LOST SOCIETY Launch Music Video For ‘Awake’ Track
October 7th, 2022

Jyväskylä, Finland-based heavy metal band Lost Society have released a music video for the track ‘Awake’. Filmed and edited by Joona Mäki (Huuru Media), the clip can be viewed below.

Speaking about the song and video, frontman Samy Elbanna said: “We wanted something haunting, yet beautiful for the video of ‘Awake’. Us together with the amazing Joona Mäki wanted to capture the intensity and the frailty of the lyrics, mixed with the powerful nature of the music – and I feel like we nailed it. The song is all about serenity in the destruction of something old and the creation of something new, and having the band in such a ‘stripped down’ setting really brings that through.

“It’s so easy to believe that once you spiral out of control, the only thing left is to hit rock bottom and never get up; but in fact, very often you just have to face that painful low in order for something new and beautiful to come to life. That’s what ‘Awake’ is all about – the beauty in rebirth, and rising from what you were sure would be the death of hope.

“This track features the incredible Budapest Art Orchestra, who helped us complete one of the most powerful and emotional songs we have ever released.”

Lost Society issued fifth full-length studio album If The Sky Came Down on September 30th, 2022 through Nuclear Blast Records.
