Formed in Helsinki, Finland, in 2008, Battle Beast takes all the elements of ‘80s metal and turns them into a glorious pyrotechnic spectacle. Fronted by female vocalist Noora Louhimo—and before her, Eero Sipilä—the band conjures the sort of sweeping, cinematic songs that are perfectly suited to soundtrack your favourite big-budget fantasy action movie. If you're a fan of Manowar, Judas Priest, Heart or anything in between, Battle Beast is sure to ensnare you in its surge.
