Beast In Black "Blind And Frozen" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

Beast In Black has been on my list of bands to check out since when I started with Nightwish videos. You all talked about Yannis with such reverie that it intrigued me. I broke down when I saw the title of this song, and knew. . . it was perfect for winter. I was right!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Beast In Black for the first time, performing "Blind And Frozen”.

Hi there, Please check out “Your the voice” from John Farnham (there’s one on here with the Melbourne orchestra, he’s in his late 50s there) Hes our favourite aussie singer. You wont be disappointed. Love your enthusiasm and love of music, just fabulous.

Wau I just now checked this Beast in Black reaction, it took me awhile to get into them. But when you started the reaction there should of blinked a Vocal nerd 🤓-status on full. Wow idk if I've ever seen Elizabeth rewind and pause this much. 😳 Hahah, love it. BTW, happy motherhood Elizabeth and Kirk. You need to buy her/him a guitar so you guys can feel the sleepless nights for next 17yrs. 🤣🤣😅. Or a drum set. Muahaha

[@alanclarke8117]

Yannis is da bomb. Any guy who can pay homage to Floor Jansen in "Ghost Love Score" AT KEY deserves to be experienced in front of Elizabeth. Inspirational and exhilarating.

I was just about to comment this. Elizabeth, if you want to have your mind blown, check out Yannis’ vocal cover of Ghost Love Score. It’s incredible.

Apologies Elizabeth but this got my attention. I stopped the video and went to hear that cover. Hooooly crap, that has to be next.

[@HBTNFTB666]

ANd now there is a reaction to it!

[@La_sagne]

the song is 18 years old.. not exactly an old classic. but a good song nonetheless and crazy for a dude to cover it

[@mayoite160]

- This guy doesn't ever need to duet. He nailed "Ghost Love Score" in key on his personal KZbin channel - Even though there isn't a music video or official live performance (yet) I'd highly recommend "Ghost In the Rain". His voice gets so light and tender in that one it goes into Celine Dion territory. Before adding layer upon layer of strength and distortion into a restrained crescendo. - Alternatively, do "Moonlight Rendevous" (allround performance with a cyberpunk video), "Cry Out For a Hero" (higher end), "From Hell With Love" (catchy) or "Born Again" (mid range)

[@Chronologo]

I love Born Again, there's so much emotion on that song

Broken survivors is the best song

[@wenlocke]

For bonus trivia, the founder of Beast in Black is Anton Kabanen, formerly of Battle Beast, and a lot of Beast in Black is the direction Anton wanted to take Battle Beast in before he split from them. The upshot of all this drama is we now have two awesome power metal bands, fronted by Noora and Yannis, instead of just one.

[@Istar47]

For real, BiB just put out a new album last month and BB is putting one out in January.

[@Cbyneorne]

A Noora-Yannis duet would melt faces.

[@WoodyNWUK]

Thanks for the info. Love Battle Beast too. Didn't realise they were essentially two sides to the same coin with a common creator.

[@Rhynri]

And just for icing on top, we have a new Pentakill album with Jorn Lande and Noora.

[@didrikmesicek4825]

Except Battle Beast has become awfully poppy and just boring since Kabanen left. And BiB is...eh. Some great songs, but most of it sounds the same. Although their new album is probably a bit better than the second one

[@matthbva]

I have never heard Beast in Black before, and my initial reaction to the first few lines was “wait, why is that guy lip-syncing a woman’s vocals?” 😂 Amazing.

[@Metalhammer1993]

Typical reaction if you don't know a counter tenor. That's why beast in black reactions are almost as fun as Jinjer reactions. But better with reactors that don't know too much about singing. Like there's no fun in Liz just calmly analyzing it not even an ounce of surprise when Yannis gets going. Only "yeah, that's cool. Good control on his top"

[@michaelmeissner7545]

@@Metalhammer1993 All of the fun is watching how much fun she has listening to him! I love watching these just because the amount of joy she has is so contagious! Oh, and I also know almost nothing about singing so I learn a lot XD

[@RogueWraith909]

You should see them live... They opened for Nightwish in Manchester a few years back, I'd never seen them and thought it was Floor singing at first... They blew my mind.

[@sirgog]

You should definitely check out Yannis' covers of Nightwish songs on his channel. It's even more like that.

