Finland’s fiercest export Lost Society are back with a vengeance. The band returns with their brand-new single, “Dead People Scare Me (But The Living Make Me Sick)”, a high-octane anthem destined to ignite moshpits across festivals all summer long.
With this explosive track, Lost Society kick off a bold new chapter in their career, diving headfirst into fresh sonic territory while retaining the raw energy and aggression fans have come to love. The single is the first taste of their upcoming full-length album, details of which will be revealed soon.
Accompanying the release is a riotous party video that perfectly captures the song’s chaotic spirit and tongue-in-cheek attitude – a perfect visual complement to the track’s adrenaline-pumping riffs and biting lyrics.
Frontman Samy Elbanna comments:
“When we were kids, we often were scared by zombies, the grim reaper and whatever concept of death we felt we knew anything about – but as we grew up and were introduced to the real world, we would find out that there is nothing more terrifying than a person with a heartbeat and power.
This track dives into universal themes that most of us think about constantly: fitting in, and questioning why we should fit in? We are brought up in institutions molding us to prepare for adulthood, and even in the 21st century, differing from the mass still makes people look down on you – and this song is an anthem for the downtrodden. No matter how ”mainstream” metal music is, it’s always marginal, and ”being touched by the devil” is a metaphor for all of the people out there who feel like they are doing something that differs from the mass, and they like it.”
