Founded by songwriter and musical trailblazer, Anton Kabanen, Beast in Black proudly nurture an orthodox heavy metal ethos without ever sacrificing on quality. Drawing their inspiration from Judas Priest, Manowar, W.A.S.P. and other masters of the Golden Age of Metal Music, Beast in Black have recently released their second album, From Hell With Love. This notably impressive new album is testament to the fact that the band belongs in the pantheon of kick-ass metal.
In addition to many ingenious elements drawn from the hard rock and power metal traditions of the 1980s, the beauty of Beast in Black lies in their first-class guitar wizardry, super-catchy melodies and insanely good riffs. The band's gigs are a truly vigorous experience with the lead vocalist Yannis Papadopoulos and the rest of the band infecting everyone in the audience with their explosive energy and enthusiasm. If you’re looking to wrap up your day at the Ilosaarirock festival in style, look no further than these metallic beasts for a seriously good romp.
