Review by RAJIV KUMAR

Battle Beast’s Self-Titled Roar: A Heavy Metal Triumph If you’re a fan of fist-pumping anthems, soaring vocals, and riffs that feel like they were forged in the fires of Valhalla, then Battle Beast—the self-titled album from the Finnish metal juggernaut—is your ticket to headbanging nirvana. Released in 2013 under Nuclear Blast (and a handful of other labels across Russia, Finland, Germany, and beyond), this record isn’t just an album—it’s a battle cry. The genres here are all over the place but in the best way possible. You’ve got Power Metal’s grandiosity, Heavy Metal’s grit, and Speed Metal’s relentless energy. It’s like someone took the best parts of Iron Maiden, Accept, and maybe even a dash of Nightwish and threw them into a blender. What comes out is pure adrenaline. Let’s talk tracks. While the whole album slaps, two songs really stuck with me: “Let It Roar” and “Out of Control.” “Let It Roar” hits hard right off the bat. The opening riff grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. Noora Louhimo’s vocals? Absolutely killer. She belts out every line like she’s summoning thunder itself. And when the chorus kicks in—man, it’s impossible not to shout along. This track feels like standing on top of a mountain with a sword in one hand and a beer in the other. Pure escapist fun. Then there’s “Out of Control,” which starts with these pounding drums courtesy of Pyry Vikki before exploding into chaos. Anton Kabanen’s guitar work shines here—he’s shredding so fast you might need a neck brace after listening. What makes this song unforgettable is how it balances melody and aggression. One second you’re humming along to the catchy hook, and the next you’re losing your mind during the solo. It’s wild, unpredictable, and totally addictive. The production deserves a shoutout too. Janne Björkroth pulls double duty as both co-producer and mixer, and he nails it. Everything sounds crisp without losing that raw edge that makes metal what it is. Mika Jussila’s mastering adds an extra layer of polish, making sure each instrument cuts through the mix. Claudio Bergamin’s artwork? Bold, striking, and fitting for the band’s larger-than-life vibe. Now, some people might say this album tries to do too much. With styles ranging from Power Metal to Speed Metal, it can feel a bit scattered at times. But honestly? That’s part of its charm. Battle Beast refuses to be boxed in, and their willingness to experiment keeps things fresh. Plus, who else could pull off bonus tracks like “Shutdown” without sounding repetitive? Here’s the thing about Battle Beast: it’s more than just another metal album. It’s a reminder of why we love this genre in the first place—the passion, the intensity, the sense of community. Listening to it feels like joining a secret club where everyone speaks the universal language of loud music and louder emotions. And hey, here’s a weird thought: if aliens ever invade Earth, I’d put my money on playing this album to scare them away. If that wall of sound doesn’t send them running back to their home planet, nothing will. Final verdict? 8.5/10. Not perfect, but damn close.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know that the album *Battle Beast* by the Finnish metal band Battle Beast was a global effort, released in multiple countries like Russia, Finland, Germany, and even as far as Argentina and Japan? It’s wild how a mix of heavy metal and power metal can bring people together across continents. The album had tracks like "Let It Roar" and "Out of Control," which were pure energy. Oh, and here’s a fun tidbit: Anton Kabanen, one of the masterminds behind the music, not only played guitar but also co-produced, engineered, and mixed the album. Talk about wearing multiple hats!

The first album with female singer Noora Louhimo (before she would have become the lone lead singer on the band's third album) is titled like the band: talk about imagination. Stylistically, the album follows the pompous Pop/Rock of the band with faster rhythms and horrible screaming by male vocalist/guitarist Anton Kabanen. Most of the songs, however, flow like fillers and come in and go leaving little to remember, even the quiet interlude "Golden Age". Nothing specialHighlights: "Let It Roar", "Rain Man".

Night sky is glowing, city ablaze
Worldwide chaos spreading like a fire
Cybernetic fingers rewiring human brains
Obedient and evil, freedom's calling

Raven, the witness of mankind's destruction
Raven!
Raven, black symbol of death in the sky, wow!

Cutting-edge technology, a tool of self-demise
Brain-dead cyborg armies terrorize
Virtual reality, Hell or paradise?
Once you're in you can't get out
Freedom's calling

Raven, the witness of mankind's destruction
Raven!
Raven, black symbol of death in the sky

Some of us escaped to sewers and caves
Living with the rats in nuclear waste
Cybernetic soldiers demolishing our homes
Run or die! Freedom's calling

Raven, the witness of mankind's destruction
Raven!
Raven, black symbol of death in the sky
Raven, the witness of mankind's destruction
Raven!
Raven, black symbol of death in the sky

The fire in my soul has been ignited once again. I feel the blood of my ancestors coursing through my veins, calling to me, saying "what the hell are you doing in the bathroom! You've been in there for 10 minutes, give someone else a chance!"

Still, epic song.
