Beast in Black - Blind And Frozen [Reaction/Review]

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

You can't mix 80s Synth Pop with Heavy Metal... Beast in Black: Hold my beer...

[@subarusama5673]

Actually, I think it mixes pretty well into power metal if you do it properly. ;)

[@blaynegreiner9365]

Metal bands have been mixing synth in there for a long time lol

[@UltraCasualPenguin]

Seriously? You americans lack imagination. Try something harder like mixing electronic music to rap and metal with touches from funk and folk. Like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn2ugpqaq9imi9U

[@tonynomikos3702]

Say the same about battle beast

[@randalltempelaar]

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Beast in Black is incredible.

[@woozzaap9840]

This vocalist is amazing

[@Noksivs]

Beast in Black - Beast in Black please!... Its a bit heavier/faster and more metal than Blind and Frozen, and pure awesome!

[@NukedBird]

Second this ! Best song on the album!

[@ToastedCigar]

Yeah this band's singer is incredible. His range of voice is absolutely astonishing!

[@kampsu79]

I really like watching metal videos with you guys and discovering new bands.It's my favorite thing now days :) Looking forward to your visit in our beautiful country.But please come in summertime.Winter is shit here :D I recommend Tuska Festival.

[@ioanniskostoulas4448]

The vocalist is from Greece Yiannis Papadopoulos. He's also singing at Wardrum a Power Metal band from Greece.

[@antti19]

Welcome to Finland!Listen Born again from Beast in Black!

[@sacralmistic]

yah.. its amazing..

[@lintu25]

Aivan mahtava. Itse kuuntelin radio Rockia ja sain aikoon käryn tästä upeestä bändistä!

[@Briansgate]

Finland is totally owning the music scene imo~!

[@KaNoMikoProductions]

This guy could do the vocals for any Nightwish cover entirely by himself.

[@the_verTigO]

He did cover Ghost Love Score!

[@OPJ1974]

This band really is great. Aaaand yes, Finland is THE metal capital of the wolrd: we have the most metal band per capita in the world - twice as much as Sweden does, for example :) Rest of the Scandinavia is well represented in general. bigthink.com/strange-maps/560-a-world-map-of-heavy-metal-density

[@duven3040]

why are you so patriotic lol

[@TheDwarvenDwarf]

Definitely check out the lyric video for their self titled song Beast In Black next, his voice is completely different in that compared to this one.

[@blackcitadel37]

i think the beast they talk about in the band's name and song is the frontman haha. what a fucking voice

[@mailisparrott9186]

Blood of A lion. Or even funnier is a song based on Final Countdown by Europe called Eternal Fire. Would be great if you listened to both of them, even if you don't make a video of it xxx (by the way, this is the wife using husbands KZbin channel. .. 🤔)

[@64mtkachyk]

The guitarist does that other voice.

[@m.s00000]

You guys should definitely check the song ''Beast in black'', it's fucking unbelievable. There is official lyric video on youtube.

[@Ravenfields]

That epic rising of the guitars before the first chrorus just sweetens the deal :D lol

[@papercut89]

Yes please! Come to Finland and come and experience both Nummirock and Tuska festivals. You can make your own react vids of them both. I'm sure you both would be more than welcome. You guys have so good attitude, you would feel like home in here with our metalheads 🤘

[@supernaturalarch666]

I think I jizzed in my pants 😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t stop laughing

[@arpod1980]

Love how you guys jam out. Great song and great reaction vid

[@AnimetalViking]

The band's name is inspired by the main character of the manga/anime series Berserk (which inspired the Dark Souls video games and Bloodborne). You should react to their song that is the same title as the band. The song tells the story of the main character, Guts, who is also referred to as The Black Swordsman.

