Lost Society – Awake (4K)| Samy Elbanna’s Explosive Performance in Turku 2026

Lost Society delivering an absolutely explosive performance of “Awake” at Baltic Metal Storm Festival in Turku, Finland. Samy Elbanna commanded the stage with incredible energy, intensity and emotion. “Awake” is one of Lost Society’s most powerful and deeply personal songs — and in a live setting, its massive riffs, soaring melodies and emotional weight hit even harder. “Awake” was released in 2022 on Lost Society’s fifth studio album, If the Sky Came Down. The album marked another major step in the band’s evolution from their thrash-metal roots toward a heavier, darker and more atmospheric modern-metal sound. According to Samy Elbanna, the song is about reaching rock bottom, facing the destruction of something old and discovering that something new and beautiful can rise from it. It is a song about rebirth, surviving the loss of hope and finally becoming awake again. The original studio recording also features the Budapest Art Orchestra, adding a huge cinematic and symphonic dimension to one of Lost Society’s most emotional compositions. Samy Elbanna’s story has now entered another remarkable chapter. In February 2026, he performed lead vocals and guitar with the surviving members of Children of Bodom during two sold-out A Celebration of Music concerts at Tavastia in Helsinki, honouring the life and musical legacy of Alexi Laiho. The connection will continue in 2027, when Elbanna joins Children of Bodom’s celebration lineup for major confirmed festival appearances, including Provinssi, Tuska, Rock Imperium and the legendary Wacken Open Air. From leading Lost Society with uncompromising energy to helping carry the music of Children of Bodom back onto the world’s biggest metal stages — Samy Elbanna is writing an extraordinary new chapter in Finnish metal history.
