A new Beast In Black mini game is here!

Power Of The Beast music video is out!

Anton Kabanen comments: “'Power Of The Beast' takes us one step further in showcasing our passion towards high energy music, unstoppable beats, solid melodies, (synth)riffs and a meaningful message. It's dedicated to everyone who's in need of encouragement, motivation, determination and inner strength to aspire onward. ... See more The message of the song is like the unyielding attitude and empowering resolution of Guts, the protagonist from the manga "Berserk". That said, the lyrics are indeed a hybrid based off "Berserk" and my own lifeview and experiences.
With musical influences heavily permeated by the so called Super Eurobeat, which I have absorbed through the years, I think it's fairly justified - but obviously with a tongue in cheek - to describe this song as Super Eurobeast! It's the first of its kind but we promise you it's definitely not gonna be the last!”

Music video director Katri Koppanen tells about her inspiration for the video: “I began working on the music video script when only fragments of the lyrics were available, and Anton had just a few initial ideas about the song text. Even in the early stages, it was clear that the song's message was going to be empowering and energetic, which resonated with me, especially given how dark, chaotic, and overwhelming the world has become in recent years. Quite often, I catch myself missing the innocence of movies from the 80s and 90s, where bad guys always got what they deserved. Inspired by that, I wanted to create something fun based on my favorite movies from that era-something that leaves you in a good mood at the end.”

Beast In Black 2024 - Power Of The Beast

Nearly three long but bountiful years since the release of the latest Beast In Black album, our anticipation reaches its peak as we prepare to unleash our fighting-spirited hellhound of a standalone single: Power Of The Beast!

The Glory and the Beast European Tour is a wrap! What a fantastic ride it was. Everyone involved from our side, to Gloryhammer and Brothers Of Metal , made this a super professional operation. 21 dates through 14 countries and 12 of them SOLD OUT!

Welcome to the Glory and the Beast tour!
This photo was taken on the production day in front of our stage decor to share the impact of what you can expect to see on this specific tour which starts today.

Happy New Year!

In 2022, after forgetting about the pandemic finally; fans visited as many shows and festivals as they could. Our biggest fear was that people will run out of money for 2023 and they will have to choose between attending to shows or going on holiday or even putting food to the table. Luckily, our fears never got confirmed, as we had a kick ass start of 2023 with our biggest and longest European tour so far and with such a great success which we didn’t expect beforehand. And this flow continued through the whole year; on the summer festivals, in Japan and on our second North American tour too! ... See more We:

- Returned to Damien Dausch to shoot a music video for Blade Runner, the opening track of ’Dark Connection’ album.
- Conquered Europe with 44 shows through 21 countries on the Dark Connection Tour with special guests Firewind. 25 of these shows got SOLD OUT!
- Played two shows in a row in Tokyo, Japan. One got SOLD OUT and the other one was close too.
- Had 17 summer shows at big festivals like Summer Breeze Brazil, ProgPower USA, Hellfest, and Graspop - all with main stage performances.
- Released To The Last Drop Of Blood music video, a powerful song from ‘Dark Connection’ album.
- Released an upgraded version of One Night in Tokyo video game
- Did our second North American tour called “Back in North America” with special guests Dance with the Dead. Out of 31 shows nine got SOLD OUT!
- Announced a double headlining tour with Gloryhammer in early 2024! 21 shows in 14 countries. The "Glory and the Beast" tour will also include support from Brothers Of Metal.
- Announced two shows in Japan, which is planned to be extended to a short Asian tour for the first time in the band's life.

So now it looks things went back to normal and we are again on the glorious path which we were forced to leave three years ago.
Our motto changed according to these experiences: “Never give up and never stop fulfilling your dreams!”
It may sound a bit cliché but there were times when these words really helped to carry on. In the first half of 2024 we will still do some tours and festivals but after that we will start the preparations for the fourth Beast In Black album, finally.

Keep on rockin’ everyone, we will be there for you!
Atte, Kasperi, Mate, Anton, Yannis

22.-23.05.2024 TOKYO, Zepp Shinjuku

We're making a triumphant return to Japan this May with "Two Nights for Love" at Tokyo's Zepp Shinjuku! Turmion Kätilöt will join us as special guest.