[@JLTS76]

Gotta love metal bands from Finland, suomi perkele

[@BryonAutry]

Anton formed this band after he parted ways with Battle Beast. I cannot recommend Battle Beast enough, seriously, they are one of my favorite bands and I hope you can fit them into your schedule. They have also toured with Sabaton a few times, In fact, I saw them live for the first time last May with Sabaton and Leaves' Eyes. They are coming back in this upcoming May with Kamelot and Delain. Think like Beast In Black, except with a female vocalist. Song suggestions for first impressions: "Far Far Away (Unofficial)", "Straight To The Heart", "King For A Day {Official)", "Out Of Control", "Let It Roar" (as Juha-Pekka suggested below), or maybe "Bringer Of Pain (Official)". I would avoid songs like "Black Ninja" or "Touch In The Night" for first impressions.

[@APREACTS]

They are on our list of bands we have to check out before the end of the year...

[@BryonAutry]

If I had to choose a favorite, I would probably go with "Straight To The Heart".

[@mikkolaine4883]

Kamelot is also very much worth o checking out. Their song Liar Liar (ft. Alissa White-Gluz) you should check out. Actually they are the only American band I love. Delain is Dutch melodic/symphonic band and also amazing live band. Battle Beast is once again solid live band and very much like Beast in Black also with their own production after Anton departed with them. Bastard Sons of Odin and Beyond the Burning Skies are really good new songs and older with Anton: Out of Control and Kingdom. I really recommend!

[@jannepeuraniemi5053]

Unholy Savior is definitely a song you should check out from Battle Beast!

[@nothanks7919]

my favourite from Battle Beast is their W.A.S.P. cover "Wild Child". Sadly, it only appeared on the Japan release of the 2015 album.

[@victorrosario8827]

Cuando no es necesario decir algo solo disfrutar y gozar la buena musica

[@luissynlopes]

Check out their song "beast in black", they released a lyric video after that one, if you loved blind and frozen, you'll love that one too :D

[@gorgerak]

If you guys haven't already then watch Van Canto - Primo Victoria, German a Capella metal, and a sabaton cover \m/

[@DocRattie]

Yeah! Great band and great song! Just found them some days ago and instantly bought their first album. The next day I listend to it for about 10 hours straight. :D

[@juhakamppi7585]

Took me some time to figure out who's the mystery female featuring this song :D

[@carlbrittain1993]

Do tell

[@theblackbull55]

So happy too see fellow people enjoying some good ol metal, finnish metal that is :)

[@twig-e6431]

Like I've been saying, power metal has had a lot of that "pop" flare. Nearly everything Symphonic, Power, or even Gothic Metal can have that Groove and Dance feeling.

[@samivuori6669]

Hell Yeah!!! Great videos you guys!!! Greetings from Finland!!!

[@sannakuronen4876]

You guys rock! Hello from (blind) and frozen Finland. \,,/

[@heikkieronen3053]

Thänks again.....i just got this song out off my head.......,well one week more I see em live in my hometown.....kirottua.....-this song rolls in my head.......=-O. Heikki from joensuu,finland.......

[@NorthMoon.666]

If you decide to come to Finland some day, Welcome! And cheers for you guys, enjoying watching your videos.

[@APREACTS]

Thank you.

[@thekeltic1]

I was hooked the 1st time I heard this song!

[@danielwatts7625]

thank you for reacting to this they are great and you guys rock!!!

[@dolangooby117]

Again a cool video! You got to react to the band's other single, which shares the name of the band "Beast in black - beast in black". One of the most powerfull and energizing songs i've ever heard and easily the best new song this year.

[@margotf_7790]

Guyssss!!! What about The Obsessive Devotion by Epica? I wait! 😍

[@herkkopaakko5615]

Looking forward next Beast in Black reaction. Soon.

[@TheNismo777]

Rare to hear that nothing bad has come from Finland, most doesn't use that line :] #Respect

[@corneliusantonius3108]

Seen them as the warm up band for Nightwish in Amsterdam on the 26th of November.