[@jolenecochran]

@@RogueWraith909 they are currently opening for nightwish on tour in the US!

[@JoeStuffzAlt]

Beast in Black was formed by Anten after getting kicked out of Battle Beast. This is Beast in Black's first single, and so many peoples' jaw just dropped hearing this song. There's always a dice roll when someone gets kicked out of a band and forms another, and it almost is never as mind-blowing as this song. There's actually 2 singers. The scratchier one is Anten, the main guitarist, and they know how to mix the two vocalists together. I can almost hear Let It Go in this song.

[@mabulolcandi9998]

i saw him yesterday in Zürich CH and the Band was amazing. He was running arraound the stage like nothing. I like his stage presents. After BiB came Nightwish. Complete mindblowing!!!!!!!

[@itsbeckon2017]

Chani nur zuestimme, absolut geil gsi.

[@ozzyism7148]

There is a saying among Yannis fans "every song is a yannis song". He has a youtube channel where he has done covers of many different genres. His biggest cover is probably nightwish's ghost love score. But he's also covered pop artists and Disney songs too! Definitely worth a reaction as I believe he sings ghost love score arguably better than Floor does!

[@olgak.1139]

This is a great cover also! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/foi6h6KOgsmentE

[@pietkeizer5216]

Yannis has a great voice, but Ghost Love Score belongs to Floor. I mis a soul in his voice. Floor touches me, Yannis don’t.

[@stormcorrosion176]

Boring

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Noone does GLS better than Floor, but Yannis does a helluva job.

[@VXGaming]

Yangasm is not as strong as the Floorgasm.

[@Bashi88]

More aggressive side of Yannis: Beast in Black - Die by the Blade. Still very versatile singing though!

[@vedranb87]

Absolutely

[@Milano-ug3iu]

Die by the blade is my favorite song of B&B. Reaction for Battle beast will be great too.

[@henriklindberg1646]

End of the world even better imo, or beast in black

[@hansele666]

try Warrior Path - Warrior Path (2019) he did the vocals for the entire LP, completely different yet nonetheless awesome

[@Juras1mo]

Yep this song is super cool

[@antivanti]

The "I will wait in the name of love" sounds very Eurovision. In fact the entire song is very Eurovision. They should definitely enter the competition some year 😁👍

[@TheBitcoinExperience]

I was introduced to Beast in black at a Nightwish concert, in the UK, a few years back. That night, I wanted to wear my "Punisher" t-shirt, but changed my mind last minute. After the concert, Yannis was taking photos with fans and he was wearing a "Punisher" t-shirt... I was so disappointed with myself that I just left 😂

[@MustaLaatta]

🤘🇫🇮 Nightwish army Finland 🐻‍❄️His vocal range and stamina is something to listen for! And the version of NW "Ghost Love Score" is unique on it's own way...

[@MetalGearTenno]

My daughter can scream that long. His vocals are trash mediocre screams and yelling. Trash vocals

[@rolsen1304]

Weak bait

[@teamEP789]

Beast in Black are the most catchy band ever. Their albums are 10/10 through and through, not a bad song

[@petrkoudelka3547]

Yes,you're absolutely right,they have no bad song.

[@schussfreudech]

They have bad songs, its just that their bad songs are still god tier music.

[@kiewitt]

"Dude's talented" 😂 Love your honest and spontaneous reactions. They're at least half the reason I'm watching your videos🥰 This was another fun video, thank you so much.

[@papasang6360]

It was really fun to watch Elizabeth get all gooey over Yannis's vocals.

[@preachey]

I described Beast in Black to a friend as "old nightwish combined with 80/90s stadium rock then turned up to power metal"

[@alala_emily8210]

I saw them last night, this is accurate. They were fucking awesome 😂

[@oglschmitt]

I've wanted to see Elizabeth's take on this fascinating hybrid of mid-80's A-ha and mid 80's Judas Priest for quite some time! The chorus is catchier than the common cold and Yannis' vocals are as amazing as his last name is hard to pronounce. Beast in Black, meet Goddess in Grey.

[@lazzarodesign3891]

Yannis is probably the most versatile vocalist I've ever heard. He has highs, lows, grit, clean and plenty of emotion. A good song to really hear the versatility is "moonlight rendezvous" or "broken survivors". He does it all in those songs. His control is inhuman.

