Reaction - BATTLE BEAST- EDEN EPIC METAL STORYTELLING!!!

[@koch75ify]

Greetings from Finland. Here would be my humble request for a reaction video because you like songs that have a story. Wintersun. Time, or Sons of winter and star. Live rehearsal Sonic Pump studio 😊

[@brittjannesath2539]

There are an awsom duet with Hammerfall ft. Noora Louhimo, named second to one. Love harmonies? This is amazing. HammerFall is a Swedish heavy metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden. The band was formed in 1993 by ex-Ceremonial Oath guitarist Oscar Dronjak. You are gonna love this one 👍 Hammerfall was also supportband for Sabaton touring Europe and North America.

[@Viltsu00]

Nice to see Battle Beast reaction! King for a day is another good one from them!

[@evagronlund1786]

Love your reaction and yeah we do have a lot of pretty longhaired guys here in Scandinavia. 😂😂 Black Ninja, King for a day or Out of Control are some great songs from this band.

[@TofuBug24]

Got to do their sibling band next Beast in Black - "Blind and Frozen" MUST be your first listen from them then just go nuts "From Hell With Love", "Die By The Blade", or two of my personal favorites "Crazy Mad Insane", and "Killed By Death"

[@criwall]

Yes, that is good recommendation.

[@oceansoul085]

Yes, yes, yes yes and yes. Add Repentless and Unlimited Sin to the list, along with the self titled Beast in Black. 🤘

[@mikkolaine4883]

And you could suggest some better bangers like Zodd the Immortal, Eternal Fire and Born Again :D

[@TofuBug24]

@@mikkolaine4883 If that was my intention I might have mentioned them. But I'm sure OSN has no IDEA who Zodd is, has ZERO knowledge of Miura's work (As disturbingly amazing as it is) so those kinds of songs are a little less accessible. Bangers to be sure but do they have that GLORIOUS 80's hair metal cheese? Not really. What makes Beast in Black such an awesome band is they play everything our nostalgia remembers about 80's rock and metal. Killer riffs? Check. Lead singer who can sing like a girl when he wants to? Check. Synchronized Guitar theatrics? Check. Rock Ballads? Check. Ridiculous over the top lyrics sung with absolute seriousness? oh you better believe that's a check.

[@mikkolaine4883]

Okay we are totally in different leaves then coz I think the second album be BiB was damn lame with the hair style rock instead of metal 😅 Even I don't know who Zodd is but it's a pretty good song 😁

[@dannew1732]

Black Ninja is pushing her vocals a bit more, it's not super heavy but more metal.

[@Idefixu]

I like that one better than this. Matter of taste of course.

[@wrenchbrewery3120]

The message is the best......every one is beautiful if not outside but always inside....:-)

[@mikkolaine4883]

Battle Beast is amazing live band! Let's put it up a notch and take same fast and heavy bangers: -Bastard Son of Odin -Golden Horde -Raise Your Fists -Beyond the Burning Skies

[@tusanen1850]

Nora has done many quest appearances also. Another Finnish hidden gem you would like is Sonata Arctica. Band full of skilled musicians and singer who gives everything in every song! Singer Tony Kakko and Nightwish wizard Tuomas are best friends.

[@Idefixu]

Sonata Arctica, "White Pearl Black Oceans" Kemi Open Air 2009, "My Land" Masters of Rock 2015?, "Replica" Wacken 2008?, "Victoria's Secret" Live in Oulu? "Tallulah" YLE TV Live (I hope my memory serves me about right when it comes to the year of performance.)

[@Abimelech75]

As another 45ish year-old like yourself, I have listened to a lot of the same music you've mention listening to back in the day. So, that being said I think you would really get a kick out of Battle Beast's song King for a Day.

[@dandyprime5338]

Definitely gotta do "Black Ninja", "King for a Day", and "The Golden Horde". Also, more Amaranthe with their songs "Fearless", "Archangel", and "BOOM!"

