Description
The metal world was in a rage when Anton Kabanen parted ways with his former band Battle Beast back in 2015. “To put it simple: When one road ends, another one begins. Isn’t that so? We wanted different things and to do them in a different way. I'm living for the music and I will die for it. Period,” Anton comments regarding the split. “Let me quote a person who said something that sums it up perfectly: ‘Art is not a matter of ‘can’, but ‘must’.’ And when you have to compromise with that it feels like the heart is filling up with poison.”

But it didn’t take much time for Anton to rise from the abyss: Only a few months later, a new five-piece beast was born in Helsinki, the Beast In Black. Anton continues, “To me Battle Beast was just a beginning, my first vision and creation, and I’m actually happy to see how well it’s going for Battle Beast since what they are doing now derives from that vision, from the first three Battle Beast albums. But now it’s time to revive the original vision, make it stronger than ever, together with my comrades, with my brothers in arms in Beast In Black!”

The album maintains the style of his previously composed works which include the first three Battle Beast albums. Influenced by 80’s metal bands such as Judas Priest, Manowar, W.A.S.P., Black Sabbath and Accept, the record is nothing but a great heavy metal album. The album’s artwork marks the return of the collaboration between Anton and Roman Ismailov who was the original illustrator and graphic artist for Battle Beast.
