Anton Kabanen has pulled a Megadeth: immediately after his unceremonious ousting from Battle Beast, he went off to form his own band (with blackjack and hookers, presumably): Beast In Black, a band that seems specifically engineered to outperform Battle Beast and tell the world how pissed off Kabanen is. Sure enough, after two years of brewing and stewing, the project's full-length debut is at hand; this strategy worked for Dave Mustaine, but has it paid off for Anton Kabanen?

Very interested in hearing this. The two songs I heard so far promise an interesting mixture of heavy/power metal and poppy elements.

And I see it already has been found by at least one vote abuser. Oh well, it means it's one of the cool albums then I guess

This is a great album, I can't help thinking it's Nightwish from a parallel universe where they decided to ditch female vocals after Once.

Might vie with the Battle Beast album for my pick of the year. If only they'd stuck together...

This blows the latest Battle Beast album out of the water. If this is any indication of what they'll sound like going forward then I wholeheartedly endorse Anton leaving the band.

Why so sad? Is just the taste of those ones. If you don't agree, is up to you, my friend. Everything is just to respect everyone else's tastes

Sure buddy. I didn't mean to hurt anyone's sentiments as I am a music lover. I really didn't like the style and I wanted to express it bcos lot of good music has been denied such a good rating by MS friends.

In other things, one of the best albums released through this year IMHO A very fresh offer indeed. But surely not the best one for myself. Maybe Elvenking's one or Don't Drop the Sword and even Galderia were way better for myself.

I think this is their best, even back when Berserker was brand new I found myself enjoying it quite a bit. This is professionally produced big budget pop metal without all later the cheesy disco stuff. I'd even say this is way better than most of the albums Battle Beast have released so far, their earlier records were ok and listenable, but they went downhill fast after Anton Kabanen left the band.

You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like!
