Description
Founded in early 2010 by thrash/speed metal enthusiast Samy Elbanna in the Finnish town of Jyväskylä, the frontman gathered an ensemble of passionate allies around him to establish a band that should soon become known as the most energetic up-and-comers the scene had seen in years. With their highly acclaimed debut album 'Fast Loud Death' released in 2013 - when the guys were still in their teens - LOST SOCIETY even caught the attention of veterans such as KREATOR and TESTAMENT. Subsequently, 2014's 'Terror Hungry' saw the band further enhancing their trademark blend of speedy boozing anthems and moshy mayhem in the vein of ANTHRAX, PANTERA and MUNICIPAL WASTE, resulting in numerous shows and festival appearances all over Europe. Enter 2016, nothing's changed - but yet everything's different. From the first second of the quartet's new record 'Braindead' , one can't help but notice that the light-hearted happy-go-lucky attitude of earlier days has made way for something deeper, darker and hear. Not an ounce of the youthful passion we've come to love was lost, but rather channelled into what can rightfully be called LOST SOCIETY's most mature and profound effort to date. Crushing riffs, relentless bass fire and thunderous drum pounding intertwine, creating soundscapes of death and devastation, while Elbanna - with a voice ripened to fierce perfection - coughs up venomous verses of madness, and pain. Crafted to maximum crispness by trusted producer Nino Laurenne at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki and mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers, with another masterly cover artwork by Jan Meininghaus (BOLT THROWER, SICK OF IT ALL, U.D.O.), 'Braindead' offers pieces of SLAYER-ish harshness combined with EXODUS-like coarseness and, in it's remarkable richness of gripping melodies, even borders on melodic death a la CHILDREN OF BODOM at times. But most of all, it portrays the Finns on the threshold of becoming one of the leading forces in contemporary thrash metal.
