BATTLE BEAST‘s latest album, “Circus Of Doom”, was released in January 2022 via Nuclear Blast Records.
“Circus Of Doom” was recorded at JKB Studios in Helsinki, Finland and produced and mixed by keyboardist Janne Björkroth, while the stunning artwork was created by 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 singer Noora Louhimo released her debut solo album, “Eternal Wheel Of Time And Space”, in March 2021 under the NOORA LOUHIMO EXPERIENCE banner.
Louhimo joined BATTLE BEAST in 2012, with no previous experience as a metal vocalist but quickly acclimated herself as the replacement for Nitte Valo.
