It’s getting serious: in four weeks, the Finnish theatrical metal pioneers, LOST IN GREY, will release their latest album “Odyssey Into The Grey.” With the single “The Bottomless Pit,” the Finns show their full range.
Composer Harri Koskela proudly comments: “‘The Bottomless Pit’ represents the most versatile and theatrical side of the new album, accompanied with lots of orchestral elements. Musically, I was inspired by certain movie scores, and some may recognize, e.g., some ‘Ennio Morricone’ vibes here and there. This track is one of the first ones on which we worked together with Francesco Ferrini from Fleshgod Apocalypse regarding the orchestral elements, and I’m extremely happy with how it turned out! Also, it is one of the two songs we composed together with Anne Lill for this album.”

Anne Lil adds: “Storywise, ‘The Bottomless Pit’ is the ‘villain song’ of the upcoming album. The song title stems from a quote from Erich Fromm, ‘Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.’ We sing mainly as our characters, but there are two lines in which I’m singing as ‘myself’. This is also the song in which my character Lillian sort of realizes she has a dark side too. As I’m always interested in various forms of art (e.g., writing, singing, visual arts), this time I also did improvised dancing for the music video.”
The album will be released on April 5, 2024; pre-sales are going well:
