Battle Beast - Black Ninja [Reaction/Review]

[@CarlosGonzalez-og1eg]

The name of the singer is Noora Louhimo and is a total powerhouse. Check “Straight to the heart”, “Let it roar”, “Beyond the burning skies” or “King for a day” among others. This band is pure fire

[@saymyname8925]

STTH, is that a Dio cover?

[@sandman5359]

That natural reaction on Noora´s first scream, love it :)!

[@blazejecar]

what if every country has ninjas but we only see the japanese ones because they're bad at their job?

[@APREACTS]

MIND>>>>BLOWN!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT.....that is insane!!!!

[@ll7868]

Canadian ninjas wear red plaid, they're easy to spot but everyone's so polite that we don't tell them.

[@riflemanwilq5343]

Vietcong ninjas-soldiers are invisible as long as they stand near any tree or bush

[@Aurinkohirvi]

I don't know but black ninja's definately cut onions sometimes when I listen Battle Beast.

[@linkiny]

Saw them yesterday in Tallinn and they played this song live. Never heard them before and my god what a great surprise. Her voice is actually that good live, one of the best live voices I've heard, so powerful and when she hits those high notes you're just left there in awe. They also have a great sound engineer who makes sure every single one is heard perfectly and the rest of the bands sounds amazing! And I don't even listen to power metal but I love them!

[@benbobby2290]

Here too, shes reaaly good.

[@miikasuominen3845]

You should check their live performances. Noora hits those notes perfectly live too, she has an unbelievable voice. And they have large amount of great material ;)

[@APREACTS]

So Noora is the name of this Goddess??? Interesting....hmmmmm

[@blazejecar]

Noora louhimo, yea it fits so well because noora in slovenian (my native language) means "insane" and that's exactly what she is

[@miikasuominen3845]

Yes, she has a really powerful voice :) Well, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHPcp5togq1la8k I think they are a must see live...

[@gammaraider]

I saw them in the Netherlands a few years ago. Friggin awesome! They were opening for some other band, I don't remember which band it was, but I remember they put the headliner to shame. Definitely in terms of power and presence

[@toni.tapola]

@@APREACTS This was their first song I ever heard&saw, back in May 2013 on KZbin - and they were coming to Tuska 2013 in June! *:)* Noora was an instant star, and a _fierce_ live performer - though she *may* have had a bit too much attitude at least back then; she was like, "Alright, _vittu!_ Now _perkele_ make some _saatanan_ noise!" ... "C'mon, _perkele_ you back there, SHOUT, _vittu_ for fuck's sake!" =D

[@TheAnriii]

Sabaton has actually done cover for one of the Battle Beast songs - Out of Control

[@FlaskTheTapir]

Pretty sure the reason a huge number of people now love Battle Beast, myself included.

[@dominikrog4822]

@@FlaskTheTapir If not Sabaton, I'm sure I wouldn't know Battle Beast to this day 😂😂😂

[@ToastedCigar]

The damn vocals blew my mind, I think I'm in love with her now too!

[@APREACTS]

Get in line, I got here first

[@ToastedCigar]

Haha :DD I see the line stretches quite far!

[@ollipartanen5917]

Battle Beast- Let it roar. Double thumbs up!

[@The_GuyWhoNeverUploadsAnything]

YES!!! The best motorcycle song imo

[@peterjackson6011]

0:35 in my head I instinctively began singing HE'S A FAT NINJAAAAAAAA

[@AnimetalViking]

This is actually the old band of the founder of Beast In Black.

[@APREACTS]

That I knew.

[@Latexi_LMX]

Older material: BATTLE BEAST - Let it roar kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn22eXltaNySm9E Latest album: BATTLE BEAST - The Eclipse kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHLPZpVqeMSdgJo BATTLE BEAST - Beyond The Burning Skies kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGfJhGWmiLWKqNk Live: BATTLE BEAST - Straight To The Heart kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmjJdaOOfp2FoKs

[@Douglesby]

Holy shit. Dio would be proud. \m/

[@wardeni9603]

;D great vid as always. I've had one of Battle Beast's songs, "King for a Day" stuck in my head for months now. They played it on the radio on constant repeat throughout spring this year. :D

[@wardeni9603]

Also, here's a great example of the quality of their live performances: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHPcp5togq1la8k

[@APREACTS]

We plan on doing that one next.

[@patkajape]

Not their best material though.

[@TheWiseGrif]

The fact that I only now realize you haven't reacted to Kamelot yet...one of my top favorite bands along with Night wish (can you tell I love Symphonic Power Metal yet) A few Kamelot suggestions: Forever Wings of Despair Center of the Universe The Haunting Sacrimony (new singer, and featuring Alissa White Gluz from Arch Enemy) Insomnia Veil of Elysium Liar Liar (again with Alissa) Revolution (more Alissa) Also, as a side suggestion, a band called Between the Buried and Me...think Dream Theater level skill and playing with harsh vocals too

[@valoxiii422]

and edge of paradise and in twilight hours feat. jennifer haben from beyond the black

[@mix6809]

So happy, Battle Beast are confirmed for Sweden Rock Festival this summer...

[@syndrooma1]

Good choice guys. You should check their song Straight To The Heart. It's from their new album. There's insane live-footage of that song too!

[@rickewi]

To prepare for the concert you should listen to some Kamelot as well! Liar Liar featuring Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy is awesome! The old stuff with Roy Khan on vocals is epic as well!

[@sebben13]

I think you will like Kamelot aswell :D

[@CriticalRoleHighlights]

Old Kamelot with Roy Khan on vocals is a fucking beast!

[@sebben13]

yes, Roy Khan is amazing. And so is Critical role! xD Matt Mercer is my muse

[@Teofilo87]

That's a cool song. Now that you mentioned Kamelot you have to check out some of their stuff. Basically anything and everything from One cold winter's night live DVD. Absolutely amazing! For example Center of the Universe or The Haunting (ft Simone Simons from Epica).

[@TheWiseGrif]

Branislav Teofilovic yes yes yes YES Kamelot please!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeggyjager]

Please do: Rammstein - Mein Herz brennt (Live at Download Festival UK 2016) ... Thank you.

[@darkki87]

So happy you guys found time to check this one out :) \,,/ love her voice!

[@APREACTS]

Me 2!!!! Me .......2.

[@thorwulfx1]

Battle Beast is great. Essentially pick any song. Their first album featured a different singer, but she was also really good. If you're going to have the same tour as we are in the Western US, they'll be playing with Kamelot and Delain.

[@APREACTS]

That is the tour. They will be here in April but it is 19+

[@stephencaveney827]

Another brillianti female Vocast to add to the list after Tarja, Simone Simons, Floor Janssen, and many more to many to mention. Long may it continue 🤘🤘 Can you please react to Kamelot when the lights are down thanks 🤘🤘 👍👍

[@stasa-X]

I had just the same reaction to this song 🤣,i can understand you. Great reaction, thanks 👍.

[@Bashi88]

Battle Beast - Machine Revolution! It's from their second album and they never play it live. My personal favourite though. If you like the story of The Terminator you should check it out as that song must be insipired by the movie ;D

[@ritvamaki4413]

Look the guitarist... He's Anton Kabanen, the founder of the band and his current band is Beast in Black which founder he is as well👍😍

[@Freddespelarspel]

When the Battle Beast was In Linköping here In Sweden I watch them Live, it was really great

[@wolfino9913]

Try Battle Beast - Iron Hand Official Live. You're gonna love it at the same way!

[@evacody1249]

Kamelot and Delain put on a great show. I would say get there early but I'm getting there even more early to be front and center for Delain and Kamelot.

[@anniedeeee]

I have been waiting for this reaction video! If you do get a chance to see them live, do it! They are so good live.

[@Loxley81]

Saw Battle Beast live and I have to say that the lead singer is even more impressive when you hear her live ! You have to check out their (IMHO) best song: Battle Beast - Let it roar

[@benbobby2290]

I was lucky to see her Perform live. One of a few that sounds even better live. Must see

[@kampsu79]

The guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen has left the band and formed new band called Beast in Black.You reacted their song earlier.Blind and Frozen.Maybe react to Battle beast-Into the heart of danger,Let it roar or Iron Hand.

[@APREACTS]

I know the guitar player had left, and since I really enjoyed Beast in Black that is why I decided to check these guys out. Best thing I did all day.

[@thomasjohansson4767]

You guys should check out the Carolus Rex album from Sabaton. The title track, A life time of war or The lion from the north. Have a great christmas, and thank you for this great videos. Up the irons from sweden.

[@APREACTS]

Merry Christmas my friend!!!

[@MissKMat]

One of my favourite bands and SO glad you guys finally checked them out. Coming to Toronto this april 2018!! Maybe see you there :o And Noora Louhimo's voice only gets better as she progresses!

