  Beast In Black is a Helsinki-based international heavy metal band whose sound fuses powerful riffs

  with melodic hooks, dance-metal energy, and the drama of 1980s pop and electronic music. Lyrically,

  they draw on dark fantasy and sci-fi themes, with a particular passion for the manga Berserk. Known

  for their explosive live shows, the band has released three acclaimed albums, a string of singles and

  videos, and even collaborated on a video game. Their breakout video “Blind And Frozen” has

  surpassed 50 million views on YouTube.

  THE PAST...

  Beast In Black was founded in 2015 by guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen. The original line-up

  featured Kabanen, vocalist Yannis Papadopoulos, guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen, bassist Máté Molnár,

  and drummer Sami Hänninen, later replaced in 2017 by Atte Palokangas.

  Their debut album Berserker (2017) stormed the Finnish charts, earning platinum status, and their

  follow-up From Hell With Love (2019) also went platinum, cementing their reputation as one of the

  most exciting new forces in metal. During this period, they supported major acts such

  as Nightwish in arenas, while their first headline tour drew over 1,000 fans per night.

  THE PRESENT...

  In 2021 the band released their third album, Dark Connection, which debuted at number one in

  Finland and quickly went gold. By this stage, Beast In Black had become one of Finland’s most

  successful metal exports. They headlined tours across Europe, North and South America, and Japan,

  now averaging 2,500 fans per show, and appeared on the main stages of premier European festivals

  including Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and Graspop.

  THE FUTURE

  Beast In Black show no signs of slowing down. In June 2024 they released the standalone

  single “Power Of The Beast”, described by Kabanen as the band’s first “Super Eurobeast” anthem.

  Later that year they were confirmed as special guests on Helloween’s 40th anniversary European

  tour in autumn 2025.

  In April 2025 the band unveiled a high-profile collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo

  IV and Berserk, tied to the game’s eighth season Belial’s Return, releasing the single “Enter The

  Behelit” as its soundtrack.

  The band’s highly anticipated fourth album is scheduled for release in May 2026.
