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!”
