Battle Beast - Circus of Doom

[Everflow]

Sortie en janvier.

After re-signing to Nuclear Blast in early 2021, Finnish heavy metal sextet, Battle Beast, are once again getting ready to unleash their force upon the world in the shape of their brand new masterpiece, Circus Of Doom. The album is set to be released on January 21 via Nuclear Blast, and in true Battle Beast fashion, the 10 tracks blend true heavy metal with pop and rock-vibes, paired with Noora Louhimo’s unique voice.

"Our goal was to make an interesting and absorbing album, with both lighter party songs and heavier stuff as well. In a way the whole album is like a joyful day at the circus. Full of enchanting surprises and wild carnival atmosphere", explains keyboardist Janne Björkroth.

Today, the band reveal a music video for the first single, "Master Of Illusion", directed by Markus Nieminen, that you can watch below. Get the single digitally here.

Janne comments on the single: "The first single from the upcoming Battle Beast album, Master Of Illusion, is a groovy and catchy song that makes dance floors roar and disco balls explode. The story of the song is about a self-centered, greedy, narrow-minded, and thoughtless character, who sows destruction all around without listening to or respecting others. The character may represent various things in the many arenas of power – for example, those of personal relationships, as well as in politics, and everywhere in between. Despite these heavy themes, there is playfulness in the composition, lyrics, and production, and the small twinkle in the corner of the eye that characterizes Battle Beast."

Bien sympa les deux. La balance penche un peu trop coté synthés pour le premier mais c'est rattrapé par le coté "funky". Et puis je trouve la chanteuse classe dans le clip.

Je pourrais rajouter "Circus of Doom" à ma liste de course pour Janvier.

J'accroche moins à ce titre, mais le boulot est propre, net et sans bavure. Eux au moins ont fait celui que Sabaton aurait dû faire sur le dernier titre que tu as posté.

Symphonie de synthés très ambitieuse pour le premier, construction classique mais où les grattes jouent les premiers rôles pour le second. Le truc c'est que l'autre tombe un peu à plat par rapport à l'un.
