No Absolution
2020 studio album by Lost Society
No Absolution is the fourth studio album by Finnish metal band Lost Society, released on 21 February 2020. The album is the last to feature drummer Ossi Paananen, who left the band in later that year, and the only album released independently, during the band's brief departure from Nuclear Blast.
On this album, the band moves away from the thrash metal style on the first three records and instead moves into a more modern direction of metalcore, death metal, groove metal and nu metal.
The album debuted at number 6 on the Finnish official albums chart and number 4 on the physical albums chart.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2020 studio album by Lost Society” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q108940595. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