[@boris9047]

Guys, also check out the song *Beast in black*, a very powerful song. /,,/

[@Iceeeen]

If you guys want more Beast In Black I would recomend Born Again (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO) it's a love song! But it's a metal love song and it's just ++++

[@ricardodosreisschmitt400]

This band is for Anton,ex-guitar e líder from Battle Beast. The vocal is from Serenity

[@sumsar1912]

You gotta check out Twilight Force with Flight of the sapphire dragon! Epic power metal at its best!!

[@ukaszdrozdowski1664]

Like I said if you like high notes...Lost Horizon Highlander is yhe destroyer of worlds...singer is from another world not uding falsetto but incredible range... we are still waiting with my daughter:) greets guys

[@jannepeuraniemi5053]

Always nice to see some more Finnish bands. I would strongly recommend (again) that you listen to Moonsorrow. They have longer songs, but they are very good! Moonsorrow - Huuto : kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4PKaYedYtSAlaM (Hope the link works) This one is maybe their most known song since it has such a catchy melody in chorus. Moonsorrow - Jumalten Aika : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJvWmaGbp9lnfac (0:00 - 12:35, the first song from the album) This is from their newest album, so good that I had to learn to play it myself! :D

[@petteriavola8700]

Next summer there is big metal festival in finland Tampere! June first weekend 👊

[@pabloferreriagarcia5509]

Great reactions guys, another very good band from Finland, the paradise of metal, Yannis Papadopoulos (Wardrum), has an amazing voice, Anton Kabanen (ex-Battle beast) is the leader, seems to point to big band, we will have to follow his evolution.

[@adrenalyne2798]

Amazing song !!! Bravissimo Шикардос !!!

[@Thevinylscavenger]

Did you ever make it to Finland before lockdown?

[@AMYNDA]

Guys check out ''My Favourite Nemesis - Down The Rabbit Hole'' their new song and music video! From Finland so ;)

[@bro-ic7uw]

IA oot iha vitu hyvä näköne

[@metalfan9000]

Subscribed for the number of times you mentioned Finland!! Been checking out a few of your reactions and it's been great fun so far! I have a suggestion as well... Check out the song Destined Course by Storm Seeker! They are a pirate folk metal band from Germany. And an awesome one at that!! They have an EP out, titled Pirate Scum, and have a full album coming out next year.

[@APREACTS]

Thanks for subbing...Finland....Finland

[@2eme_voltigeur652]

This is awesome! I will go see Nightwish November this year in Amsterdam and guess what?! Beast in Black is the supporting act!!

[@metaljunkie882003]

You guys have to do "Old Heart Falls" from the band Katatonia. They are a Doom/Progressive/Depressive Metal band from Sweden and they're amazing!

[@blakkmoon]

I was there in sabaton open air läst year and I saw them, you are very wellcome to Falun Sweden to Sabaton open air this year.

[@matthewfeola5218]

Me too. And I agree.

[@Greatshortfilms1]

PYRAMAZE - DISCIPLES OF THE SUN

[@veli-pekkarautiainen9710]

Hell yeah, come to Tuska festival!!

[@danielh.5177]

Ever heard of Hammerfall? Some claim they began the whole power metal movement or at least pushed the genre into the limelight. They've been around for years and still keep rockin' on. I would recommend Hector's Hymn as a starter. Enjoy!

[@blazejecar]

Beast in black have 1 album out and 3 music videos, the rest of the songs aren't uploaded (I can upload for you, I'd really love to see a reaction to "Ghost in the Rain"), but originally, as others have stated, this sort of songs were a staple in Battle Beast, which is basically this band with insane female vocals. Recommended: "Straight to the Heart", "Let it Roar", "Speed and Danger", "Unholy Saviour" If you're a fan of these vocals, aside from lost horizon i keep bringing up, check out the band "Twilight force", specifically the song "twilight horizon" or "fall of the eternal winter". Your mind will be B L O W N. Joakim Broden of sabaton even sang for them on 2 songs

[@hephesto555666]