We are happy to announce our One Night in Tokyo video game got some upgrades which will definitely take your gaming experience to a higher level. Kill the enemy, destroy the vehicles, collect diamonds, turn into Beast and even participate in a Beast In Black show!
To keep it equal, we reset the leaderboard, so now the fight is real!

To The Last Drop Of Blood music video is out!

As we hit bigger and bigger stages in front of tens of thousands of fans, the power of the Beast continues to break loose! We also want to show this madness to those people who have never had the chance to see us live. For that, we chose a powerful song from our latest album, ‘Dark Connection’, and we asked Damien Dausch to film it on some shows of the tour. Now, we can proudly present you the music video for ‘To The Last Drop Of Blood’! We hope it brings the big arena feeling into your home.

Along with Cobra Agency and Contra Promotions, we are extremely proud to announce a double headlining tour with Gloryhammer in early 2024! The "Glory and the Beast" tour will also include support from Brothers Of Metal.

There are not enough words or emotions to sum up how amazing the Dark Connection European Tour was: 44 dates through 21 countries, so many of them sold out, and a lot of “firsts” for us! We’d like to thank our brothers in Firewind, and all of our combined crew members who made this winding road feel like home. Special shout-out to Suicidal Angels for joining us for two shows as well! To all of the teams who worked tirelessly on this run, and especially you, the fans- we appreciate you from the bottom of our Beastly hearts. See you all down the road!

We have a new address to send any and all Beast In Black fanmail! Please bear in mind that while we sincerely appreciate you thinking of us, due to customs restrictions, we cannot accept any mail or parcels from outside the European Union. Click here for further instructions.

James Rolfe, of Cinemassacre and "The Angry Video Game Nerd" acclaim, sat down virtually with us for a roundtable chat . Topics included our favourite heavy metal bands, the "One Night In Tokyo" website game, and nearly all aspects of Beast In Black's creative process, including Anton's advice: "You have to close out that outer world and stay true to the intuition that you have."

Blade Runner music video is out!

We returned to Damien Dausch, the ‘king of live video recordings’, to shoot a new music video for the opening track of our latest album, Dark Connection. His unparalleled skills place the watcher in the front row, and even on stage, while we play the explosive track ‘Blade Runner’.

Happy New Year!

2022 started in the shadow of the pandemic. International tours still got postponed, however, more and more domestic shows could happen with some restrictions and with limited audience. And the world slowly started to open up and bands could continue living their dreams. After all, this year brought a lot to the table for us, especially in visiting some new countries and continents. ... See more We:

- Embarked on a mini tour in Finland for the first live presentations of ’Dark Connection’ album.
- Did our first North American tour with 17 headline shows and with 11 supporting shows for Nightwish.
- Had 16 summer shows at big festivals like Summer Breeze, Masters Of Rock, and Rockharz - all with main stage performances.
- Had our first Latin American tour with two headline shows and six supporting shows for Nightwish.
- Bravado, our official merchandising company, launched a Beast In Black artist shop for North American territory! https://beastinblackstore.com/.
- For the one-year anniversary of Kentaro Miura’s death, we released "BROKEN SURVIVORS", the first lyric video of ’Dark Connection’ album.
- Won the “Metal of the Year” category at the 2022 Finnish EMMA-Gaala.
- Announced the three times postponed Dark Connection European Tour for 2023. 44 shows in 22 countries with Firewind as special guests.

- Announced a special event to present ’Dark Connection’ album in Japan. After New Year’s Eve we didn’t really dare to think of such a great and complete year for the band and we just hope those dreary times will never come back anymore.
We again changed our motto and actually we are going back to the motto which we used after founding the band: “The Beast is back!”
The Beast is back, stronger than ever and in 2023 we will spread our wings even wider to tame some new lands where we have never been before. So next year will be about massive touring around the world. More tours will be announced soon.

With respect and love to our persistent fans who didn’t forget us during the Covid mayhem

Our first North American tour successfully ended yesterday.
20 headline shows with some sold out venues and 11 great gigs with Nightwish. We couldn’t have wished for a better start. One thing is for sure now, the Beast will be back in North America!

