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

Out Of Control
Battle Beast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're just in time for the show
Welcome to my world of darkness
A place where unreal becomes real
Come drink my blood, wake the demon in me
Come taste the wine of my sins
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are out of control
You can't find a shelter in Hellspace
Under my black wings of doom
The wind in the wasteland is howling
It's the wailing of ghosts of the past
Swing 'cross the ocean of pleasure and pain
Into my fatal embrace
Out of control,
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are
Out of control
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are out of control, whoa yeah!
Out of control
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control,
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are
Out of control
Without any fear of facing the madman
Out of control,
Defying the Gods of Hell
You are
Out of control (out of control)
Out of control
The lyrics of Battle Beast's song "Out of Control" speak of a kingdom of madness, a world of darkness where the unreal becomes real. The singer invites the listener to come and drink their blood, to wake the demon inside them, and taste the wine of their sins. It is a call to give in to their darkest impulses and embrace the darkness, to let go of control and enter a state of abandonment where nothing matters but the pleasure of the moment. The singer promises to provide shelter under their black wings of doom, to guide the listener through the ocean of pleasure and pain, but warns that there is no escape from the past that howls in the wind.
The repeated chorus builds up the idea of being out of control and facing the madman, defying the gods of hell, and embracing that state of abandon where the listener becomes the master of their own destiny. The lyrics explore the theme of madness and the search for freedom and empowerment through surrendering to one's darkest impulses.

Noora has to be one of the most badass metal chicks in the business. It's amazing how easily she can change her vocal range. I can't wait for the day I see her in concert.

Me too
Oskari Hattula
I've seen her a few times live, in fact im from the same city that Noora was born in.

The way Noora Louhimo shifts from mellow voice to a harsh, husky one is simply amazing!

Battle Beast and Sabaton should play this song together. Not separately, but TOGETHER.
