About Battle Beast: The Kings of Modern Power Metal

Emerging from Helsinki, Finland, in 2010, Battle Beast have rapidly ascended to become one of the most exciting and recognisable forces in modern heavy metal. Their unique blend of classic heavy metal power, catchy synth-laden melodies, and anthemic choruses, all delivered with infectious enthusiasm, has captivated a global audience. The band’s genesis was deeply rooted in the vision of guitarist Antti Kokko, who sought to create a sound that harked back to the golden age of metal while injecting it with a contemporary vibrancy. Their self-titled debut album, “Battle Beast” (2011), immediately garnered attention for its high-octane tracks and charismatic frontman.

However, it was their second album, “Steel” (2012), that truly propelled them into the international spotlight. Featuring hits like the title track “Steel” and the unforgettable “Iron Hand,” the album cemented their status as masters of the power metal genre, showcasing their signature fusion of driving guitar riffs, powerful drumming, and Joona Björkroth’s increasingly iconic vocal prowess. Subsequent releases, including “Unholy Saviour” (2015), “Bringer of Pain” (2017), and the critically acclaimed “No More Hollywood Endings” (2019), have consistently delivered anthems that are as musically impressive as they are lyrically engaging. Their latest offering, “Circus of Doom” (2022), continued this trend, further solidifying their reputation for crafting infectious, crowd-pleasing metal. Throughout their career, Battle Beast have cultivated a reputation for their high-energy live performances, transforming every stage into a veritable colosseum of metal mayhem.
