every reaction video to this song, almost without fail: *synth starts* "okay..." *guitars start* "Alright!" *metal scream* "Yes!" *verse begins* "Wait what how"

[@fredrickcuriosity6368]

It’s the epitome of musical whiplash.

[@paultgreen]

Had only hears this on Spotify. It came up on my gym videos today and I nearly dropped the weights when I realised it was the same dude singing.. My reaction was basically Alex's but with a near miss from a dumbbell.

​@@paultgreen been listening to Beast in Black for like three weeks before I realized that the lead singer is a dude xD

[@SortenRavn]

Eh he should already know that genre.. Since last ABC he checked out R: Rhapsody of Fire (Emerald sword) #justsaying 😏

[@bethanymcpherson595]

This song gives major power metal chords and themes and progression. And also the amaranthe song he listened to also had that feel but I’m unfamiliar with the rest of these two bands work so idk if they’re both full power metal but this is pretty cool.

[@annieogorman1985]

I had tickets to see Beast in Black open for Hammerfall, and then the pandemic happened 🥲. Maybe some day!

You ask “why is this the first time I am hearing this?”. It’s simple. You do rarely react to European bands anymore, I kind of only see American bands on your channel nowadays. You should definitely check out Yannis cover of “ghost live score”. It’s amazing. Cheers, William

Beast in black- Making 80's Metal great again!! One of my greatest discoveries in 2018. Saw them as an opener for nightwish! Freaking fun. The drumer is like animal (from muppets) on speed! and Yannis voice is like cotton candy! Their both records are bangers. Have fun! And I hope you react to more songs of them. Great reaction!

[@thedangerzone9399]

Alex asked a question, "What type of metal is this". Answer is the best kind of metal, Finnish metal.

[@xiphos8219]

Finnish Anime metal. Fun fact the vast majority of Beast in Black's music (and pretty much all of From Hell with Love and Berserker) is based on the Berserk anime. The reason the guy in this video freaked out when she grabbed the necklace and she had dark visions when she found it with the dead face etc. Is that necklace is an artifact from hell in Berserk that basically steals your soul and makes you act without remorse.

[@lubyricabt9639]