It’s such an honor for Beast In Black to be named “Metal of the Year” at the 2022 Finnish EMMA-Gaala! We can’t thank you all enough for your endless support!

KENTARO MIURA 1966-2021

Today, it’s been exactly one year since the untimely passing of Kentaro Miura. Here are a few personal thoughts from Anton.
“We all hurt, we all break, we all feel sorrow and profound pain, ... See more for that’s the price of being fragile and delicate. But with this same fragility and delicacy we may open ourselves to kindness, gentleness, joy, understanding, empathy, caring, longing and love. I believe Kentaro Miura knew this very well, as he imbued his characters of Berserk with these qualities, and complex yet accessible emotional depths. He knew how to make hearts beat, and how to make souls resonate, because he could feel it. This is what made Berserk meaningful to me, and undoubtedly to many other devoted admirers as well. Hence we, Beast In Black, aimed to prepare something unique to encapsulate the warmer and gentler side of Kentaro’s humanly vulnerable characters.
With eternal love and respect for Kentaro Miura, we proudly present you: BROKEN SURVIVORS!”

Bravado, our official merchandising company, launched a Beast In Black artist shop for North American territory!

Happy New Year!

In the beginning, 2021 was the year of new hopes; but in the end, it turned into a huge disaster, which made people pessimistic regarding the future. We as a band also had our hard times, like all fellow sufferers, but at least we had the chance to release a new album. This gained some hype around us and brought us the feeling of “good old times”. So we:... See more

- Had four summer festival shows, which counts for a huge number of yearly gigs nowadays
- Released ”Moonlight Rendezvous”, the first music video of ’Dark Connection’ album, which gained its first one million views on YouTube in less than two weeks after the release
- Released "One Night In Tokyo", the second music video of ’Dark Connection’ album and our first pixel-animated video
- Released "Hardcore", the third music video of ’Dark Connection’ album, which couldn’t reach fans in great numbers on YouTube (with new regulations) because of its explicit content
- Released our 3rd full length album, ’Dark Connection’
- Achieved a Platinum award for the great sales of ‘Berserker’ album, and Gold award for the great sales of ‘From Hell With Love’ album

- Won the “Best Music Video of the Month” competition at Top Shorts festival with ”Moonlight Rendezvous” music video
- Signed merchandising deal with BRAVADO
- Announced our first headline tour in the USA for spring 2022, which is our first-ever tour over there

We couldn't imagine how this year could be worse than 2020 was, and in the end only the new album release saved our negative feelings! To top our sorrows up, Kentaro Miura, the author of Berserk series passed away too. He had the biggest influence on Beast In Black so we dedicated our new album to him.
Our motto changed for this new situation:
“Stay strong as a beast and fight like a storm till we meet again and never give up your dreams!”

Heads up!
Atte, Kasperi, Mate, Anton, Yannis

A couple of years ago, something special happened. The lovely Santa himself and his sweet Elf Girls paid a visit to a Beast In Black show to spread some magical Christmas mood. There is no better day to share this crazy (mad and insane?) memory than today on Christmas Eve.

Right before the tour with Nightwish in the USA we will do a four-week-long headlining run over there! This will be Beast In Black's first ever tour in the USA!

What could be better than spending one night in Tokyo? That’s right, nothing!
Join us in our new video game inspired by the most epic beat ‘em up games of all times and help us fight our way through the futuristic dreamscapes of mesmerizing and exciting Tokyo.
If you’re with us, you better buckle up for a manic ride on the savage Beast!... See more

Check out what the developer Claudio Cimini says about it:

“The Beast In Black – One Night In Tokyo game has been created within a month of hard work and development in collaboration with Brillantina Moretti for the visual design. My idea is always to create something that gives a feeling of an original arcade video game, in this case, a beat 'em up kind of style such as Streets of Rage, Final Fight and more with some clear reference to it. All sprites, assets, animations and development were made by us trying to replicate the look and play-ability of these masterpieces adapting them to the style of the BIB music video. The result is new version of a classic arcade game that hopefully gives you the right vibe and mood to listen to this awesome track and watch the video. It has been an honor for us to have worked on this project, thank you!"

For your pleasure, or your slight, we present you: 'HARDCORE'!

