Check out "From Hell With Love" and "Sweet True Lies" from these guys! Now I'm gonna go listen to them all day haha

[@xiphos8219]

Or given that he made the Rocky comparison, No Easy Way Out.

[@TheDevicemanager]

You should checkout the nightcore remix of from hell with love. It's pretty good

Not all day. 12 hours beast in black 12 hours sabaton

[@nelsondawson9706]

I love sweet true lies

[@jaredlaughlin3703]

From their newest album, I also recommend "Bella Donna," "Blade Runner," "Broken Survivors" and "Moonlight Rendezvous." Their most recent album "Dark Connection" is just sublime.

[@StergiosMekras]

Power Metal with an 80's vibe? I'm in.

[@Mononokecat]

Fun fact: the band name "Beast in Black" and the many themes and subjects in the songs were inspired by the dark fantasy manga "Berserk"! And yes, this band's sound is very "cheesy" sounding in the best way possible. Very fun, energetic, and the melodies will get stuck in your head all day. Like many have mentioned, the self titled song "Beast in Black", and "Die by the Blade" are some good listens! I'd also reccomend "Zodd the Immortal" which is more aggressive and I think really shows what Yannis is capable of.

[@Minotaur-ey2lg]

Yeah, but isn’t all power metal kinda cheesy? Doesn’t mean I don’t love it.

[@BigScarab90]

Check the chorus of Judas Priest's Night Crawler ;) It's a double reference

[@NomN83]

@@Minotaur-ey2lg plz define cheesy!

[@zjjohnson3827]

I recently found their Unlimited Sin, and I can listen to that song on loop for hours Reveangeance Machine and the above one are just both such pure adrenaline pumpers

[@_Frosty.1]

Intro music: hammerfall - Hearts on Fire Outro music blind guardian - Mirror Mirror

[@TankTheTech]

Thought it was somewhat fitting. haha

[@BamaGrammy]

I love Hammerfall! I'm loving Dominion and Hectors Hymn. To me this band is good ol fashion hard rock n roll👊

[@crabuki1273]

Hammerfall came through Atlanta in the late 90s for the first time, and I vividly remember Oscar Dronjak's stick-like long arms, like there was no muscle at all. Didn't stop him from playing some fun metal music, though.

[@deranged5322]

Saw Hammerfall live opening for Sabaton last year. Man that was a show!

[@MichalPalcinsky]

He seriously needs Ensiferum. Finns are da best in music.

[@joaolima2935]

Yes! I would suggest Lai la hei, iron, hero in a dream, into Battle.....

[@tapsavaan1671]

And i recommend this Finnish band too : Turisas - Stand up and fight.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

@@tapsavaan1671 Great song & the video is like the Finnish version of Mad Max The Road Warrior.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

As a Finn I wouldn't know as we only have little over 700 metal bands per 1M inhabitants, but since no other country comes even close, I'll agree with you.

[@joaolima2935]

As a non-finn I'm fuckin jealous of you guys 😤😅

[@gilganos5276]

Beast in Black: "From Hell with Love", "The Fifth Angel", "Crazy, Mad, Insane". Also Yannis' Cover of Ghost Love Score... ;-)

[@Heidi_J82]

I'm glad to see another one here who really likes Crazy, Mad, Insane. It's one of my favourites.

[@horseshoe_nc]

Crazy, Mad, Insane is an awesome one.

[@coldvoid6163]

Seconding this. Also Zodd the immortal. Some more love for Berzerk my dudes.

[@Jaguarmaserati]

WHAT!?!? HE COVERED GHOST LOVE SCORE!?!? Be back in like 20 minutes. Also, Crazy, Mad, Insane is a GREAT song.

[@justinbowe38]

Yes you must check put hsi cover of ghost love score Yannis is the goat

[@mesiah21]

This is 80's cheese power metal...with the modern stylistics. If 80's metal was like this, it would have been so much better. They really went into the 80's vibe in the next album. They are definitely going for a certain style. Loved the reaction...you def have a new sub!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton, Ryan!

[@carolusbillius6726]

I saw them as a pre-show for Nightwish, and I had never heard of them, but the performance was great, Yannis’s singing was amazing, all the songs were catchy as hell and I was singing along even during this first hearing. And the synchronised guitar movements are fun as hell. I really really like their song “Beast In Black” (a lot of songs of their album Berserker ar based on a manga/anime called Berserk), so please react to that song please :-) They were super nice (you could talk with them after the concert) and people were buying loads of records and CDs from them, so they made a big impression!

[@monkgole4727]

i went to the nightwish tour just to see them :D

[@FreeOfFantasy]

With his previous band Battle Beast about halve the songs he wrote were Berserk themed. He seems to have two modes, Berserk and bygone love songs.

[@EkawarGehuara]

Same for me

[@jamieslingsby9907]

Same here, saw them supporting nightwish. loved them, checked them out the next day. bought both albums a few weeks later.

[@wallieoceanborn]

The Rocky connection isn't that weird, they actually did a cover of "No Easy Way Out" from Rocky 4 on their last album

[@TankTheTech]

No way! Haha

[@stevehill9167]

Yeah and personally I think that the Beast In Black version is better than the original. And don’t get me wrong, I love the Rocky IV soundtrack and the film.

[@Triskaan]

But did you knooooooooow... Yannis, the singer, made a cover of Ghost Love Score on his channel. Worth a detour though I wish he'd strayed away more from the original. :) ... and judging by the Tank Note that just popped up as I typed those words, yeah, you do. Btw, I think Powerwolf and Ensiferum are two of the biggest power/folk bands you havent checked yet, could be cool one of these days ! :) But when it comes to Power, I'm mostly waiting for more Blind Guardian / Iced Earth / Demons & Wizards tbf. ^^

[@mishiou7244]

This is the most refreshing band I've heard in ages. I discovered this after listening to Battle beast.

[@christiannystrom1120]

you need to listen to Beast in black - Beast in black . the best song of that album!

[@floor2704]

Yes! I totally agree! :D

[@xagral]

Exactly this! 😊

[@miikasuominen3845]

Was just going to post the same thing. Also, a live version of that, from Lankafest Puolanka is great. Though it's not professional quality, but performance excellent!

[@QforzFovfi]

They were the openers of the last Nightwish concert I went to, great introduction to get the crowd hyped and a very cool combination with Nightwish. Afterwards, the singer of this band covered Ghost Love Score from Nightwish, fantastically.

[@Tounushi]

The interiors were filmed in Raasepori castle. When I visited that way with some friends, it was closed for bridge maintenance, but the ruin was still impressive from the outside (funny thinking how the hill it's on was an island). The most memorable thing was the jackdaws. Every hole and crevice had a pair of blue eyes just staring out of the darkness.

[@brodiegriffith3107]

This was the first song I listened to when I first found them and totally thought it was a female voice. One of the guitarists left Battle Beast and founded Beast In Black and is the "beast" as he does some very interesting growls/screams. As Battle Beast is female fronted i thought it was female as well until i got to other songs. Also Yannis's cover of Ghost Love Score is great. Most of their songs have a 80's vibe with the synths but it makes nearly all their songs just soooo catchy.

[@deniserodrigues1410]

If i would named their style would be "disco metal". From Hell with Love is one of my favorite songs by them. Greetings from Brazil. 🤘🇧🇷

[@Minotaur-ey2lg]

Some people are turned off by his voice, which I don’t personally agree with but can understand, but you can’t deny he is very talented.

[@andrewcook6608]

I had this song in my head for about 2 months straight when I first heard it. Super catchy!

[@athrunzala798]

I'm sure others have said this, but you should look into Wagakki Band. They're a Japanese band that blends new and old instruments. Also Beast in Black has an awesome 80s feel in alot of their songs

[@shadowheart4606]

Wow... great u did this Song.... first Time hearing this, i was confused.. not looking.. only the Voice... and than... wtf... its awesome... i saw them Live.. and he realy does that.....

3:07 Speaking of Rocky, they did a cover of "No Easy Way Out," you should check it out, it's awesome(although seeing this in 2022 with an upload date in 2020, you may already have listened to it).

Having seen them live in the last year I can confirm, so much fun. And yes that singer can perform those notes live incredibly well

[@ImThatBloke]

Going back through all your vids, Best reactor analyst channel, that "if i get comments saying this isnt power metal, F#$k off" had me in stitches

[@weaselrider]

You really gotta do some Rhapsody of Fire!

[@piderman871]

"Easy listening" power metal

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

Their riffs are a lot heavier than power metal on average... and the singer's voice is a lot higher than what most people are used to... I wouldn't really call it easy listening

[@Minotaur-ey2lg]

MyFaceIsMyShield Kinda reminds me of heavier Judas Priest.

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

@@Minotaur-ey2lg reminds me of Primal Fear (who are basically just a more aggressive Judas Priest)

[@ChuuniKaede]

@@Minotaur-ey2lg What era of Priest because Priest Painkiller Era and onward is 100% proto-power metal and 100% heavier than BiB's heaviest songs. Their 70's~early 80's era stuff was more NWOBHM and generally lighter than stuff that Maiden put out but around the late 80s and onwards Priest began putting heavy emphasis on a heavier sound. The entire Angel of Retribution album is extremely heavy compared to their older songs. BiB sounds more like Hammerfall, Battle Beast (the founders previous band), Powerwulf, etc.

[@sannis.8075]

Oh yes! This band is also so much fun to watch live 👍😊

[@mannequin7775]

They have Motorhead's cover Killed By Death on this album. My best recommendation. And mix of power metal with 80's electropop is their feature. Listen Battle Beast's song Touch In The Night. Battle Beast is previous band of their guitarist Anton.

[@Imurai]

I freakin' LOVE Battle Beast! If BiB is stereotypical powermetal, BB is stereotypical middle-of-the-rod heavy.

[@MadCat-75]

Fun fact: the large large castle is "Schloss Neuschwanstein" in Bavaria, Germany. I bet, the indoorshots are from another location.

