Four years after the critical triumph of If the Sky Came Down, Finland’s most fearless modern metal force, LOST SOCIETY, return today with their explosive new studio album, Hell Is A State Of Mind, available worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.
With this release, vocalist–guitarist Samy Elbanna, guitarist Arttu Lesonen, bassist Mirko Lehtinen, and drummer Tapani Fagerström step fully into the metallic identity they were destined to claim. Unrestrained. Unmistakable. Unapologetically their own.
From the opening moments, Hell Is A State Of Mind makes a bold declaration: this is modern metal without compromise. Where If the Sky Came Down and its predecessor No Absolution documented a band exploring new creative ground after shedding their early thrash roots, the new album captures the sound of a band that has stopped searching—and started defining.
This is LOST SOCIETY distilled to their purest and most defiant form. The album asks no permission, bows to no trend, and refuses to echo anything but its own voice. Massive hooks collide with punishing heaviness, cinematic atmosphere meets raw aggression, and every track pushes the boundaries of what contemporary metal can be.
To celebrate the release, the band have unveiled a brand-new music video for the crushing single ‘Kill The Light,’ a blistering showcase of their raw, high-voltage stage energy that has earned them a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in heavy music.
Frontman Samy Elbanna comments: “The 4 years leading up to the new album have seen the band grow as musicians and as song-writers, and we are proud to show the whole world just what this band is about in 2026. A dramatic, yet empowering lyrical storyline mixed together with big melodies, big guitar leads and orchestrations in a way you’ve never heard us do before. Think of this album as a clash of old school meeting the modern age – musically and visually. Welcome to “Hell Is A State Of Mind”.”
