Now Playing: Battle Beast

If you’re not listening to Battle Beast right now, what the hell are you doing with your life? Seriously. Put down whatever flavorless garbage you’ve been spinning, and dive headfirst into this Finnish power metal onslaught. I’m talking riffs that feel like a punch in the face, vocals that scorch your eardrums, and melodies that worm into your brain like a sweet, metallic virus. Today, we’re going track-by-track through a playlist so stacked it’ll make you question why other bands even bother to try.

1. Out of Control

Let’s kick things off with “Out of Control”, because apparently, we’re diving straight into the maelstrom. The track opens like it’s daring you to survive the next few minutes, with relentless riffs and Noora Louhimo’s voice that could summon gods. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’re leading an army into battle, this is the anthem. The song sets the tone for what Battle Beast is all about: epic, aggressive, and unapologetically larger than life.

2. Out on the Streets

Immediately following the chaos of “Out of Control,” we shift gears a bit with “Out on the Streets.” This song still brings the energy, but with a bit more swagger. It’s like the band decided to take a breather, step outside, light a cigarette, and say, “Yeah, we own this.” It’s got that 80s rock vibe but dipped in modern metal aggression. Some will whine about the cheesy undertones, but honestly, if you’re not into a bit of cheese with your metal, then you’re not having any fun.

3. Straight to the Heart

“Straight to the Heart” does exactly what it says. This one’s a blast of pure adrenaline straight to your core. Noora’s vocals soar like a Valkyrie on a mission, and the band cranks the energy to max levels. It’s catchy as hell, and anyone who can’t appreciate the tight musicianship and killer chorus is probably dead inside. Seriously. This track should be illegal in countries that ban fun.

4. King for a Day

This track, “King for a Day,” is a power trip. Imagine strutting down a street wearing a crown, flipping off everyone you pass because today, you’re in charge. The groove on this song is undeniable, and Battle Beast leans heavily into that regal, triumphant vibe. The synths are retro, the guitars are sharp, and Noora’s voice… well, if she were king for a day, there’d be no competition. Bow down.

5. Familiar Hell

Let’s talk about “Familiar Hell” for a moment. This track sounds like something that was written in the fiery pits of, well, hell. It’s got that slow-burn intensity, and there’s a sinister edge that keeps you on your toes. It’s not the most aggressive track on the list, but it’s one of those that digs into your psyche. Plus, we all live in our own little versions of hell, don’t we? Just try to argue with that and see how long you last.

6. Bastard Son of Odin

If you thought you were ready for “Bastard Son of Odin,” you weren’t. This song is about as subtle as a Viking raid. It’s brutal, fast, and unapologetic in its quest to bludgeon you with Norse mythology. Honestly, if you’re not ready to grow a beard and pillage a village after hearing this track, you might need to check your pulse.

7. God of War

Just in case you weren’t feeling powerful enough, “God of War” comes in like a lightning bolt. It’s got that driving rhythm and chant-worthy chorus that makes you want to scream the lyrics at the top of your lungs. It’s like Manowar got jacked up on adrenaline and a Battle Beast upgrade. You won’t listen to this without feeling invincible—fact.

8. Rock Trash

“Rock Trash” is exactly what the name suggests: gritty, rebellious, and sleazy in the best way possible. If you think you’re too good for a bit of musical filth, you’ve come to the wrong place. This track has that old-school, down-and-dirty rock vibe, but it’s polished to perfection by Battle Beast’s relentless energy. They’ve taken rock trash and turned it into something worth worshipping.

9. Circus of Doom

Here’s where Battle Beast gets weird, but in the most theatrical way possible. “Circus of Doom” throws you into a twisted carnival of sound, with eerie synths, a driving beat, and a freakshow of a chorus. It’s a metal circus, and you’ve got a front-row ticket to the madness. Some people are terrified of clowns. I’m terrified of this song—and I mean that in the best possible way.

10. Eye of the Storm

“Eye of the Storm” sounds like what it feels to stare down a hurricane and laugh in its face. It’s one of those epic, cinematic tracks that could be the soundtrack to the apocalypse. You’ve got soaring vocals, thundering drums, and a sense of impending doom, all wrapped up in one glorious package. This song isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s for those ready to face down Armageddon.

11. Russian Roulette

Now we’ve got “Russian Roulette,” a track that’s just as dangerous as the name implies. It’s got that pulsing energy, like you’re spinning the chamber and waiting to see if the next shot’s the one that does you in. There’s a tension here, a sense of danger that’s almost palpable. Play this at your next party, and watch people lose their minds.

12. The Road to Avalon

We’re heading into mythical territory with “The Road to Avalon.” Battle Beast has this uncanny ability to transport you to another world, and this track is no exception. There’s a sweeping, almost majestic quality to the music here, and the lyrics have that sense of adventure. Avalon or not, this song is the perfect soundtrack for your next quest.

