The Story
A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.
āThe BEAST is back, the BEAST IN BLACK!ā Haunting words recalling āBerserkerā, BEAST IN BLACKās debut album, which was finally released in November 2017. Although it never actually felt as if the BEAST had been away entirely. Right after the departure from his former band BATTLE BEAST, BEAST IN BLACKās founder Anton Kabanen recruited new companions in the way of high-pitched vocalist Yannis Papadopoulos (WARDRUM), bassist Mate Molnar (WISDOM), guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen (U.D.O.) and last but not least drummer Atte Palokangas (THUNDERSTONE), who officially replaced Sami HƤnninen in early 2018.
āBerserkerā not only allowed BEAST IN BLACK to enter the hearts of many people all around the globe, but also gave them the keys to the gates of the worldās stages! The accompanying touring cycle kicked off in October 2017 in the form of a few European shows supporting the legendary W.A.S.P. followed by select shows opening for Germanyās BEYOND THE BLACK. The BEAST started 2018 with two sold out headlining gigs in Finland, the home country of Anton, Kasperi and Atte. But there was no rest for the wicked, as the group joined Italian symphonic metallers RHAPSODY Reunion on their extensive ā20th Anniversay Farewell Tourā across Europe, where the band visited a number of countries and cities for the first time ever. The summer saw BEAST IN BLACK playing several festival gigs, many of which were in Finland. To worthily close the āBerserkerā live chapter, the band returned to where their live career had begun back in 2015 - supporting Finnish symphonic metal giants NIGHTWISH in front of several thousand fans in November & December 2018.
The band secretly forged 11 new tracks which comprise their highly-anticipated sophomore record āFrom Hell With Loveā. The album was once again recorded in Antonās own Sound Request Studio, and true to the motto āNever change a winning teamā, the cover artwork was created by Roman Ismailov who worked on āBerserkerā. Although BEAST IN BLACKās new tunes musically fit into a similar vein as their debut album, the lyrics havenāt only been inspired by the aforementioned āBerserkā, but also by other movies and TV series Anton is a huge fan of, as well as personal experiences once again.
