The rest of the original lineup, bassist Eero Sipilä, keytarist Janne Björkroth, and lead singer Nitte Valo, joined the band after auditions. Before gaining a record contract, Battle Beast was best known for having won two major band competitions in year 2010: the international Wacken Metal Battle 2010, participated by thousands of bands from all around the world, whose final stage was held at the famed German metal festival Wacken Open Air;[1] soon after that, the band was announced the winner of Radio Rock Starba, a band competition held by the major Finnish radio station Radio Rock. With their victory in the Finnish competition the band received intense media exposure, and before the end of 2010 they had signed a record deal with the Finnish label Hype Records.
Battle Beast's first album, titled Steel, was released in Finland in Spring 2011. With the support of the two singles, "Show Me How to Die" and "Enter the Metal World", and their heavy airplay on Radio Rock, the album peaked at No. 7 upon its release.[2] Although released only in Finland, the album soon caught the attention of the international metal label Nuclear Blast, with whom the band signed a licensing deal in late 2011.[3] A reissue of Steel, which included one bonus track, was released to the European market in January 2012. The band was voted at the third place in the list for Newcomer Of The Year 2011 at the Finnish Metal Awards in February 2012.[4] To support the European release of Steel, Battle Beast toured for the first time as opening act for their countrymen Nightwish in many European dates of the Imaginaerum World Tour.[5] The tour was reported a success by both bands. On the final show of the tour Nightwish paid their respects to the support band by performing a cover of "Show Me How to Die" as a part of their acoustic set.
In Autumn 2012, after touring the Finnish rock festivals for the summer, Nitte Valo was announced to be leaving the band because of family issues.[6] With the news of her departure, came the announcement of a new lead singer Noora Louhimo from Tampere, Finland.[6] With Louhimo in the band, Battle Beast started another European tour in November, this time supporting the Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica.[7]
After the tour, the band immediately went into studio to record their second album. The label Hype Productions had gone out of business and the band moved on to Warner Music Finland, with Nuclear Blast still handling international releases. The first single with Noora Louhimo on vocals, "Into the Heart of Danger" was released on 26 April 2013, followed by the album Battle Beast on 17 May 2013.[8] Another single and a music video for the song "Black Ninja" was released to coincide with the release of the album. The album topped the sales of its predecessor easily, peaking at No. 5 and staying on the charts for 17 weeks.[9] The album also charted on various European countries including Germany. The following autumn Battle Beast headed on another European tour, this time supporting the German bands Powerwolf and U.D.O..[10]
In January 2014, Battle Beast was announced one of the five nominees for the best Finnish metal album in the national Emma-gaala awards.[11]
In January 2015, Battle Beast released their third album Unholy Savior, topping the Finnish album chart on its release week.[12] Soon after a European tour supporting Sabaton, in February 2015 the band parted ways with Anton Kabanen with both parties citing musical disagreements and other unsolvable issues within the band.[13][14] He was replaced by Ossi Maristo and keyboardist Janne Björkroth's brother, Joona Björkroth, on a sessional basis. Joona Björkroth became a permanent member in 2016. Anton Kabanen moved on to form Beast In Black.
The first single with the renewed line-up "King For a Day" was released in January 2016, immediately picking up heavy airplay in Finland's Radio Rock, followed by another single "Familiar Hell" in early 2017. Battle Beast released their fourth album Bringer of Pain on February 17, 2017 again topping the charts in their homeland.[15] The album was also their first to reach the top 20 in Germany, debuting at #14 on its release week.[16] Following the release of Bringer of Pain Battle Beast went on a 5+ week European tour with support from Majesty and GYZE. They toured for the first time in North America that spring supporting Sabaton's "The Last Tour" with Leaves' Eyes.[17] The band performed in Japan for the first time in September 2017.

King For A Day
Battle Beast Lyrics
Welcome to the nightmare
Where villains wear the crowns
Fools rule a broken world
And fear grows all around
There's a bad king
A dreadful puppet on a string
He pretends to be a champion
Of the common man
Wants more division
In his lost and riven land
He plays with real lives
In the darkest game of life
His greedy eyes
Look insane, frozen smile like he's in pain
He doesn't count
The human cost but only money made or lost
King for a day
He kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
Lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
Cannot save you anymore
King for a day
He knows how to justify
And how to feed the myths
How to glorify
The lies and hide the truth
He talks a lot but
His mouth is full of empty words
He has the right friends
Making shady inside deals
Before the story ends
We will be out of tears
Fools give the answers
Wise men don't even try
The time has come
To dethrone him but there's a new clone stepping in
Just more scum
Another greedy, rotten puppet on a string
King for a day
He kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
Lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
Cannot save you anymore
King for a day
"I own the seas
I have the Earth on its knees
Give me another day
And I'll take your future away
Just vote for me again"
King for a day
He kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
Lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
Cannot save you anymore
King for a day

How can a band like Battle Beast have so many awesome songs and NOT be known world wide????

I am Italian and I like them, so they DO are internationally known 😅
Patrick Sharpe
@Harri I'm an American and I agree with such statements...never be anything more than yourself even if it costs you notoriety. Better music is worth the trade off 100%!

BEAST IN BLACK cool. Greek can sing everything

Went to Sabaton's concert in Chicago and had no knowledge that they were touring with Battle Beast. Seeing them start the show blew my fucking mind. And she sounds just as good as she does in video. Will never forget that day.

@Cerberus that gavel pounding WAS on time with the tempo...

I literally read "she pounds just as good as she does in video"