[@dandyprime5338]

Now that you've heard Yannis, you gotta listen to Noora Louhimo of Battle Beast and their songs "Black Ninja" and "Master of Illusion". Battle Beast and Beast and Black have history, as former members of Battle Beast went on to form Beast in Black. I've heard the "bear claw" referred to as the "orb of metal" in some circles.

[@icedvengence3845]

Black ninja 🤘

Tea Time with Yannis!!! Please do it!!!! I think his voice is one of the most talented in the whole rock/metal spectrum at the moment.

[@TheMusicalPotatoes]

You've seen Unleash the Archers, you've seen Beast in Black...it's really about time you check out the legendary vocal god that inspired both Brittney and Yannis. Lost Horizon - Highlander (The One)

[@Roderik95]

Daniel Heiman is my favourite vocalist of all time. He is insanely good. Man, I wish the band had stayed together.

[@blazejecar]

@@Roderik95 same for me. Though his newer projects are really great too. His album with Dimhav is the best since lost horizon and Warrior Path's album with him also has some insane moments. He even sings higher than on highlander in both those albums

[@asdasd-rp9hx]

ive recommended she listening to battle beast- savage and saint so im a little cheesed off she went with the former guitarist new band lol

[@ik3rian]

oh god yes world needs more breakdowns of The One

[@MotherAce]

Not sure there exist a high quality recording of Daniel Heiman doing "The One".(live, or even a video) Which is the inherent problem of breaking that song down. Not ideal doing one for a 11 minute album track showing only the cover. Could perhaps do the one Pellek has. It's a cover, but he pulls it off as good as possible for a Heiman song, and doing it bare-chested, you can almost anatomically see the strain on the vocal chords.

[@salamanderpete]

He's just like this live too. Absolutely astonishing talent!

[@perrdawg-py8my1cl7l]

Yannis is a vocal god. If you REALY want to be blown away, check out his cover of Ghost Love Score (Nightwish). Also, Brittney Slayes is probably my favourite metal female vocalist ever, i would love to see a Yannis-Brittney duet.

No Surrender is one of my all time fave songs. I honestly wish it had existed back when I was in school being bullied, because its such a rallying, battle cry of a song. The lyrics " Raging willpower unleashed from below, Nothing can stop you, There's nothing that strong" are incredible.

You should check his cover of the song "Omorfi Poli" meaning "Beautiful City" composed by our Greek Pride legendary composer Mikis Theodorakis , who not long ago decided to leave us for the great journey . It's truly a wonderful song , representing the heart of greek music that nurtured the last generations .

Finally! I'm glad you enjoyd it. They have a great selection of songs and they are a fantastic live band. Please check out other songs from Beast in Black as well. They have such a nice, not too serious attitude while providing excellent music all the while! For more fun try "Crazy, mad, insane"

[@yellowtommytanker]

Literally just saw them open for Nightwish in Birmingham, UK. Never heard of them before but they DEFINITELY on my play list now. Great fun live, and on point! Lead singer can hit those notes LIVE!

[@darktemplar441]

First timer here, youtube Suggested this video to me and I was not disappointed, I love beast in black and it was nice to see you analyze it.

[@day_tiger7981]

THANK YOU. I never had the words to describe what's so great about the chorus but yes.... It is just satisfying to listen to.

[@sterlingjackson2182]

His voice is delightful. Some of my other favorites are Oceandeep, Born Again, and Midnight Rendezvous-but just about every one of their songs are epic and catchy as hell. I can’t wait to see them touring the States next year with Nightwish! Beast in Black is easily one of my favorite bands. 😊

[@IdFear666]

YES!! I can't wait for this one!!! :D

[@mrbennion5776]

Finally! I've been waiting so long for this reaction!

[@SJPace1776]

Yay! I am so excited to see Beast in Black and Nightwish in 2022! Amazing vocals!

[@guitar_noodle]

Elizabeth the “bear claw” you mentioned is a gesture we use in metal especially in black metal and death metal. From the vocalist to the other instrumentalists. Often posing in Pictures. We sometimes called it the claw of doom. We imagine holding a skull like in Hamlet. We did it in my band often I had no idea opera singers did it as well! Please analyze Yannis’s cover of Ghost love score.