One Night In Tokyo music video is out!

What could be better than spending one night in Tokyo? That’s right, nothing. If this hyper uplifting and max powered heavy metal hybrid of italo disco and eurobeat doesn’t get you electrified and flying through the futuristic dreamscapes of mesmerizing and exciting Tokyo, then you’re just not crazy, mad and insane enough for a journey where only Beast In Black can take you. If you’re with us, you better buckle up for a manic ride on the savage Beast!

Test your Beast In Black / Berserk Manga knowledge in this quiz game and learn how the two are connected to each other!

Moonlight Rendezvous music video is out!

Moonlight Rendezvous is a massive dark cyberpunk love story that marks a brave new turn in Beast In Black’s journey. It felt like a mission impossible to capsulize a story worth a full length feature film into six minutes without making it feel like a trailer, and still make total sense when you put all the pieces together.... See more But as always, the bigger the challenge the more it feeds our ambition and excitement, hence we knew we must do this! That’s the way of the Beast. And we all can easily agree that no one was as driven as our multi-talented director Katri Ilona Koppanen, who didn’t only make an extraordinary video for Beast In Black which we couldn’t be more proud of, but also her brilliant debut as a director.

Pre-order of Dark Connection album starts now!

We are happy to announce that we will release our new album Dark Connection on October 29th via Nuclear Blast, and to reveal the amazing album cover artwork by talented Roman Ismailov!... See more

"Enter cyberpunk. Flying cars, sprawling metropolis, valleys of neon lights, emotionless killers, gynoids, femmes fatales, shadowy characters, lethal lust, forbidden passion, love larger than life, space travel... All this and much more is what 'Dark Connection' holds within. Such cyberpunk animes as Armitage III, Cyber City Oedo 808, AD Police, Battle Angel Alita and Bubblegum Crisis have essentially served as sources of inspiration, as well as the immortal classic film by Ridley Scott; Blade Runner. And as always, a Beast In Black album wouldn't be a Beast In Black album without a heavy impact of Berserk, the manga and anime creation of Kentaro Miura. Sadly, the beloved author passed away while we were still making this album. Thus, 'Dark Connection' is dedicated to Kentaro Miura."

For Kentaro Miura

We are all immensely saddened and devastated by your untimely passing. It feels like the Eclipse has descended upon us. In my journey, as a person and as an artist, your influence has been beyond great, it has resonated in the deepest parts of my humanity. ... See moreThe story of Beast In Black would not have even commenced without Berserk, your immortal creation.
But now, with even more conviction, we will do our best in honoring your memory by never ceasing to create songs about Berserk. You will be greatly missed. Rest in peace and arigato. -Anton

”Throughout my life, the moments, and people who have defined me… they have all been illuminated by sparks.” - Guts

Happier New Year!

Hard to recall any good moments in 2020 from the band’s perspective.
However, it could have been worse, like for all those bands which released their new album in spring when this nightmare just started.... See more They didn’t get the chance to present it to their fans or to gather new ones with it. Or others had to stop their tour in the middle of it when clubs closed down. So we were on the lucky side if we look at this side of the coin.
For this year we planned to record the 3rd Beast In Black album, maybe even to release it if we are fast enough with the production. We planned to have our first tour in the USA, our first shows in Mexico and some festivals in headlining position for the first time.
We understood invisible powers rule the world nowadays which made us to change our motto to fit it better to the recent situation: “We are made of metal and nothing can kill us!”
So once it is possible, we are back to you with a kickass new album and with magical live shows around the world! Take it as a promise ;)

Meet soon people, meet soon!
Atte, Kasperi, Mate, Anton, Yannis

Berserker album has been released in cassette format too today!

We are very happy to inform you about our cooperation with Bravado, which is one of the biggest merchandising companies in the world!
You can find our latest merch & music in our new store from now on!

It is not easy to say any wise words in these dark times, so just let us quietly announce our upcoming European Tour for November/December 2021!
Although it's still far away, we hope that everybody who reads this will be able to attend the shows in good health. That is our wish for 2021!

From Hell With Love album has been released in cassette format too today!

