Hailing from the southern edge of Finland, BATTLE BEAST were founded in 2008 and established themselves with their trademark pure crunching riffs, high screams, blistering solos and strong choruses. Following the success of their eponymous second creation »Battle Beast«, which charted at an amazing #5 in their native Finland and cracked the German Top 100, BATTLE BEAST are now set to release their third studio album entitled »Unholy Savior«. It will be out on January 09 (EU), January 12 (UK) and January 13 (US) 2015 via Nuclear Blast.
“I thirst to go further as a human being, and the music on this album represents a part of the ongoing spiritual journey - that's what I tend to call it - which is my road onward. Music-wise the songs have been expanded to a wider area as an effort to call out emotions close to those I had myself during the times of birth of these songs,” commented guitarist & vocalist Anton Kabanen about the upcoming new BATTLE BEAST album »Unholy Savior«.
“Like always, I wrote songs about a manga and anime series "Berserk", as well, and the reason behind writing songs about that particular series is that I can strongly relate to that, especially to certain characters and to their way of thinking and feeling,” Anton adds.
The Track listing for »Unholy Savior« will be as follows:
1. Lionheart
2. Unholy Savior
3. I Want The World….And Everything In It
4. Madness
5. Sea Of Dreams
6. Speed And Danger
7. Touch In The Night
8. The Black Swordsman
9. Hero’s Quest
10. Far Far Away
11. Angel Cry
Just in time for the release of »Unholy Savior« on January 09, BATTLE BEAST will embark on a European tour with Swedish label mates & metal heroes SABATON, who did not only invite the band to play at their very own Sabaton Open Air, but also feature a cover version of BATTLE BEAST’s ‘Out Of Control’ as a bonus track on their current charting success »Heroes«.