[@wine.knight]

Awesome reaction! I really like your take on the message of the song. We definetly need more uplifting stories like this! In my opinion, this was one of their softer songs so you really need to try something else like "The Ecplise" or "Straight to the Heart"

[@frankmcfrank392]

Hi, really enjoying your reactions, including this one, thanks! Personally, I don’t like placing bands in strict genres (rock vs metal and its subgenres), but it does create a frame of reference about what you’re expecting to hear in terms of guitar & drum sounds and vocals. I did listen to the 80s Hair Metal Bands and Metallica back in the day, but now I’ve just started to rediscover metal this year (took a detour and got back into metal through classic metal covers by Steve’n’Seagulls). I do enjoy some power metal and also these bands that venture into hard rock and power metal, depending on the song and on what definition you want to use. Noora can do metal screams like Ronnie James (check out Black Ninja), but there is a very basic rock feel with a steady 4/4 beat in their songs. There is another, related band called Beast in Black, which was started by Battle Beast’s original guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen. They have a male singer with a very unique voice, I suggest that you should check out Blind and Frozen from them. I would place them close to the 80s synth-driven hair metal genre. Both bands have a few great songs, but they are just a bit too sweet and sugar-coated for my daily music consumption. But getting to the more metal side of things, and since I saw your reaction on the Eluveitie song, I would say that you would probably enjoy some of my favourites like - Amorphis: Death of a King (quite heavy sound and vocals, but this one has a special twist featuring someone from Eluveitie). The Bee is another great song by Amorphis, but the only video with good sound quality is the official lyric video. - Nightwish: I Want My Tears Back (again, featuring a special celtic instrument, introducing you to their 6th member, Troy Donockley). For this one I would recommend the Buenos Aires 2018 live video, which has a great audience and interaction with Floor & the band. The Wacken version is ok too, but for this one it’s good to check out the newer concert. Nightwish does venture into folk metal at times and I think they do it well. IMO it started with their old cover of Over the Hills, but got more interesting after Troy started appearing in their songs after 2007-08. Elan is another good example and one of the few Nightwish songs with a real music video. The new album is a bit of a hybrid with some folk instruments and vibes in many songs, but I guess that Harvest would be the most folk metal song in there, so please check out their new stuff after a few more of the older live videos.

[@nikolaforro8597]

If you like Noora's voice, you really need to hear Battle Beast - Let it Roar 🙂

[@oceansoul085]

Yessssss

[@Gilroben]

MORE UNLEASH THE ARCHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERSSS! Through Stars Soulbound

[@OlettaLiano]

Love your reactions and your take on the music. Thanks.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

I appreciate that!

[@OlettaLiano]

@@OldSkuleNerd All true, and you're not old, by the way. I was already playing bass in a band when you were in elementary school.

[@jasonfisher8529]

This is great. There's just a flow to their sort of ever-changing set of melodic changes. Delicious.

[@jessief5047]

The scandinavien guys are like that with the look 😊

[@843Tank]

The tempos, vocal styles, mood, etc all change throughout these - check them out! Devon Townsend - Kingdom Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine Slipknot - The Nameless Lamb of God - Overlord Mushroomhead - We Are the Truth

[@Fazz25]

Straight to the Heart, the best description I love for it is "Bonnie Tyler on steroids".

[@marcusviniciusmagalhaesdea3779]

You should check Beast in Black.

[@TheGuyderman]

You did Amaranthe covering Sabaton's '82nd All the Way' Then Noora singing with Amaranthe Now you should bring it full circle & check out 'Out of Control' by Battle Beast and then check out Sabaton's cover of it from their 2104 album 'Heroes'

[@pamf.3290]

There's definately something in the water in the Netherlands &, of course, copious amounts of hair conditioner in their budgets. ☺️ 🤣

[@philipb3030]

Discovered you last night and went through all your reactions. Subscribe right away. I’m going to suggest my favorite band cradle of filth. But I’m going to suggest their more commercial nymphetamine fix. ( they have guest vocals from the singer from leaves eyes). But after that I would suggest something like her ghost in the fog ( guest vocals Doug Bradley aka pinhead from hellraiser but you have to read the lyrics because Danni is one of the best lyricists )

[@MY-se1jf]

Song: Iron Hand!

