S.14 E.07 – Samy Elbanna of Lost Society

Send us Fan Mail“Writing and recording this, saved my life.” In this episode, we talk to frontman Samy Elbanna of the Finnish-based metalcore band, Lost Society. Their 5th and newest album, “If The Sky Came Down,” is their first release with Nuclear Blast Records since 2016's “Braindead.” It only made sense to resign with this heavyweight record label and drop another release, which has shaped up to be their best. Go figure, right? Samy talks about this big move and how grateful he is to take this next step in the band's journey. The sounds of Lost Society are unique, blending in the sounds of groove metal, metalcore, and nu-metal in their compositions. Samy talks about how “If The Sky Came Down” opened up this grander and more well-rounded version of the band. Not only is this album a heavy hitter of 2022, but it's also the most emotional. The sentiment of having the mental release for an album like this gave Samy such an emotional boost, and he describes the production process that opened his ability to reach down deep and put on his best performance on record to date. Songs like “112” and “Awake” proved to be productive elements for him and the band, and the ceiling for Lost Society is at the highest it's ever been. “If The Sky Came Down” is filled with catchy choruses, earth-shaking riffs, and all the breakdowns any heavy metal fan could ever ask for.
