12 Great Things In Metal This Week (18th Dec)
8. Battle Beast Announces First Ever Headlining UK Tour And Releases "King For A Day" Single
And we're back to tour stuff again! But to be fair, this is a very special chunk of gig news as grandiose Finnish metallers Battle Beast confirm their first EVER headlining trek across the UK.
It may be short at only three dates, but allow me to be the first to extend some hard-earned congratulations to the band. The six-piece will be hot off their upcoming Bringer of Pain album when they make the journey to Blighty, with support coming in the form of German rockers Majesty.
It's a double bill of European rock that metalheads of the UK cannot miss. And to top it all off, this Thursday added fuel to the fire as Battle Beast unveiled the first single from Bringer of Pain: "King for a Day". Melodic, bombastic, solo-filled and refreshingly over-the-top, the track is a powerful anthem that prides itself in its beautiful, campy excess.