Such a great album, also nice to see Yannis getting this great vocalist opportunity. He already did great with Wardrum, though that band sadly didn't the exposure it deserved. If power metal is the thing then Twilight Force is another band well checking out. Very much in the old Rhapsody of Fire vain and with some amazing production values on especially the last album. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl6yq6l_gZmXaNk I would also greatly recommend the German Orden Ogan, who just today got confirmed for Sabaton Open Air as well ;-) They have a ton of great music and give fantastic live performances. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIHQZWmHnN6haJY And might as well throw a classic in here, this year is the 20th anniversary of Hammerfall's Glory to the Brave album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqWco3mplr2hraM

[@helilehto294]

Lissen HIM- right here in my arms 🤘🏻 btw I'm from Finland🤘🏻🔥

[@otakuuniversogames939]

Yannis Papadopoulos este cantante canta mucho que hermosa voz me alegro que canta heavy metal rock in roll

[@Ultras1907]

More Beast In Black

[@Destros2ndone]

of you want to listen to three of the finest solos in one song give "Allegaeon - Proponent of Sentience III" a try i listen to a lot metal but these guys are the best since a long long time and they deserve every small feature they can get, they still have jobs and do this band thing in their free time

[@joshwalker5962]

The gauntlet has been thrown down to Nightwish by Beast In Black!!!

[@Mustaerkki]

Nummirock (in the middle Finland where i live) and Tuska (in Hellzinki, don´t like that city so much) are probably the best metal festivals here!

[@APREACTS]

I think this summer we will be going to Portugal in August to visit my family and attend a Festival there. This will be his first ever festival so it is a good way for him to get his feet wet before we decide to make a more expensive trip to Tuska or Wacken.

[@mikkolaine4883]

Tuska has also Beast in Black, Arch Enemy, Kreator, Europe next summer :P But I agree Nummirock is amazing. Welcome!

[@Mustaerkki]

@ A&P-REACTS You could come to Nummirock 2019 or next year because I would let you live in my house free for a week! That would be way cheeper then hotels and taxis. I got a livingroom of pure joy! Just don´t drink all my booze!

[@APREACTS]

+p3 cobhc i don’t drink so you would be safe!!! LOL

[@isrralbo18]

React to Beast in black - Beast in Black pls

[@midgardrson93]

I’m surprised to see that in the comments this isn’t brought up yet, but Beast and Black is also very similar to older Nightwish. This song as far as music goes reminds me of Have An Angel and Romanticide by Nightwish. You should definitely check those songs out, and Nightwish in general.

[@Eluarelon]

Might be because Beast in Black doesn't hold a candle to anything Nightwish ever did. They have much more in common with 80's synthie hard rock (remember Europe or Treat? Things like that). Nightwish have been much heavier from the very start, and on their first three albums, there's maybe one single song comparable to this kind of music. But, come on, compare that to Romanticide? That song's first riff is heavier than everything you'll find on Berserker. And apart from that: "Once" is NOT older Nightwish. Not saying that I don't like it, though. I enjoy it for what it is, It's a bit cheesy, but well performed and singer Yannis Papadopoulos has an awesome range. But as far as composition goes, Anton Kabanen will never be in the same league with Tuomas Holopainen.

[@andrewludwig9251]

Can any Beast in Black fans educate me about the split up with Battle Beast? It almost seems like the Beast in Black songs were written for Noora's voice so they found a male soprano to fill her shoes. I could definitely hear Noora singing this through him!

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Great reaction guys. Also check out 'Born Again' by Beast In Black

[@thorwulfx1]

As others have said, try Battle Beast. I tried to resist, but they're just too good.

[@ItaloPenna]

You guys should review Massacration from Brazil.

[@darku666]

React to "Beyond The Pale", the new single from Machine Head! lml

[@sirlunatic274]

Loved it!

[@tomaszklockowski3748]

Jari Litmanen

[@s22t]

That reference came out of nowhere but absolutely loved it!!!!!

[@feanorfingolfin7414]

He looks killer with that beard.