[@MissKMat]

Touch in the Night Bringer of Pain - the entire album Dancing with the Beast Madness King for a Day

[@APREACTS]

If I go I will go alone, it is 19+ show.

[@blazejecar]

As for next songs from them, I suggest Unholy Saviour, Let it Roar, Speed and Danger, Sea of Dreams and Straight to the Heart (seeing you react to this singer, can't wait for lost horizon to knock you off your chair)

[@rawwu]

Battle Beast!! Some songs to try: Out of Control, Let It Roar, Beyond The Burning Skies

[@tsuhna1167]

I had to come back to this reaction since I saw Battle Beast live at Rock in the City Kouvola (my home turf) just a couple of days ago. For me their gig was the top performance of the whole two day festival, and Black Ninja was the top of the gig. Now, I'm not usually one of those in the front row going nuts and bananas, but Noora commanded me in such force that I had no choice.. boy, that girl has some mighty stage presence. Looking forward for them attenting again next summer.

[@emilietnnessen5025]

Have seen them live twise and met all of them once they are amazing the last show i saw them in september i got a guitar pic and a drum stick😍

[@APREACTS]

The show is 19+ in April...so If I go I have to go alone...I hate going to shows with my kid.

[@Thnielsen85]

Battle Beast is great \m/ you should try "Let it Roar"

[@7MM3]

Definitely my favorite. This song and Madness completely sold me.

[@BryonAutry]

Concert is in April/May. Love this band, and yeah, Noora is absolutely amazing! :D

[@andrewludwig9251]

Battle Beast opened up for Sabaton last spring--- they rocked it! You guys missed it!

[@APREACTS]

It was 19+ show

[@icedearth3332]

Battle Beast survived even at first their main singer left so they got Noora (who is singing on this video) and lately their first guitarist and a song maker Kabanen left the band and made a new one called Beast in Black.

[@jannepeuraniemi5053]

Battle Beast - Unholy Savior! The title track of their third album, my favorite from them. It has an epic, "big" chorus that catches you. Battle Beast is one of the best live bands there is, definitely go see them live. Also, Battle Beast - Kingdom or Iron Hand. I don't know if there's a good live version of those songs, but I prefer the live version with Noora singing, instead of the previous singer Nitte.

[@tanehene]

really liked your reaction.keep on reacting guys.subscribed

[@martnix]

Battle Beast - Lionheart - is the best for me.. This band is on my next to go see live list for a while now (I am lazy :()

[@ulrichhartel6805]

I prefer Unholy Savior, more epic, more strong :) but it's hard the album have so many awesome tittles like "far far away" "madness" "i want the world" or the amazing ASAP cover "wild child"

[@johanbatcron1206]

Out of control was the first song i heard with Battle Beast and its really good. Sabaton did a cover on it aswell😉 thats how i found it.

[@blakkmoon]

Hello, check battle beast with The first singer, and her band now, check founder member new band beast in black. Pure metal all 3

[@mrdog1215]

There are good songs and then there are Noora and Ninja , game over for metal : heart

[@toniruha]

Battle Beast have a lot of great songs. Not too many music videos though. If you want a similar song to Black Ninja then go for Iron Hand. Other good songs: Out of Control, Out on the Streets, I Want the World, God of War, Bringer of Pain.

[@danhall160]

Great band

[@APREACTS]

That is an understatement...I am in love.

[@danhall160]

Love battle beast to

[@MetalRob81]

Shadowside - Alive!! Probably my fav female fronted Heavy Metal band.. I don't ask for many requests, but you guys gotta check this out. Tons of groove and just killer!!

[@wolfino9913]

Guys, react to "DIR EN GREY - DIFFERENT SENSE TOUR 16-17 FROM DEPRESSION TO.... [Dum Spiro Spero] [HD"! amazing live performance. Love your channel, cheers.

[@rhapsody1979]

Another good song is Familiar Hell, which also has an official video. You could check it out. On the other hand, i would suggest, if you allow me, another band which i'm pretty sure you have never seen or heard before. The song is called Why Should we say Goodbye?. The name of the band is Vandroya. They're from Brazil aaaaaand... man, i don't know if you're gonna like the song or not, cause it's a melodic-heavy song, but what i'm really sure is that you're gonna fall in love with the singer, cause she's really beautiful. Check it out. Vandroya - Why should we say goodbye? It has an Official Video. Cheers and Merry Christmas you guys!!

