Earlier this year, BATTLE BEAST unleashed their brand new masterpiece “Circus of Doom,” via Nuclear Blast. In true BATTLE BEAST fashion, the 10 tracks blend old school heavy metal with pop and rock-vibes, paired with Noora Louhimo’s unique voice.
Since its release, the album has entered the charts worldwide, including #1 in their homecountry Finland, #5 in Switzerland and #9 in Germany. Today, they’ve released release a special bonus version of “Circus of Doom”, that contains two additional songs – the recently released single ‘The Lightbringer’, and the brand new track ‘Tempest of Blades’, that is released today.
Eero Sipilä comments: “‘Tempest of Blades’ is a no-frills heavy metal assault on all senses, custom made to start a mosh-pit in your own living room. So turn up that volume and enjoy this last missing attraction to the Circus of Doom!”

“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. In a way the whole album is like a joyful day at the circus. Full of enchanting surprises and wild carnival atmosphere“, explains Janne.