Atte Palokangas became an official Tama Artist today!
Atte commented:
Atte commented: "I've never owned a Tama drum kit, so I've always been more or less secretly in love with Tama stuff. Finally I'm out of the closet, officially a Tama artist! It feels like returning home, a home that I never even had!"

Happy New Year!

2019 was a magical year that brought some huge milestones in our lives! We had so many amazing moments:

To be honest, we couldn't exactly imagine how to top our previous year, but by the looks of it, we somehow managed to do it in every possible aspect!
The motto is unchanged: as long as you are with us, we can get stronger and stronger year by year!
In 2020 we will leave our footprints in some untamed lands and spread our wings as widely as we can, to reach as many fans as it’s just humanly possible. We have already started the preparations for the third Beast In Black album. If everything goes according to plan, we can proudly release it by the end of the year.
Looks like 2020 certainly promises adventures, so let’s enjoy the ride together!

Thanks for your support people! Rock on, cheers!
Atte, Kasperi, Mate, Anton, Yannis

First show in Mexico!

01.05.2020 🇲🇽 MEXICO CITY - Domination MX festival

We really wanna spread the word all over the globe!

From Hell With Love has been nominated in EMMA Gaala's “Best Metal Album” category!

We got our first GOLD RECORD for the great sales of Berserker album in Finland!

We truly can't thank you enough for this magical night. Now we now how it feels to play in front of 4500 true fans!
This night was definitely a milestone in the history of Beast In Black, and now with your great support we are ready to face the new challenges and adventures!

Atte Palokangas announces cooperation with Sihi cymbals!

"It was a long wait but finally had my cymbal set up with Kaaos, Kaski and Sysi series cymbals. These things are just beautiful, musical and fit perfectly to my playing style! I've only good things to say about Centent cymbals, they do awesome stuff as well. But this was just something that was meant to happen. Check these cymbals out! You won't regret!"

Cry Out For A Hero tour video is out!

During our recent From Hell With Love tour, Damien of Dust In Mind came to us and offered to record our show in Strasbourg in order to make a live footage out of it.
The result he sent to us was way above our expectations.
His video truly shows the real power of the BEAST IN BLACK live performances!

Ibanez endorser Kasperi Heikkinen talks about his new Ibanez LA Custom Shop guitar in this video!

Kasperi comments:
"My first proper electric guitar that I ever had was an Ibanez JEM back in 1994. It was a love-at-first-sight kinda thing and therefore I have been playing Ibanez ever since and never looked back.... See more I've had the privilege to be an Ibanez endorser and collaborate with Levytukku Oy, the importer of Ibanez in Finland, for several years now. I always dreamt of having a custom guitar built for me according to my own quirks and idiosyncrasies and now that dream has finally become reality! This is the ultimate weapon and the perfect beast!"

The autumn edition of "From Hell With Love" tour ended yesterday.
So many emotions captured in 21 days, and we're truly at loss for words!
The crew, the bands, the people, the places... Music makes all that possible!
We're sad to say goodbye to to you but the Beast will stay even hungrier for more and crazier adventures!

The second leg of our "From Hell With Love" tour kicks off tomorrow with 4 SOLD OUT and one upgraded shows already!
We can't wait to meet our dearest fans again and entertain you for hours with true heavy metal!... See more

We proudly present you the Die By The Blade lyric video, our second single from the upcoming album, From Hell With Love.... See more
Anton states: "’Die By The Blade’ is one of the ‘Berserk’ manga-related songs on the album and apart from its very straightforward song title, the lyrics deal with a deeper issue than it might seem at first glance. Music-wise it's a definite BEAST IN BLACK-style heavy metal ear-worm, and Yannis's powerful and emotional all-or-nothing type of performance deserves a special mention!"

Happy New Year!

