SYLOSIS & LOST SOCIETY IRL Talks | Bleeding Metal Podcast 6.5

2026 is shaping up to be a great year for Heavy Music, especially in terms of concerts, new albums, and the conversations we have in the metal scene. Kiki catches up with Josh and Ali from SYLOSIS about touring, mental health, and the impact of family life on their music careers.

The conversation with Samy Elbanna from LOST SOCIETY covers a wide range of topics including music production and album concepts. However, both interviews have in common these artists' very interesting opinions about the current state of metal music. It also delves into the challenges of creating unique music in an oversaturated market and the importance of authenticity and personality in metal songs.
