Only two years after their incredibly successful latest album “No Absolution”, Finnish modern metal squad Lost Society have come back ferociously with their latest album “If The Sky Came Down“, which will be released on September 30th via Nuclear Blast. We talk to frontman Samy Elbanna about the new songs, how musical exploration is important, career highlights and much more.
On the release of the new album “If The Sky Came Down”:
Samy: Our new full-length recording If The Sky Came Down would not have become like this had it not been for the unfortunate events of the past two years”, nods guitarist-vocalist Samy Elbanna, who formed LOST SOCIETY in 2010. We have indeed put together a year and a half of mental turbulence and a daunting tragedy for one album.
On the new musical direction of the songs:
Samy: We wanted to expand the band’s musical horizon without abandoning the vicious roots of our energetic sound. The result? Well, according to my very non-objective view, If The Sky Came Down turned out to be a giant step forward from previous albums, and we’ve now found the heart and soul of LOST SOCIETY. Period!
On the lyrics for the new album:
Samy: The lyrics are by far the most personal so far. I set out on this gloomy path with the song Creature, which I ended up writing at a hazy time when everything was beginning to fall apart in my life. I did not restrict or censor myself in any way, and the record became an extremely honest outburst of these dark feelings when everything has been lost and nothing matters anymore
