Finland’s forward-thinking metal trailblazers LOST SOCIETY announce their brand-new album Hell Is A State Of Mind, set for release on March 6th, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Four years after the critically acclaimed If the Sky Came Down, the band returns with their most fearless and defining statement yet—modern metal without equals and without apologies.
For vocalist–guitarist Samy Elbanna, guitarist Arttu Lesonen, bassist Mirko Lehtinen, and drummer Tapani Fagerström, Hell Is A State Of Mind marks a bold step into the metallic territory they were always meant to claim: unrestrained, unmistakable, and unapologetically their own.
Reuniting with trusted collaborator Joonas Parkkonen (producer, co-writer, mixing engineer), the album took a decisive turn when the track 'Blood Diamond' reshaped the creative direction—evolving from a simple melody into cinematic, string-driven grandeur.
The album’s first official single, 'Blood Diamond,' follows last spring’s “early first taste,” 'Dead People Scare Me (But the Living Make Me Sick)', and arrives alongside a raw, high-energy video capturing Lost Society’s untamed stage presence. From the very first notes, Hell Is A State Of Mind makes one thing clear: this is LOST SOCIETY at their most confident, confrontational, and uncompromising.
Frontman Samy Elbanna comments: ”I’m beyond excited to finally be able to announce our upcoming album and the new single off of it! Lost Society sounds HEAVY in the year 2026 - and you are all about to experience it first hand! I loved every moment of writing this album and especially preparing the story that i’m singing to you all - soon it will all be yours.
Pre-order the album and blast out ”Blood Diamond” LOUD until your neighbours can’t take it anymore!”
