Founded in 2015 by guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen, Beast In Black is a Helsinki-based international heavy metal band whose sound fuses powerful riffs with melodic hooks, dance-metal energy, and the drama of 1980s pop and electronic music. Lyrically, they draw on dark fantasy and sci-fi themes, with a particular passion for the manga Berserk. Known for their explosive live shows, the band has released three acclaimed albums, a string of singles and videos, and even collaborated with legendary video game series Diablo.
Beast In Black's debut album Berserker (2017) stormed the Finnish charts, earning platinum status, and their follow-up From Hell With Love (2019) also went platinum, cementing their reputation as one of the most exciting new forces in metal. In 2021, the band released their third album, Dark Connection, which debuted at number one in Finland and quickly went gold. By this stage, Beast In Black had become one of Finland’s most successful metal exports, headlining tours across Europe, North and South America, and Japan and appeared on the main stages of premier European festivals including Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and Graspop.
