Finnish female-frontmed metallers BATTLE BEAST have inked a deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The band’s debut album, “Steel” — which was originally released in Finland earlier this year via Hype Records — will be made available internationally on January 27, 2012.
Formed in 2008, BATTLE BEAST won the Wacken Open Air Metal Battle contest in Finland last year, enabling the band to perform at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany and represent its home country in the international Metal Battle finals. The group beat out 26 other acts from all around the world, which led to a record deal with the world’s biggest independent heavy metal label.
Commented Andy Siry, head of A&R at Nuclear Blast: “Young, dynamic but still deeply rooted in traditional heavy metal, BATTLE BEAST breathe new life into the scene and rekindle the sound of the ’80s with a fulgent livery. The well-deserved victory at the Wacken Open Air Metal Battle 2010 was the first important step to which we want to live up by supporting these up-and-coming talents energetically. We’re looking forward to the cooperation!”
Added BATTLE BEAST guitarist Anton: “We feel honoured that Nuclear Blast show their interest in BATTLE BEAST by releasing ‘Steel’. Many thanks to our partners, closest people and most of all to our fans who believed in us and gave us their support. The journey continues!”
BATTLE BEAST will support NIGHTWISH on a European tour beginning on April 11, 2012 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