For us, 2018 was a big step forward:
- Atte Palokangas officially joined the band on drums
- We SOLD OUT our very first headline shows in Jyvaskyla (Finland, Cap.: 530) and in Helsinki (Finland, Cap.: 900)
- Joined Rhapsody Reunion on their "20th Anniversary Farewell" tour for five weeks... See more
- Played a short tour in Japan for the very first time
- Participated in 18 great summer festivals
- During the summer festival season we recorded the second Beast In Black album
- Atte signed endorsement deal with Centent cymbals
- Beast In Black have been nominated for Metal Hammer Awards in "Best Debut Album" category
- Supported Nightwish on their "Decades" arena tour for six weeks; played in front of 10,000 people/show on average
- Reached 10 million views on Youtube for "BLIND AND FROZEN" music video in less than 14 months
- Released our second music video "SWEET TRUE LIES", which gathered 770,000 views on Youtube in one month
- Announced February 8, 2019 as the release date of our 2nd album "From Hell With Love"
- Announced our first European headlining tour entitled "From Hell With Love tour" including 30 shows for spring 2019
- Announced some big festival shows for 2019 summer and many more is coming soon…

Well, that’s what we call big steps forward, but the motto is still the same:
As long as you are with us, we are stronger and stronger year by year!
2019 will show the band’s real strength. All headlining tours are always big risks, especially the very first one. Although the ticket pre-sales are surprisingly great so far and some venues are SOLD OUT already, we have to entertain the audience for longer than ever and make you feel hungry for more after the end of the shows. That’s the real challenge now but we are looking forward to it!

Thanks for your support, meet soon, and have fun!
Atte, Kasperi, Mate, Anton, Yannis

We were there!!!!!
The adventure ended yesterday. We are sad at the moment, but on the other hand, we are some of the happiest musicians in the world since we got the chance to participate in this marvelous tour.
Huge thanks to everybody who came to see us, and even bigger thanks to Nightwish and to the whole crew for treating us so well!

As we promised, we announce more shows of From Hell With Love tour 2019 spring!
We plan to hunt across Finland and show you the real Beast in every corner!

After this great summer we proudly announce to you Beast In Black has been nominated for this year's Metal Hammer Awards in "Best Debut Album" category!
The ceremony takes place on Friday, September 14 in Berlin.

This summer was hot, indeed! :) Unfortunately, it came to an end, but thanks to everyone who joined us at the shows! This was our first full festival season (18 shows in total) and we felt your love every night.

Beast In Black drummer Atte Palokangas has signed endorsement deal with Centent cymbals!
Atte commented:
"So, as some of you might have already noticed that I've changed my cymbals to Centent cymbals.... See more
A little bit more than 2 years I was playing with Impression cymbals but when I had a possibility to try out these Centent cymbals, it was love at the first hit!
Still, I have only the good things to say about Impression and I was really pleased to work with them for more than two years.
But now it's time for new adventures with Centent cymbals.
Can't wait tomorrow to have the first live action with these beauties!"

Let's start the summer festival season!
We will make it hot for you!

Atte Palokangas joins Beast In Black family on drums!
Watch his audition video, and read statements below from both Atte and Sami, our previous drummer.... See more

Sami stated:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be able to fulfill my duty as the drummer of Beast In Black.
Due to new circumstances in my life, I'm not able to take part in the upcoming shows nor tours and I feel the band, especially in its early stages, requires a drummer who will be able to give his absolute hundred percent for the band.
In addition to that, as some of you may know, I've had some issues with my left hand, making drumming sometimes extremely difficult and painful. It has something to do with the nerve system, resulting in my left hand going all numb and powerless - much like the tennis elbow. This would constantly make it hard for me to rehearse and eventually slow the band down.
Let me continue by saying there was and will not be any bad blood between me and the rest of the band. I love all the guys in the band and wish them all the best with their future endeavors.
Without further ado, please give a warm welcome for Mr. Atte Palokangas, the new drummer of BIB. He is an absolute BEAST of a drummer and a perfect fit for the band."

Atte commented:
"I'm honored, excited and thankful for this opportunity! I can't wait for the future adventures with the guys!"

Happy New Year!

For us, 2017 was an unforgettable year:
- We signed with Nuclear Blast Records, the best metal label in the world
- Released our very first music video "Blind And Frozen" which has more than 2,2 million views already in less than 4 months... See more
- Signed a management deal with Till Dawn They Count Ltd
- Released our debut album, "Berserker"
- Signed a booking deal with Contra Promotion GmbH and Fullsteam Agency
- Went on tour with W.A.S.P., although it ended sooner than expected
- Supported Beyond the Black in Germany for two weeks; we had nice memories and had a great time together, which made the band's spirit even stronger.
- Announced tons of summer festivals for 2018 and a short Japan run.
- Announced a tour for spring supporting the reunited Rhapsody...

