Finnish powerhouse BATTLE BEAST storms forward with unrelenting force, dropping their electrifying, highly anticipated seventh studio album "Steelbound" on October 17th, 2025.
Moving fluently between classic metal, superpowered synthesizers, and symphonic realms — even embracing '80s-tinged hard rock — these Helsinki heavy metal hitmakers have created a musical palette that’s powerful, engaging, and—above all—fun.
Ever since their humble beginnings with 2011’s "Steel", each subsequent release has seen the band grow like an impending snowball of doom, earning them a loyal following. Released in 2022, the band’s sixth album, "Circus of Doom" — their fourth consecutive chart-topper in their home country — saw the sextet selling out sizeable venues all across the globe.
With "Steelbound", the band now opens an exciting new chapter that offers very heavy tracks such as 'Last Goodbye', flirts with pop on 'Angel Of Midnight', unapologetic party anthems like 'Here We Are', and the empowering title song. "Steelbound" is a thunderous monument of defiance and resilience, an earnest battle cry for all who have ever been dismissed, diminished, or silenced and also a big slab of positivity and joy. Throw your worries into the next trash can, at least for 38 minutes and sing, dance, headbang, do whatever feels right!
After a highly successful tour supporting “Steelbound”, in December 2025 vocalist Noora Louhimo announced her departure from BATTLE BEAST. Her successor is Marina La Toracca (Exit Eden, ex Phantom Elite) who adds a whole new level of dedication and energy to the group, and celebrated an intense baptism of fire debuting on stage in March 2026 in Osaka, Japan, followed by shows in Australia and China, and a massive European festival season. Be excited for the next chapter in the history of BATTLE BEAST!
