Finnish power metal outfit Battle Beast have announced their upcoming seventh studio album, Steelbound, scheduled to arrive in October via Nuclear Blast Records. The group has recently unveiled a cinematic video for the title track, showcasing the band’s fresh direction.
Battle Beast will support Steelbound with an extensive European tour kicking off on October 17 in Hamburg, Germany. They’ll be joined by Dominum as special guests and Majestica as openers, with dates running through mid-December. Tickets are available at this location.
Keyboardist Janne Björkroth comments:
“‘Steelbound’ is a song that is both heavy and light at the same time. It goes through the walls with a bang, both in terms of composition and lyrics, without forgetting the groove and the little twinkle in the eye. ‘Steelbound’ is a song about all of us. About the power to resist injustice and the respect that belongs to everyone. Sometimes the settings can be a little off, but you can, and should, constantly adjust your attitudes.”
Vocalist Noora Louhimo adds:
“As a child, I was bullied at school, and as an adult, I’ve experienced misogyny and sexism in my professional and private life. Through all these experiences, I’ve become a person who always fights against injustice. ‘Steelbound’ is a power song for all of us trying to navigate difficult life situations and relationships. The song deals with painful things, but at the same time, it gives us strength to keep fighting against the world’s injustices. Let’s rise together, because we are ‘Steelbound!'”
