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

Touch In The Night
Battle Beast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One will stand one will fall
Broken I can't go on
An act of despair is what I seek
Give me your love tonight
You're burning up but I'm still cold
Give me a place to hide from this horrendous emptiness inside
Can you help me?
I wanna feel your touch in the night
Unpure is my dark delight
What a lustful sight before these eyes oh darling
I'm gonna feel the wrath of the king 'cause touching you was a sin
I'm a victim of my own desire
Was my destiny
decided by the hand of God
Staring at memories will I find the answer there?
Will I?
Here I am in the dark chained to demise and agony
Madness is creeping in 'cause what I see cannot be real
Or can it?
I wanna feel your touch in the night
Unpure is my dark delight
What a lustful sight before these eyes oh darling
I'm gonna feel the wrath of the king 'cause touching you was a sin
I'm a victim of my own desire
I can't resist you no more
Take me to heaven before I am gone
The lyrics to Battle Beast's song "Touch In The Night" describe a conflicted and desperate yearning for love and physical touch in the midst of darkness and emptiness. The first verse speaks of a struggle between two opposing forces - night and dawn, wherein one will triumph over the other. The singer feels broken and unable to go on, seeking a distraction from their own despair in the form of love. They express a desire to be warmed by the touch of the person they are addressing, even though they themselves feel cold. They view this person as a refuge from the emptiness inside them and are ultimately pleading for their assistance.
The second verse explores the idea of fate and whether the singer's own destiny was determined by a higher power. They question whether staring at their memories will help them find answers to their inner turmoil, and they feel trapped in the darkness and chained to their own demise. The madness referred to in the lyrics is a result of what they see and feel, which may or may not be real. The chorus repeats the singer's desire to be touched, emphasizing the impurity of their desire and the potential cost of indulging in it. The last line of the song speaks to the urgency of the singer's longing, as they fear they will be gone before they have a chance to experience the heaven they seek in the touch of the person they desire.

When the night meets the dawn
The beginning of a new day and the end of the night
One will stand one will fall
Only one can survive, while the other will fail
Broken I can't go on
I am damaged and cannot continue like this
An act of despair is what I seek
I desire something that will reflect hopelessness
Give me your love tonight
I need your affection and attention
You're burning up but I'm still cold
You're passionate, but I'm not
Give me a place to hide from this horrendous emptiness inside
I need a place to stay away from the hollowness that lurks within me
Can you help me?
Do you have the capability of aiding me?
I wanna feel your touch in the night
I desire to feel you while darkness surrounds us
Unpure is my dark delight
I am content with impure pleasure
What a lustful sight before these eyes oh darling
I find your image arousing, my dear
I'm gonna feel the wrath of the king 'cause touching you was a sin
I may receive punishment for my actions
I'm a victim of my own desire
I am restrained by my own yearnings
Was my destiny decided by the hand of God
Did a deity choose my future?
Staring at memories will I find the answer there?
Will my solution come to me while reflecting on my remembrances?
Will I?
Is it possible?
Here I am in the dark chained to demise and agony
I am confined to misery and suffering in the shadows
Madness is creeping in 'cause what I see cannot be real
Insanity is closing in on me because what I am observing appears preposterous
Or can it?
Perhaps it can.
I can't resist you no more
I cannot hold back any longer
Take me to heaven before I am gone
Bring me to paradise before I disappear

Man, the 80's vibe in this song is incredible. I love this song to death! Long live Battle Beast!!!!!
@SimoExMachina2
I was born in the 80's, and I approve this song. Really reminds me of those good old days of non-pc entertainment, masculine movie stars, unapologedic rockers, play grounds without every kid wearing a helmet while playing in the swing, Johnny Lawrence being the true hero of Karate Kid, etc.
@paulrevere217
nothing wrong with a bit of 80s synth worship in my metal
@Exodon2020
+Paul Revere it sounds awesome - nothing else matters IMO
@TomasCorvidea
I would just love to see women wearing three sizes too tight high cut painted on looking stone wash jeans again.
@user-qt9vn1yj8x
Finally someone made it! 80th nostalgia synth + classic H'n'H!
@SWREngineering
My wife wore that 2 days ago.. she turned heads. Many....
@TomasCorvidea
SWREngineering I envy you, you have good taste in women.
@FatGuyReviews.935
Man I absolutely love Anton's songwriting. 80's synth mixed with heavy metal is pure bliss.
@benjaminA.stantonpun
Battle Beast shows us here that even modern metal folk must either love or at least respect 80’s synth. This is the first song I ever heard from them. This is where my love for them was first planted.
