The Nordic weeks in Rock over Germany have been going on. After last weeks ‘Glory And The Beast‘ tour with one of Finland’s finest BEAST IN BLACK, another headliner from Finland’s power-metal top-notch acts conquered the German concert venues with a show deluxe: BATTLE BEAST.

First to open up the night was German-rooted international outfit INDUCTION with their symphonic influenced progressive metal style. A worthy opening act that caught the audience immediately. An energy-loaded gig and a charismatic vocalist with a great voice set the heat-level one notch up, just for starters. It was not present at any time that the band has undergone personal change lately.

Next on stage: SAINT DEAMON. The Swedish 4-piece metal band delivered a successful performance, but couldn’t quite match the opener INDUCTION. Powerful rock with a high voice that slightly reminiscent of the band BULLET. Solid.

Finally, headliner BATTLE BEAST gave themselves a very theatrical stage entrance. The light show and special effects (fog and fireworks) came up, and the mood was elevated to a new level. They kicked off with an explosion of power metal and charismatic stage presence. Stunning the crowd from the start, get their audience to dance and chant along to their song repertoire. The Finnish band delivered a stunning performance, led by the impressive vocal prowess of Noora Louhimo. Her massive stage presence in combination with an extraordinary outfit is just simply captivating everybody’s attention. All other band members, dressed simply in black, got a little less attention. They became a main attraction in the moments when Noora left the stage and a small instrumental interlude of KISS ‘I was made for lovin’ you’ was intoned, as well as a sing-a-long to some love pop song.

Another triumphant night of power-metal!
