From Hell Is a State of Mind (2026). Hell Is a State of Mind is the sixth studio album by Finnish metal band Lost Society, released on 6 March 2026, through Nuclear Blast. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP LTD EC-1000 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Lost Society's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop A♯ (A♯ F A♯ D♯ G C).
