27-03-2015 Lost Society

Venue: Rockstar`s, Tallinn (Estonia)
By: Nilla Meri

Lost Society is a young, energetic and one of the most promising band from Finland, Jyväskylä. Founded by a young thrash metal enthusiast Sammy Elbana in 2010, Lost Society has released already two albums and has played around couple of hundred live gigs around the world.

As a part of Tallinn Music Week, Lost Society had a killer gig in a small venue called Rockstar’s in Tallinn, Estonia. They were the headliner of the night presented by Estonian Thrash Metal Club. After playing in so many gigantic venues last couple of years, this one was kind of like a reminder of their early days as Sammy(vocals, guitars) told me before the gig. Definitely, the band turned this situation to a positive thing and mingled with the audience very well.

There were bunch of people hanging around in the venue before Lost Society got on the stage. As they started, that small venue was full of people ready to rock with LS. They started playing a bit later than 1:00 at night-which is quite late but a normal case for the live shows in Estonia.

The whole band was extremely energetic during the whole show and kept a great contact with the audience. Sammy talked to the crowd almost after each song. Probably the most hilarious moment was that when he made everyone’s middle fingers up in the air and shout as “Arttu on homo!” which means “Arttu is a homo.” And, I saw Sammy goosing Arttu(guitars) at some point during the show.

Their lineup consisted songs from the both Fast Loud Death and Terror Hungry albums. They also played a new song which was quite catchy and got accepted by the crowd easily. There was no single person who could resist their overflowing energy that night and probably no single person who didn’t join them headbanging at least in one of the songs. Both the band and the crowd seemed quite happy the end of the night and LS made their promise to be back in Tallinn again!