[@Yakazota]

i would like if you react to MyGrain - Trapped In An Hourglass. they are amazing and also from Finland :)

[@MrDollarRoxx]

#HEYGUYS I was thinking about suggesting this song too! So awesome. But I figured I'd wait until you had done these I guess, hah; 3 norwegian prog metal bands for ya: Pagan's Mind, Circus Maximus and Leprous. Pagan's Mind: I guess progressive power metal is a more correct term. Pretty spacey, very melodic and really talented guys. Check out Intermission (with my favourite solo ever), Resurrection (Back in Time), Osiris' Triumphant Return, New World Order, Eyes on Fire or God's Equation. Circus Maximus: Also somewhat power metal influenced, but they're more progressive/aor. Also insanely talented naturally. Even more melodic than Pagan's Mind tbh. Check out Architect of Fortune, Last Goodbye, Loved Ones, After the Fire, Burn After Reading, Chivalry, The Weight or Remember. Leprous: Pretty damn unique. I've heard them described as a modern prog metal band, and I guess that's pretty accurate. You can't really compare them to the two bands above at all. Check out Slave (Live at Rockefeller Music Hall), Rewind, Red, The Valley, Third Law, Acquired Taste, The Cloak, Painful Detour, Illuminate, From the Flame, The Weight of Disaster, The Price or Coma. The guitarists in both Pagan's Mind (Jørn Viggo Lofstad) and Circus Maximus (Mats Haugen) has become two of my favourites. The same goes for vocalist in Leprous, Einar Solberg. He's friggin' amazing and you're in for a treat!

[@Larion1]

pleaseeee Oomph!

[@benbong4577]

You should do Pagans mind (norway) or Rhapsody (italy)

[@thebanana2777]

If you guys liked this im sure you will love Kamelot - Liar Liar feat. Alissa White-Gluz (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHWvi2mDpt5qd68) and Jorn Lande - Walking on water (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGqqnpiVep2Njc0).

[@Pejter-tt3me]

hey guys ! do the Ambush - Natural Born Killers reactions !

[@kirvesniem1]

listen to Shade Empire - Ruins and Norther - Frozen angel

[@btemp2003]

You guys should check out Morton. I would recommend the song Weeping Bell. They are a great power metal band from Ukraine.

[@marcha18]

Rings of Saturn - Inadequate

[@sarachan123]

Beast in Black song is Beast in Black. xD Or try the Band Battle Beast.

[@xMoonRunex]

Come to Sweden rock festival 2018, an awesome line up :) Love the channel and this song :)

[@morecringe89]

Yeah I can see Madonna singing this anytime soon

[@jugi1850]

By far the best metal album in Finland this year, along with Blood Red Hourglass' Heal. As good as this song is, it's by far one of the worse songs of the album. I recommend Beast in Black or my personal favorite so far: Zodd the Immortal. Zodd the Immortal is a lot heavier and different kind of song than Blind and Frozen for an example.

[@Dubbel12]

You going to next summers tuska festival would be great!

[@APREACTS]

I wish we could...financially not sure we can make it happen.

[@Indisposed67]

Have you guys ever heard of Nevermore ?? Checkout Enemies of Reality and try to find the remastered version,you won't be disappointed

[@APREACTS]

I have heard of them...I don't think my kid has. That will change at some point this year.

[@Indisposed67]

A&P-REACTS Sweet,The guitar playing of Jeff Loomis needs to be heard by every metal head ;-) and of course Nevermore as a whole.Nevermore as always been one of my favorite Prog power metal bands.

[@ginnydileo5168]

If you love power metal, please react to Battle in the Sky by Bloodbound. It's as power metal as it gets.

[@mikkolaine4883]

IMO this is far the best song in the album. All others might start promising but then it falls. Not quite rising to fly that I expected. They could do lot better. Then again they are really good on stage. They are most like the only band ever that started their career in arena stages. First gig ever they were supporting Nightwish and later on the same fall they opened for Sabaton. Both shows at Metro Arena in Espoo, Finland. Espoo is just next to Helsinki.

