band to some kind of cosmic hyperspeed Death
“Yes, Lost Soul are amazing, they seem to have evolved from being a straight-up Morbid Angel type
of band to some kind of cosmic hyperspeed Death Metal band.”
Digby Pearson (EARACHE RECORDS)
“If that’s the future of death metal, then it is in fucking safe hands.”
Dave Ingram (BOLT THROWER, BENEDICTION),
“...The cruel force of Vital Remains, precision of "Evangelion", grim parts of Immolation, and jazz
deviations of Death with a little bit of Morbid Angel's darkness are all here, on "Immerse In Infinity“.
Simply fantastic!"
METAL HAMMER (ALBUM OF THE MONTH)
“Incredibly, these Polish death metallers are something of a dark horse, as not many seem to know
about them. Chaostream, their newest album prior to this one, was released in 2005 and is arguably
one of the best DM records released in the 2000’s. Still, not much recognition (that would’ve been
much deserved) has fallen upon this awesome band, which is really intriguing and sad, ‘cause they kick
even Behemoth’s ass. And that’s not saying a little. Well, now they’re finally back with “Immerse in
Infinity”. Is it any good? Is it as good as one could hope, considering the prequel? Is Stevie Wonder
blind? Well… [...]”

Reviews & quotes from latest LOST SOUL album – “IMMERSE IN INFINITY” 2009
“If that’s the future of death metal, then it is in fucking safe hands”

“Final verdict? Immerse in Infinity is definitely one of last year’s best death metal albums. The long but
intense tracks never get boring and the instrumental capabilities of the band members are so
extremely enjoyable to listen to. I hope this will finally get Lost Soul on the map and on the road as
well. If the band can match the standards they have set on cd, we can expect something huge!”
www.metalrage.com (88%)
“What a talent to write songs (Simulation), to play guitar solos (216) and to construct riffs (…If The
Dead Can Speak). Lost Soul has proven that within the boundaries of death metal still great creations
can surface from out of the infinity. The new death metal MASTERS from Poland. My soul is lost
forever.”
www.heavymetalcosmos.eu (9,5/10)
“One of the best things about metal is taking the time to find quality albums like this so I highly
recommend a visit to Witching Hours website to obtain what is clearly, for me, one of the best death
metal albums of 2009.”
www.metalobsession.net (9/10)
“This is a big step up for an already good band, and deserves plenty of attention from death metal fans.
They are an underrated act, and this record can stand alongside the highpoints of 2009’s death metal
scene without yielding an inch. ”
www.metalreviews.com (86/100)
“After four years of musical non-existence, in 2009 Lost Soul released "Immerse In Infinity", probably
their best album. They managed to fuse technical death metal with at least as much musicality to make
it listenable for a common metalhead. For a death metal fan this CD is a must-have.”
www.ultimate-guitar.com (8,7/10)
“To put it simply, Immerse in Infinity is like the interstellar evolution of Immersed in Blood, equally
brutal but bathed in a futuristic disposition. Never once does the staggering musical ability of the band
interfere with the steady puncture of the songwriting. It's disgustingly humbling and thorough in its
hostile statement of intent: if you thought Lost Soul meant business before, they now OWN that
business. Enjoy.”