[@karipiispanen3336]

Battle Beast new songs like Eden may differ from their older songs also because some years ago the band had to "let go" their old guitarist Anton Kabanen who up until that time was behind all or at least most of the songs and who controlled (too much so it appears) how the band sounded like.

[@tasminoben686]

Hi Tightpocketnerd.. Very good Reactions! I was a long Hair Viking, like this Guys.. But it was 50 Years back.. Now i have - no - long Hair.. But a long Face. XD Thanks i enjoy your Reactions! Be careful Son

[@jessief5047]

Love this song 🤘

[@jerrydotzler6270]

Another amazing reaction!!! So glad I found your channel!! You gotta react to Insects by Darko US!!! 🤘

[@xotox83]

the song 'Lionheart' has got more power and her voice sounds amazing in this song. You can also try their cover of the W.A.S.P. song 'Wild Child'. Usually I'm not a big fan of cover songs but this one is awesome.

[@1981juhis]

Kinda happy that you chosed this one to be your first song because after Black Ninja every song feels a bit dull😅.... This is pretty good song too (from their newest album) but to be honest I'm not SO much into their newer stuff and I like more their not SO poppy songs like Enter The Metal World, Show Me How To Die, Into the heart Of Danger, or Black Ninja from their two first albums🤘... So maybe there's something to add on your list😅

[@aleksanderdomanski222]

If You want to know how to look that good watch band Korpiklaani (also from Finland) and ist song "Vodka". (or "Tequila" if u want see really funny video). Im from Poland (close to Finland, and like Fins), look like You (big beardy bear), think similary and have similar sense of humor. I like it, You gonnna love it. Trust me. (its a banger) ps: Battle Beast are Fins too. Like a Nightwish and lots other bands.

[@thomaspurvis8047]

I'D like to suggest Bringer Of Pain from Battle Beast. They have moved away from the harder edge stuff with the exit of one of their main songwriters( now with Beast In Black)over the last couple albums. I saw them a couple years ago and they killed it. I have yet to find a live video with good audio so listen to the official video of Bringer Of Pain. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

[@maggaw9869]

Magnus Karlssons Free Fall " Oueen of Fire " feat Noora louhimo official video. Hammerfall & Noora Louhimo Second to One official Music Video.

[@dontirri]

Dude. You should check out "enter the metal world" from their first album. It has the original vocalist on it and I personally think she's better than Noora. That's subjective of course but it'd be nice to see you draw your own conclusion ^^

[@boardgameswede1930]

Most of their songs are pretty good, but my god... Straight To The Heart is the best. Her vocals are so epic in that!

[@minotaurforge]

Lol love it what's with all the pretty guys

[@OldSkuleNerd]

I swear all Nordic men come in two Flavors either Viking Warlords with epic bears or Beautiful Prince Charmings..... UGH its disgusting to have such epic genetics......

[@minotaurforge]

Lol I hear ya man. Have to say it again though you need to react to liliac the singer melody has a voice you have to hear

[@brittjannesath2539]

If you want more goodlooking vikings with long hair and a viking godess. Check out Brothers of metal, their Yggdrasil or Prophesy of ragnarök is awsome metal and 3 vocalists. Swedish band, from the same place in Sweden as Sabaton. Then we get your history in norse mythology to look forward to since their lyrics are about norse mythology

[@minotaurforge]

@@brittjannesath2539 well if he dont look into it I will love me some Norse mythology myself

[@brittjannesath2539]

@@minotaurforge cant get any better than learning history/mythology with metal.

[@Gilroben]

Bro you will love this band, but you pick the most tasteless song of them. People are just giving you their poppier songs. I suggest "Familiar Hell" and "Straight to the Heart".

[@TheGuyderman]

100% agree - Unbroken is great too!

[@homersimpson2735]

I don't understand why you rate the video and not the amazing singing and expansion of the singer and the super band?Maybe you should have reacted to pop.
