, Tracklist & Release Date

Nuclear Blast has issued the following:

17, 18, 19, 19. No, that’s not today’s lottery numbers, but the age of the band members of Finland’s most promising contemporary newcomer combo. Founded early 2010 in Jyväskylä by thrash/speed metal enthusiast Samy Elbanna, the front man gathered an ensemble of passionate allies around him to establish a band that soon should become known as the most energetic up-and-comers Scandinavia had seen in years – LOST SOCIETY!

Crafted under the aegis of famous producer Nino Laurenne (AMORPHIS, ENSIFERUM, LORDI) in the prestigious Sonic Pump Studios (FINNTROLL, SONATA ARCTICA, OMNIUM GATHERUM), the band’s debut entitled “Fast Loud Death“ will be released via Nuclear Blast on March 15, 2013. Already in the first quarter, this record can doubtlessly be ranked among this year’s best releases of its genre!

The fantastic cover artwork was designed by no less a figure than Ed Repka (MEGADETH, DEATH, SANCTUARY, VENOM), who has once again created a true masterpiece that perfectly suits LOST SOCIETY’s music, as band leader Samy states:

“When we heard that the one and only Ed Repka would be responsible for the album art, we were thrilled, as he created some of the most killer album covers of all times! The result looks absolutely amazing and truly captures the album’s theme – a bus full of crazy people who blew it up big time!”

Maestro Ed Repka himself comments: “This was a lot of work but a fun project, since both the band and the label were great to work with and very receptive to my input. LOST SOCIETY’s comical concept of their tour bus leaving a town destroyed was cool, but to make it even more crazy, I added the pop-culture “monster in car” aspect, giving the whole image a distinct, aggressive presence. Another tongue-in-cheek metal masterpiece is born!”