[@jordy1729]

You should totally check out Kamelot by the way. They got a new singer in 2013 I believe, but both their old and new work is amazing. Old singer: Centre of the Universe Karma Forever The Great Pandemonium New Singer: Liar Liar Sacrimony My Confession There's actually too much to name here, but those are pretty good imo

[@Flol23]

If your are planing on going to the concert you should definitely check out kamelot. I would recommend "liar liar" ft. Alissa white-gluz. Also you should do some Delian.

[@juhakamppi7585]

You might wanna check out Noora singing Janis Joplin, never lets you down. And of course the earlier singer Nitte, maybe Show me how to die with Nitte AND Noora. I'll guarantee you'll get hooked. Amazing how the band got anyone to replace Nitte (not gonna even try to compare those two, just amazing singers). Then there's the band Beast in Black founded by the founder of Battle Beast...

[@kampsu79]

Chris Farley was fat in Beverly Hills Ninja :D

[@APREACTS]

I don't really count that one as a Ninja movie...plus the movie didn't come out during my youth. lol

[@Mustaerkki]

Nice choice for friday! This is the second singer. The orginal singer you can see in a song called Enter the metal world! Love both but i like big women so im in love with the first :D

[@Liam-xj9ri]

Old Battle Beast was much better. Thank there is Beast in Black now :)

[@Liam-xj9ri]

@Karafallout 1992 I meant BB with Noora, but after Anton's leaving it's real shit. Beast in Black is just Battle Beast with male singer..

[@Liam-xj9ri]

@Karafallout 1992 But ofc, Noora is an awesome singer, despite I don't listen to this genre of metal anymore. I'm just saying, that Anton was great lyrics writer so it's obvious that BB is not same anymore u know.

[@acdc09]

You should release a covers album because your version of "She's a black ninja!" is awesome. Good thing you didn't stand up after the video ended. We might have seen your mic stand if you know what I mean, lol.

[@APREACTS]

Lmao

[@PowerliftingNstuff]

You should definitely check out their song - Straight To The Heart - it kicks ass

[@REALodanobunagamex]

Although I started listening to Battle Beast for this song their best version of them as a group is without a doubt with their first album (Steel) with time they have been diluted until becoming a sort of "glam" band of the 80s with updated sound. They are a great band at the moment, but definitely in their beginnings they were better.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Hah, hah, I laughed watching this reaction. Mine was pretty much the same, but first time I heard Battle Beast and Noora was a live video actually. And oh man is this band a live band! Noora is crazy wild on stage and the band is funny, so every gig is fun to watch. Listening their newest album "No More Hollywood Endings" now, and that got me here. It has more melodic style and clean vocals than their previous albums, but I'm really into it, thinking it's their most interesting album yet.

[@SonOfTheAesir]

some recommendations for Battle Beast songs: Familiar hell, The Eclipse, Out of Control, Iron Hand

[@sonofjudas8779]

Nice one! :) Maybe some Priest next? Desert Plains live '82 would be a good one or the Sentinel live '86! Keep up the good work, guys! Metal is the laaaw! \m/

[@emilietnnessen5025]

Her voice is even more crazy on let it roar pleasse check it out!

[@ricardodosreisschmitt400]

Guys Beast in Black have new video called Zodd the Immortal

[@kimlonnqvist4145]

Listen to older Battle Beast. The former singer is also great

[@mix6809]

great reaction, love this song. the bass line is from black sabbath - heaven and hell, hehe

[@ginnydileo5168]

You absolutely need to go to the show. I've suggested Kamelot to you guys a couple of times. I promise you, you'll love it. Do a double header of Insomnia and then Liar Liar. The videos are a continuation of each other and Liar Liar has Alissa from Arch Enemy on it.

[@TheSwedishFreaK]

After you've done Sonata Arctica you guys should def. check out In Flames - Only For The Weak

[@MrT1o9P9i2]

My favourite song is Touch in the Night

[@CarlosGonzalez-og1eg]

Kamelot are amazing also, check “Veil of Elysium” or “Liar, liar” (feat. Alyssa from Arch Enemy)

[@firasalshalabi6333]

Noora is also a great live performer

[@JackM.]

Battle Beast, the beasts of power metal. You should definitely react to the official live (great quality) version of Iron Hand. It has the old singer, the band has had two amazing singers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2Orcpxvq9CGpNE

[@Sammalkives]

Battle Beast - God of War and Straight to the Heart are awesome also! those are the songs she can really let her voice takeover and send shivers down your spines! You're welcome!

[@maurosalamanca8411]

the best voice in a women.. her voice is incredible... noora loomiho..

