LOST SOCIETY Release 'KILL (Those Who Oppose Me)' Video
February 15, 2013, 11 years ago
Finland's LOST SOCIETY crafted their new album with famous producer Nino Laurenne (AMORPHIS, ENSIFERUM, LORDI) in the prestigious Sonic Pump Studios (FINNTROLL, SONATA ARCTICA, OMNIUM GATHERUM). Entitled Fast Loud Death, the album will be released via Nuclear Blast on March 15th.
The band have just unveiled the first video clip from the album.
'KILL (Those Who Oppose Me)' was shot in the boys’ home town Jyväskylä together with director and LEGION OF THE DAMNED frontman Maurice Swinkels, who states: "I spent a fun evening with the Lost Society boys in Finland, creating the music video for 'KILL'. It was a blast – we shot the video at drummer Ossi’s place, where his parents welcomed us with open arms. They were very co-operative and lots of fun - especially his father’s physical commitment was great to watch!”
The band agrees: "Shooting the video with Maurice was great fun! He’s an absolute professional and it we got along greatly with him which made the filming very easy and natural. The video has a pretty old-school touch to it and the basic idea of the music video is fun to watch. Parts of it were shot in our rehearsal place which makes it very personal for us, and the outcome of the video is absolutely amazing! Watch, enjoy and mosh it up!"

Lost Society recently issued the first part of their hilarious track-by-track video series. In this pilot episode, Samy, Arttu, Mirko and Ossi provide you with background information on the album’s first three tracks: 'N.W.L.', 'Trash All Over You', and 'E.A.G.'. Watch below:
The album’s first single, 'Trash All Over You' - a song that perfectly captures what Lost Society are all about: speed, toughness – and huge fun - is available to stream and download below.
Band leader Samy Elbanna comments: “Many people have asked us why we misspelled the song title – we always give the same answer: It’s not about the thrash genre, but depicts how the whole world is collapsing on you. All the problems in the world seem to pile up and you get trashed all over. The song carries the feeling of being mad at everything and everyone at the same time – it’s something we all can relate to.”
The cover artwork for Fast Loud Death was designed by Ed Repka (MEGADETH, DEATH, SANCTUARY, VENOM), who has once again created a true masterpiece that perfectly suits the band’s music, as 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!”
Ed Repka himself comments: "This was a lot of work but a fun project, since both the band and the label were great to work with and very receptive to my input. Lost Society’s comical concept of their tour bus leaving a town destroyed was cool, but to make it even more crazy, I added the pop-culture "monster in car" aspect, giving the whole image a distinct, aggressive presence. Another tongue-in-cheek metal masterpiece is born!"