[@piotrhadaa47]

It's not gonna be massively requested I guess but I think you should try Hunter - Kiedy Umieram. Unfortunately the video with quite good English lyrics is nowhere to be found nowadays so I'll just post quick translation for your insight ; ) This will probably show you some different approach towards metal. As you are born even the mountains sink in blood Being the child of desires, Hope dyes your dreams. Bubbling a bunch of nonsense, You’ve said that you’re the Ruler of the Dreams - they believed you wordlessly And step by step you’ve possessed them. The headsman went mad treading in blood As your people mindlessly harbingered their fall. Worshiping you blindly they pushed onward Search for their paradise. Bubbling a bunch of nonsense You’ve reminded them that You’re the ruler of the dreams They believed you wordlessly Followed you into the flames - perished before your eyes Augmenting the army of shadows I’m dying - as I see us lost in the mist I’m dying - as I feel us stuck in the dream I’m dying - cause I know you fail to understand that I… I’m dying - as I see you… You wanted to share your God with the others, against their will They’ve lived in peace and tranquility - worshiping their own deity Bubbling a bunch of nonsense You’ve claimed you’ll give them ruler of the dreams They failed to conceive your words - So millions have perished Yet their words sounded strange The same God bared a different name! I’m dying - as I see us lost in the mist I’m dying - as I feel us stuck in the dream I’m dying - cause I know you fail to understand that I… I’m dying - as I see you still trying … Fanaticism is the curse of the nations Cult of unit, religion, politics, nationalism They’ll remain all the same - the black page of humanity Nothing explains the murder! I’m dying - as I see us lost in the mist I’m dying - as I feel us stuck in the dream I’m dying - cause I know you fail to understand that I… I’m dying - as I see you still trying … As you are dying - peace wipes off their tears Yet with your departure bad dreams are soon to return The end is almost always the beginning Bubbling a bunch of nonsense you appear You’re the ruler of the dreams - they always follow you wordlessly And millions will die again as you together with your children Turn another country into the land of shadows! I’m dying - as I see us lost in the mist I’m dying - as I feel us stuck in the dream I’m dying - cause I know you fail to understand that I… I’m dying - still seeing this …

[@453543ification]

Hey guys!) fan fact: when I heard this song I think that Beast in Back was a female fronted Band)) their vocalist was so high voice, that I freaked out for a second, when realize that was a guy) and also can you please react to also finish melodic death metal band MyGrain and their song Dreamscape))) I think it will be awesome too) and thanks for the reaction)) Greeteings!) and also can you please react to Civil War the Bay of Pigs And Tombstone) this heavy/power metal band was formed when the Sabaton split up in 2012 ( when guys who played in the band from 1999 till 2012 are gone and formed Civil War with new vocalist and bass guitarist) I think this songs were catch you too and as strong as Sabaton))and Sabaton's Hometown is called Falun))

[@johnapollon7402]

Fuck yes!

[@MissKMat]

Please check out Battle Beast too! Anton left Battle Beast to create Beast In Black. If you dig this you will dig Noora too!

[@APREACTS]

We plan on doing that

[@GhosT49111]

React to ''Khanъ - Жар (Embers)'' please. Its a small band from Bulgaria and its pretty AWESOME in my opinion !

[@LordBaktor]

Have they reacted to Gloryhammer yet? If not, they should. Totally up their alley.

[@APREACTS]

We haven't yet but we plan on doing so.

[@LordBaktor]

I would recommend "Apocalypse 1992" but there's no video for it, so pick any song from the latest album that has a video.

[@ddcarpenter1790]

ARVEN - BELIEVE

[@benzskyeshxc96]

power metal maybe be chessy but kickass in the same time. Now i listen more power metal like twilight force,gloryhammer and other band. Twilight force sound disney metal but kickass.