13. Armageddon

And here we are: “Armageddon.” It’s loud, it’s chaotic, and it’s everything you want from a metal track named after the end of the world. This is one of those songs that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until you’ve fully surrendered to its power. It’s relentless, it’s brutal, and it’s a reminder that the end of days will come with a soundtrack—and Battle Beast is writing it.

14. No More Hollywood Endings

Finally, “No More Hollywood Endings” brings the entire circus to a close, but not before reminding you that life is not a movie. This is Battle Beast kicking down the door of the fairytale factory and saying, “Nah, we don’t do that here.” There’s a sense of rebellion, a demand for something real, and a rejection of the sugar-coated nonsense we’ve all been force-fed.

15. The Golden Horde

Let’s start with “The Golden Horde.” Just the title sounds like it’s ready to decimate everything in its path. If you don’t know what the Golden Horde was, it’s time to hit the history books. But what you need to know is that Battle Beast treats it like the unstoppable force it was. This track is aggressive, fast, and absolutely relentless. It’s got a galloping rhythm that feels like an army charging over the horizon to crush anything in its path. You’ll feel like you’ve just ridden into battle yourself, and by the end, you’ll be ready to conquer anything. If this track doesn’t pump you up, you’re probably already dead.

16. My Last Dream

Here’s where things get a little introspective with “My Last Dream.” Don’t be fooled by the dreamy title—this isn’t a lullaby. This track blends epic melodies with hard-hitting rhythms, creating a kind of bittersweet anthem for the end of the world. It’s a reflection of mortality, wrapped up in power chords and soaring vocals. It’s the soundtrack for the apocalypse, but one that reminds you that even at the end, there’s beauty in the chaos. It’s the type of song that’ll make you want to punch the sky in defiance, because screw it—if this is your last dream, you’re going out fighting.

17. Justice and Metal

Now we’re back to business with “Justice and Metal.” If you’re into songs about power, defiance, and rebellion, this one’s for you. It’s an anthem for those who believe in the raw purity of heavy metal as more than just music—it’s a way of life, a code of justice. The song feels like a declaration of war against anyone who’s ever doubted the power of metal. You’ve got riffs that hit like a hammer, drums that sound like a war cry, and vocals that soar higher than any courtroom judge could ever hope to. If justice were to be served in the form of metal, this would be the soundtrack to the revolution.

18. Cyberspace

Welcome to the digital future with “Cyberspace.” This track is Battle Beast at their most sci-fi, and it’s a neon-drenched, cyberpunk banger. Picture yourself jacked into some dystopian matrix, fighting for survival against an AI overlord. That’s what this track feels like. It’s got the cold, mechanical rhythm of a machine combined with the fiery passion of human defiance. The synths add this retro-futuristic vibe, but don’t get too comfortable—it’s still packed with the raw energy you’d expect from Battle Beast. This is one for the hackers, the rebels, and the warriors of the digital age. Who said metal couldn’t embrace the future?

19. Touch In The Night

Now for something that’s going to feel a little different: “Touch In The Night.” Some might say it’s a guilty pleasure, but let’s be real, anyone who says that is just afraid to admit they love it. This track is Battle Beast leaning hard into their 80s synthwave influences, but they do it with such conviction that it just works. It’s got a bit of that “Lost Boys” vibe—a little dangerous, a little sexy, and full of nocturnal energy. Noora’s voice takes on a sultry tone here, and you’ll find yourself swept up in the vibe before you know what hit you. Turn it up, let the neon lights blind you, and lose yourself in the night. Metal doesn’t always have to punch you in the face—sometimes, it can just seduce you.

20. Far Far Away

If you’re looking for an epic adventure wrapped up in a song, “Far Far Away” has you covered. It’s the kind of track that feels like you’re setting out on a grand quest—whether that’s a literal journey across kingdoms or a metaphorical journey through life’s battles. The melody is soaring, the rhythm is driving, and the vocals are pure inspiration. You’ll want to throw on some armor, grab your sword, and charge into the unknown. It’s uplifting in that way only power metal can be, and it’ll stick with you long after the song’s done. Far Far Away is a reminder that even when the road ahead is tough, you’ve got the strength to keep pushing forward.

21. Push It to the Limit (Bonus Track)

Finally, we have “Push It to the Limit,” the bonus track that just won’t quit. If you’re not familiar with this gem, it’s a cover of the iconic 80s track from Scarface—and Battle Beast turns it into a full-blown anthem. They take the already intense, adrenaline-fueled original and crank it up to eleven. Noora’s vocals give it a ferocity that Tony Montana would be proud of, and the band adds that signature metal crunch to every note. This is how you do a cover—take a classic, make it your own, and push it beyond what anyone thought was possible. It’s the ultimate workout song, the ultimate fight song, and the ultimate “screw everything, I’m doing this” song. You want intensity? Here it is, delivered on a silver platter of riffs and power.
