Beast in Black is a Finnish heavy metal band that was founded in 2015 in Helsinki by guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen.
The musical influences of the band include Judas Priest, Manowar, W.A.S.P., Accept and Black Sabbath.[2]
History[edit]
Anton Kabanen founded the band in 2015 after he left his former band Battle Beast earlier in the same year.[3] Like Battle Beast, the band's name is a tribute to the Japanese manga and anime series Berserk.
Beast in Black signed with the Nuclear Blast label and released the first album, Berserker in November 3, 2017, which received a very positive response worldwide.[4] The debut album ranked seventh on Finnish charts albums. In addition, Berserker also charted in Germany, United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland and France.[5]
On February 7, 2018 it was announced that Atte Palokangas will replace Sami Hänninen as the permanent drummer.[6] The band includes, among others, the Greek vocalist Yannis Papadopoulos and Kasperi Heikkinen (former guitarist of bands as U.D.O., Amberian Dawn, Iconofear, etc.).
On March 21, 2018, it was announced that Beast In Black will be opening for Nightwish on the European leg of the Decades: World Tour.[7]
The band's second album, From Hell with Love, was released on February 8, 2019.[8] After the release of the album the band plans on touring Europe together with the Finnish industrial metal band Turmion Kätilöt from February 27 to 30 March.[9]