[@RobMedellin]

I don't think it's "holding a skull" or anything physical... For me it's a way to channel power, a way to empower yourself... Like goku or something like that creating a power orb

[@guitar_noodle]

@@RobMedellin for sure. Different ways of expression.

[@petertapola8097]

Invisible fruit is also an option.

[@RobMedellin]

@@petertapola8097 well an invisible anything for that matter, invisible boob why not :)

[@Hellkat9940]

I remember seeing it in a Strong Bad e-mail about death metal, where you sing from the cockles of your lungs while gripping an orb of power in each hand,

[@megnaomimusic]

Okay but Yannis is the male version of Floor Jansen! 😍 I've been listening to Beast In Black for a few years now and I'm so happy to see them getting more attention. If you want more BIB, listen to their self titled song "Beast In Black" also "Eternal Fire" is epic. Also check out Yannis' cover of Ghost Love Score. He's incredible!

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

I just watched this video a few minutes ago and my first thought was "I hope Elizabeth finds this one!" and then your video was the next suggested video!! This kind of band and singing immediately makes me think of your analysis videos.

[@Ragnarakk]

Beast in Black is SUCH a good band and im glad you did this and hoping you do more on them in future~

[@crymsonvega4854]

I'm surprised you compared him to Brittney Slayes, I was thinking more like if Freddy Mercury and Rob Halford had a lovechild and started a metal band in the 80's. Seriously though Yannis is awesome.

[@stpetie7686]

I've been listening to this song for a while, now. And every time I heat that long held note I think of Brittany too. When Elizabeth mentioned her it gave me a good chuckle. However I totally get your Mercury/Halford analogy.. It makes sense. Brittany just came to mind first. Either way, Yannis always kills it.

[@mayonaise000]

He does a crazy cover of Ghost Love Score that I'd like to hear you go over, but it would make sense if you don't want to put a second version of a song up that you've already gone over. Especially seeing as how it would be the second time for this artist too.

[@kathiwahlers8791]

Elizabeth, I love the pure joy in your reactions! I've seen a lot of reaction videos but I always enjoy yours the most. I also caught your reaction video of Yannis doing GLS. Your interview w/ Yannis was brilliant! Thank you so much for the joy you bring me in your reactions.....Kathi

[@nikitasfiorentis1347]

I haven't watched many of your videos but the smile on your face says it all. Your face literally glows as you listen to the song

[@wenlocke]

Reactions for this video are always funny, as so few people, without having heard him, expect Yannis to be able to do what he does, and their faces are always an itter picture of incredulity when he starts up.

[@JosephSaintClair]

Super excite you doing some YP. The guy is so talented it’s insane.

[@TheMolla1]

Great analysis as always!

[@joelpappel3318]

Been waiting for so long for you to do this song , I can't believe you did it the day before my birthday thank you.

[@metalbeast8427]

We need to get a reaction to Beast in Black by them! He shows a very different side to his singing and its just in general a killer track

[@NickSlaten333]

I never knew I needed to hear him and Brittany together. Now they need to do it but it might be too epic for us mortals

[@Lylifly]

Agreed. Now I feel like I'm waiting for this to happen and it might never happen at all XD

[@E4RHTP1G]

It would be like when Alanis Morresette spoke in Dogma

[@E4RHTP1G]

🤯

[@thorstenlone9207]

Well, we'll wait for tomorrow that may never come.

[@erwinamesz7642]

Saw them during the Nightwish concert in Amsterdam and they were FANTASTIC!!!! 80's synth/keyboard-metal at its BEST!!

[@billtbodger]

Saw Beast in Black Last night and wow, they were fantastic, a great opener for Nightwish, made a fantastic night

[@LazyGibbon]

'Beast in Black -Ocean Deep' is epic, it just keeps building in music and vocals

[@benschroeder4036]

Was there an official video to that one released though? I don't know if she'd react to just a lyric video. I love that song though, along with "Ghost in the Rain"

[@LazyGibbon]

@@benschroeder4036 Not that I can find sadly, there is a live version but that is recorded from a phone so that doesn't sound great..

[@Axe_Slinger]

Will she be one of those who says "If I didn't see it I would have thought this was a duet"?

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I guess you'll have to find out. ;-)

[@tessag5699]

Have this in all my workout playlists. Great song to cycle to.
