Lost Society Reveals New Album Details
Nuclear Blast Records has checked in with the following statement about releasing a new album from Lost Society:
"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) in the prestigious Sonic Pump Studios (Finntroll, Sonata Arctica) the band’s debut entitled 'Fast Loud Death' will be released via Nuclear Blast on March 15th, 2013. Already in the first quarter, this record can doubtlessly be ranked among this year’s best releases of its genre!"
The cover artwork was designed by Ed Repka (Megadeth, Venom). 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!” More...
Lost Society Signs To Nuclear Blast
Nuclear Blast has issued the following announcement about inking a deal with Lost Society:
"Thrash is not dead – and the youngsters of Lost Society are living proof of it! Founded in early 2010 by thrash/speed metal enthusiast Samy Elbanna in the Finnish town of Jyväskylä, the front man gathered an ensemble of passionate allies around him to establish a band that soon should become known as the most energetic newcomer combo Scandinavia had seen in years.
"After numerous gigs around Finland, bringing them great feedback for their extraordinarily strong stage presence, Lost Society decided to take part in the world-renowned GBOB (Global Battle Of the Bands). After they had won the preliminary decision round in their hometown, they were invited to the finals held in Helsinki, where they prevailed against 13 contesters and eventually came off victorious. The grand finals of GBOB 2012 will take place at The Scala in London on the 9th of December with 18 bands from all over the world – and Lost Society will be one of them!"
Nuclear Blast A&R Jaap Wagemaker also comments: “Nuclear Blast has a very long history when it comes to signing new bands from Finland and transforming them into household names. Once in a while a new band comes along that is so driven, energetic, powerful, enthusiastic, passionate and professional that you immediately see its potential to make the breakthrough. After we had seen Lost Society playing at the Global Battle Of the Bands, we knew that this is a combo of that kind! Lost Society have already recorded their debut album at the famous Sonic Pump Studios together with producer Nino Laurenne. The record is scheduled for a release via Nuclear Blast in spring 2013 and doubtlessly will be a real highlight for all fans of speed and thrash metal. The future belongs to Lost Society - welcome to the Nuclear family!” More...