Well, can we expect better for next year? YES, of course!!!!
As long as you are with us, we are stronger and stronger year by year. 2018 will be a “MURDER” for us, as our management says.
Some great things are not announced yet, but be sure, we will go everywhere we can to unleash the Beast!

Thanks for your support, friends and fans; have fun, and we’ll meet soon!
Atte, Kasperi, Mate, Anton, Yannis, Sami

The Blind And Frozen music video is out today!

Ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present to you our very first music video!
It was directed by Ville Lipiäinen and shot in a mystic castle in Northern Finland on 25 March 2017.

We've officially launched a Beast In Black Instagram page today!

Our debut album “Berserker” is set for release in November 2017, and it continues in the style of Anton’s previously composed works, including the first three Battle Beast albums. One of the essential themes on this album is a Japanese manga and anime, "Berserk" .... See more
The album cover art deserves a special mention as well, since it marks the return of the collaboration between Anton and Roman Ismailov who was the original illustrator and graphic artist for Battle Beast.
The time is drawing near. The newborn Beast is back with a vengeance, rising from the abyss with fortitude to spew its unrivaled heavy metal fury all over the world!
The Beast is back, the BEAST IN BLACK!

BEAST IN BLACK - sign with Nuclear Blast + debut album "Berserker" due in November!

International heavy metallers Beast In Black are ready to strike with might and main!... See more The band with former Battle Beast guitarist Anton Kabanen will release their debut album titled "Berserker", in November. Its cover artwork marks the return of the collaboration between Anton and Roman Ismailov who was the original illustrator and graphic artist for BATTLE BEAST. Additionally the band can proudly announce that they have signed a worldwide record deal with the famous heavy metal powerhouse Nuclear Blast. More info on BEAST IN BLACK's debut album coming soon...!

Anton Kabanen stated: "Our wildest dreams came true when we made a deal with Nuclear Blast, the biggest and the best heavy metal label in the world! We are thrilled about our debut album release in November and besides the massive anthem-like heavy metal songs we'll promise unforgettable live shows all around the world as we unleash the "Berserker" album!"

The five-piece, Helsinki based heavy metal band BEAST IN BLACK was founded by Anton Kabanen soon after he had parted ways with BATTLE BEAST in 2015. By the end of 2015 the band played their first gig as opening act for NIGHTWISH. The making of "Berserker" was already in progress back then and it was completed in summer 2017. A deal was signed with Nuclear Blast almost immediately after the completion of the album.

"Berserker" continues in the style of Anton's previously composed works which include the first three BATTLE BEAST albums. One of the essential themes on this debut album is the Japanese manga and anime "Berserk".

BEAST IN BLACK are:
Yannis Papadopoulos - vocals
Mate Molnar - bass
Sami Hänninen - drums
Kasperi Heikkinen - guitars
Anton Kabanen - guitars, vocals

Our debut album got its final touches from Mika Jussila in Finnvox studios!

While working hard on our debut album, we received an invitation to the biggest Finnish metal event, Tuska Festival!
This is currently the only Beast In Black show scheduled for this year, so if you want to see the band on stage in 2016, be there!

We are back in Espoo Metro Areena to support Sabaton, Stratovarius and Gamma Ray on 19 December 2015!

We are proud to announce the very first Beast In Black show!
On 13 November 2015 we are going to warm up the stage for the legendary Nightwish in Espoo Metro Areena!

Running order:
18:30 - Doors
20:15 - Beast in Black
21:30 - Nightwish

Hoping to see many of you in front of the stage!

This weekend we gathered in Helsinki to meet each other for the first time, to have fun and to do some rehearsals for the first Beast In Black show which will happen on the 13th of November 2015.
So we count this weekend, more accurately the 7th of October 2015, the foundation of Beast In Black with the following members:

Yannis Papadopoulos - vocals
Anton Kabanen - guitars
Kasperi Heikkinen - guitars
Mate Molnar - bass
Sami Hänninen - drums
