The Finnish theatrical metal band LOST IN GREY will be releasing their 2nd album THE WASTE LAND in January 2019. Inspired by symphonic and folk metal, literature and the world itself, LOST IN GREY creates multifaceted music, and they bring elements of drama to the songs as well as live performances. On this new album the band travels into themes that lead to the story of their debut album THE GREY REALMS (2017).
Today, the band released the second track-by-track video. Check it and find out more about the songs
"1992", "Far Beyond and Further" and "Wolves Among Men".
The band states:
"Greetings all thee! Our Track-by-Track video series in which Anne Lill and Harri tell us more about the songs on “The Waste Land” continues. From these videos we may learn more about the stories and ideas behind the songs, the composing, as well as other aspects. Part two deals with the songs “1992”, “Far Beyond and Further” on which Andi Kravljaca and Lasse Nyman (Thaurorod) are featuring on, and “Wolves Among Men” - perhaps the weirdest track on the album.
Yours sincerely, Lost in Grey"

The Waste Land represents a place where suppressed thoughts and emotions are buried. In the Waste Land they either die out, or live on as echoes and whispers. It is a place for withering, but also for growth. Additionally we may learn more about the history and thoughts of the characters - Lillian, Odessa and Patrick - or even catch glimpses of what the future will bring. Telling the story, Harri Koskela (also keyboard), Emily Leone (also violin) and lyricist Anne Lill Rajala play the characters within the story and bring a very own touch to it through their diverse voice talents. Additionally, wonderful guest musicians such as Nele Messerschmidt (Elvellon), Andi Kravljaca (Thaurorod), Tero Kalliomäki (Embassy of Silence) and Lasse Nyman (Thaurorod) have contributed to the album making The Waste Land an unforgettable experience.
The stunning new cover was created by guitar player Miika Haavisto.
LOST IN GREY was founded back in 2013 and released their „theatrical“ debut album „THE GREY REALMS“ in March 2017. The debut album consists of high quality compositions that can not be beaten in terms of dramaturgy. Therefore the story of „THE GREY REALMS” is as important as the music itself. See for yourself:
