BATTLE BEAST‘s latest album, “Circus Of Doom”, arrived in January 2022 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Recorded at JKB Studios in Helsinki, Finland, “Circus Of Doom” underwent production and mixing under the guidance of keyboardist Janne Björkroth. The striking artwork accompanying the release was crafted by the talented Jan Yrlund.
“Our goal was to make an interesting and absorbing album, with both lighter party songs and heavier stuff as well,” explains Björkroth. “In a way the whole album is like a joyful day at the circus. Full of enchanting surprises and wild carnival atmosphere.”
BATTLE BEAST‘s frontwoman, Noora Louhimo, ventured into her solo career with the debut album “Eternal Wheel Of Time And Space,” released in March 2021 under the banner of the NOORA LOUHIMO EXPERIENCE.
Noora became part of BATTLE BEAST in 2012, stepping into the role of lead vocalist without prior experience in the metal genre. Despite lacking a background as a metal vocalist, she quickly adapted and proved to be a formidable replacement for Nitte Valo.
