Lost Society – Braindead

Nuclear Blast,  release Feb 12, 2016

Braindead could be seen as the Black Album of Lost Society, who before have rather focused on high speed attacks.

However, less speed does not mean less powerful, and you get to appreciate all those little details or insane soli a bit more. The speed freaks will have their share too, with Riot, Mad Torture or Hangover Activator.