[@elhepe1290]

You bet they are! :) There won't be any shooting of metal music videos inside that castle unfortunately :D

[@brodogolf_the_black]

I love the blind guardian mirror mirror in the background of your summary :)

[@Renkaru]

I love how Power Metal is pretty diverse, you get stuff like this and Gloryhammer, and then you have more heavy and serious like Jag Panzer and Kamelot.

[@rominesque2921]

I almost universally hear Kamelot lumped in with symphonic metal

[@Renkaru]

@@rominesque2921 It's a rather common misconception. I'm not much of a genre gatekeeper/nerd, but just personally I think of "symphonic metal" not really a genre, since there are so many genres within metal that use symphonic metal. From Nightwish and Kamelot to Fleshgod Apocalypse and Shadow of Intent. Just like with pirate metal and viking metal, they're just loose terms describing an aspect of the music, like themes or a musical element, like the use of orchestration.

[@rominesque2921]

@@Renkaru I'd argue the symphonic metal genre as its commonly understood definitely has its own trappings both musical and aesthetic, which Kamelot falls into quite a few of. Especially post-Silverthorn.

[@Renkaru]

@@rominesque2921 I agree and see where you're coming from, but its still power metal at the essence of their music. Their overall song writing is still very much indicative of that. Labels and genres don't mean that much to me, I just like know about the specifics of a band, and understand their nuances. All I would say is Symphonic Metal alone is not a genre, but you can definitely say Kamelot is Symphonic Power Metal, which would be correct in explaining their sound and aesthetic. If that makes sense.

[@ladislaualbert2807]

Just discovered this band as well and also thought there was a female and male vocalist before seeing the video. Great reaction. Also, nice Hammerfall Hearts on Fire in intro and Blind Guardian Mirror Mirror outro background. Power metal for life!!!! (also symphonic, prog, thrash!!)

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Fun reaction. Yannis also did a cover of Nightwish's Ghost Love Score. :D

[@nimedhel09]

Beast in Black! I saw them opening for Nightwish and it was so much fun! I was already acquainted with their material, but my boyfriend wasn't and he told me it made him think of 80's-90's rock bands, and I kind of get why.

[@DPDaRK]

Hey Tank! always showing urs awesome reactions. From this band they have 2 albums, i know the second one "Berserker" is a oda to "Berserk" manga (the best in all). His songs titled "Beast in Black" and "Die by the Sword" are my favourites. Enjoy!

[@mattgilbert666]

One of the catchiest choruses ever. You'll have it in your head for days!

[@birgersandman2662]

Shoutouts to Hammerfall being the background music in the intro

[@ryansargent661]

I tend to categorize Beast in Black as 1980s Power Metal. The video of From Hell With Love is the most 80s thing I’ve seen since the 80s. I love the band, and yes it is great to just put on every so often to just have fun with Metal.

[@ayrie09]

Aw yes cheesy power metal with a hint of 80s. I love Beast in Black since I saw them as support for Nightwish on their Decades Tour in Germany. You can't go wrong with any of their songs! From Hell With Love is a favorite of mine. Also, I love that you have Blind Guardian in your outro! I hope we will see more of them on your channel! :)

[@razzledazzleist]

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSS so happy to see this! Beast in Black deserves all the recognition. They are freaking amazing!!! Both of their albums so far are so good. Other really great songs are Sweet True Lies, From Hell with Love, Zodd The Immortal, Bron Again, Cry out for a Hero, & Beast in Black. As everyone has mentioned, Yannis is a very (very very VERY) talented vocalist, you should check out his KZbin channel. The dude is probably one of THE BEST male vocalists out there. His cover of Ghost Love Score (GLS) is pretty epic (hoping one day he and FLoor perform it together live). Anton founded and was part of another Finnish - Beast in Black (there is a whole story there) who are also pretty good. Slightly cheesier but still good power metal. And their frontwoman is pretty amazing ( Noora Louhimo). Another recommendation for the power metally journey - give Powerwolf a go.

[@vanderg]

Definitely listen to From Hell With Love. At first I didn't like it much, but something about it grabbed me. A second time I thought ok this is pretty good. 3rd time I was in love. I would say that song specifically, is one of my favorite songs of all time. Probably my favorite song from the last 10 years even. I bought both their albums and they are so good! Wish I could see them live in concert

[@SuzanneVictoria42]

I know what you mean about the sound. I think it sounds like 80's movie or computer game music in the background of their songs.Then there's the powermetal over the top of it. Unique sound. From Hell with Love gives me a Top Gun - Dangerzone feeling even though the song is nothing like.

[@Dosenpruegel]

Hearts on fire in the intro... Tank I love you.

[@terryhenderson3490]

Power Metal with 80s synth stuff. Love it.

[@Rakkhot]

"Crazy Mad Insane" (Disco-Metal-Mix) "Oceandeep" (wonderful ballad) "Zodd the Immortal" (probably their hardest song) Yannis Papadopoulos is the singer, he has a youtube channel where he covers quite a few songs. Many of the songs and much of the art is inspired by the manga "Berserk".

Die By the Blade is my favorite song from these guys. Love this band.