[@Doppeldropper]

Heh, nice to see you liked it ;)... Yes, they do have other goodies too, though that one was probably one of they most played/known tune :). See e.g "Enter the Metal World": kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKmvamyKl6h3aq8 , and "Let it Roar": kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn22eXltaNySm9E ...and their better than original cover of WASP's tune Wild Child :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3jbl4dmZbONopo

[@valoxiii422]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your Ghost shirt!!

[@johanbatcron1206]

You really should check out the bands Thobbe Englund and PAIN. Thobbe Englund is a solo career of the old guitar player of Sabaton. And PAIN is a solo project of Peter Tägtgren from the deathmetal band Hypocrisy. However PAIN is industrialmetal like rammstein and not deathmetal. PAIN is one of my favorite bands of alltime. You should check out anything by Peter Tägtgren that guy is a genius. He also worked with Till Lindemann from rammstein on his solo project called LINDEMANN. Here is some song tips. Thobbe Englund: Illuminati Sold my soul Trägen vinner When's the end of the world PAIN: Shut your mouth Call me Same old song Pretty much any song LINDEMANN: Fish on Skills in pills

[@leobarzi]

Guys... You´re amazing!!!!!! kkkkk I´m with you!!!! I agree!!!!

[@MrJarnoisbest]

Battle beast - Band of the hawk is great song too

[@75Dragonlord]

Battle Beast is a fantastic Live Band! Another great Power Metal Band is Bloodbound. In my Opinion there new Album ist the best Power Metal Album 2017. So please do: Bloodbound - Battle in the Sky

[@thomasjohansson4767]

King for a day , Familier hell, Straight to the heart, Bastard son of Odin is some good Battle Beast songs.

[@ryymin84]

battle beast - beyond the burning skies

[@Palek83]

You did it :) Hell, I'm excited :D Let's watch. You Guys heve to see them live! Her voice is absolutelly perfect. PS. And one more thing. Don't be surprised if you will randomly shout 'SHE'S A BLACK NINJA' for the next week :D EDIT: OK. So I wrote this comment before watching and at 8:00 you already noticed random shouting is going to happen :D Other Songs: Straight to the heart (already without Anton Cabanen who's now in Beast in Black) Out of control (btw. covered by Sabaton) Iron hand (previous singer) Let it Roar Lionhart Also with more 80's disco vibe in it: Touch in the night Machine revolution

[@APREACTS]

Random shouting is indeed happening...not sure everyone is enjoying it as much as I am.

[@Waltzu83]

Beyond The Burning Skies!!!!!

[@satoricrush]

Check out their Bringer of Pain. Great band live and really needs to headline.

[@crazyjoedavola7493]

"I have never met a fat NINJA" fucking priceless Pedro!!!

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

Noora Louhimo is mindblowing singer.

[@snooks5607]

sub'd. 2 of most obvious Battle Beast radio "hits" so far are Enter The Metal World with the previous singer and King For A Day with Noora. perhaps one of those next?

[@APREACTS]

King for a Day is our choice as far as next BB song is concern!

[@snooks5607]

also btw, give old Amorphis a chance, anything off of Thousand Lakes. Black Winter Day, Drowned Maid, Into Hiding, though it stands best as a whole. listened to in dimly lit room, browsing RPG manuals and sword&sorcery art, in the 90s.. or while staring out the window on long train ride

[@snooks5607]

and then Queensryche, Paradise Lost, Iced Earth, Gamma Ray.. well you got your work cut out for you ;)

Hi guys, I dig your channel! More Finnish diamond female singers in power metal genre is to be found in Burning Point band. Nitte Valo is a former singer of Battle Beast. Check her out, 100 proof eargasm. BURNING POINT - The King Is Dead, Long Live The King is a good starter. Cheers!

[@Zhengyis]

Battle Beast New Album is the best the did so far, check awesome songs like Beyond the Burning Skies, Straight to the Heart, Lost in Wars!,Bastard Son of Odin or The Eclipse

[@mikkolaine4883]

I think this is like moderate Battle Beast song. I like more their faster stuff. I suggest Out of Control, Beyond the Burning Skies, Kingdom, Lionheart, Bastard Son of Odin. If you go to see them I guarantee you will knocked out. Their live presence os stunning. Also the two other bands Kamelot and Delain are really good and especially om stage. I have met Noora (the singer) once and she's very nice person, real verbal machine 😁

[@APREACTS]

I am contemplating going to the show. It is 19+ show...so I will have to go by myself.
