It’s getting serious: in four weeks, the Finnish theatrical metal pioneers will release their latest album “Odyssee Into The Grey”. With the single “The Bottomless Pit”, the Scandinavians show their full range:
Composer Harri Koskela: “I’m so overwhelmingly happy to finally release this album. We’ve always aimed to raise the bar on every release, and with this album I certainly think that we succeeded quite nicely again. It’s by far the most ambitious album we’ve done thus far, both musically and production wise. I’m a big fan of storytelling via music, so drama and nuances are in my opinion a key factor in it, and so I feel that our albums are at best when enjoyed as a whole. This album definitely makes no exception with that, so I strongly suggest to sit down, maybe have a glass of wine, and enjoy this musical rollercoaster. For the last video release of the album we chose the song ‘Vem Kan Segla Förutan Vind’ and wanted to honour everyone who participated in making this record.”
Anne Lil continued: “‘Vem Kan Segla Förutan Vind´ is one of the first songs I remember from my childhood, or at least the first I remember in my mother tongue Swedish. It’s a traditional song, which supposedly originates from the Åland islands between Finland and Sweden. We then wrote new verses to the song making our own version of the whole. The video was made in documentary style showing us recording and people participating in making this album. We wish to thank everyone involved!”

The Finnish theatrical metal band LOST IN GREY was founded in 2013 by composer, vocalist and keyboardist Harri Koskela, and lyricist and vocalist Anne Lill Rajala. What originally was planned to be simply a short-term project, soon grew into a full band. Inspired by a large variety of musical genres, literature, philosophy, and the world itself, Lost in Grey creates multifaceted music and brings elements of drama to their songs as well as live performances.
Followed by the previous album releases, THE GREY REALMS (2017), THE WASTE LAND (2019), and UNDER THE SURFACE (2021), which all claimed great responses from audiences and media, Lost in Grey’s upcoming 4th album takes another giant leap towards even greater musical adventures. The vocalists Emily Leone, Anne Lill Rajala and Harri Koskela play the main characters within the overarching story of all the albums, bringing a very own touch to it through their diverse voice talents.
In recent years these theatrical metal pioneers have proven to be one of the most promising and inspiring acts coming from the Finnish metal scene, electrifying their audiences through their versatile musical storytelling and tremendous sound. Now Lost in Grey invites you to dive with them on new adventures where the music and stories dance hand in hand, and everything is possible…
