1) Battle Beast is a Finnish heavy metal / power metal band established in Helsinki in 2005. The initial line-up consisted of guitarists, Juuso Soinio and Anton Kabanen, and drummer Pyry Vikki, who were high school friends. 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; 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. With the news of her departure, came the announcement of a new lead singer Noora Louhimo from Tampere, Finland. With Louhimo in the band, Battle Beast started another European tour in November, this time supporting the Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica.
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. 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 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..
In January 2014, Battle Beast was announced one of the five nominees for the best Finnish metal album in the national Emma-gaala awards.
In January 2015, Battle Beast released their third album Unholy Savior, topping the Finnish album chart on its release week. 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. 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. The album was also their first to reach the top 20 in Germany, debuting at #14 on its release week. 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. The band performed in Japan for the first time in September 2017.
On 22 March 2019, Battle Beast released their fifth studio album, 'No More Hollywood Endings'. On 4 October 2021, the band announced their sixth studio album, 'Circus of Doom'. It was released on 21 January 2022

Let It Roar
Battle Beast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeking directions back to Earth
My heartbeat's everlasting
I fear not the unknown
The thought of you drives me on
Just let it roar
There is hell inside of me that no one knows
Put your fire in my soul
I race the cosmic storm winds
To see you once again
Deep inside I know I fool myself
But I don't care
This endless journey will never take me home
I carry in me hopeless love
Just let it roar
There is hell inside of me that no one knows
Just let it roar, oh baby
Put your fire in my soul
I ride a silver angel, I've circled every star
I've touched the edge of the universe
But the closer I try to get to you
The more far away I'll be
I wanna scream!
Just let it roar
There is hell inside of me that no one knows
Just let it roar, oh baby
Put your fire in my soul
Let it roar!
These lyrics tell a story of a space traveler on a distant planet, Planet X, who is trying to find their way back to Earth. The traveler's heart beats with a lasting passion and determination, unafraid of the unknown that lies ahead in the journey back home. Despite the vastness of the universe, the traveler is driven by the thought of their lover and the fire they ignite within their soul.
The traveler faces challenges and obstacles on their journey back home, racing against cosmic storms and even fooling themselves at times. Despite this, the traveler seems to carry a deep sense of love that keeps them going, even though it seems hopeless at times. The traveler rides a "silver angel" and touches the edge of the universe in their pursuit, reaching as far as they can to get closer to their lover, only to find that the closer they get, the further away they seem to be.
The chorus urges the listener to let out the "roar" within them - a fiery passion and drive that no one knows about. The traveler wants their lover to "put your fire in my soul," as they continue on their endless journey with the hope that someday they'll reach their destination.

on Dancing with the Beast
Am I dead or just asleep?
Did I dive into the deep?
I′m lost in black
I see no wound, I see no blood
But I'm buried the mud
Can′t find my way back
I am coming out of hell
I saw how angels fell
I'm not the same
Just watch me coming out of hell
I'm still here, alive and well
I′m not the same anymore
Like in endless dream
I am dancing with the beast
Faster and faster
Spinning in this twisted feast
I am dancing with the beast
Running on melting ice
It was the last roll of the dice
Every time
Oh, it hounds me when I fall
In the shadows on the wall
I hear it′s call
In a nightmare, not asleep
Without light and without dreams
The beast is in me
A creature from the other side
It's walking by my side
All this time
It is burning but won′t kill
I still have my mind and will
I save my last dance for me
Like in endless dream
I am dancing with the beast
Faster and faster
Spinning in this twisted feast
I am dancing with the beast
Running on melting ice
It was the last roll of the dice
Every time
I'm dancing with the beast
I′m dancing with the beast
I'm dancing with the beast
I′m dancing with the beast
Like in endless dream
I am dancing with the beast
Faster and faster
Spinning in this twisted feast
I am dancing with the beast
Running on melting ice
It was the last roll of the dice
Every time hoidetaan
