BEAST IN BLACK turns a reload slot into a soundtrack moment. When they take our stage in 2027, power metal anthems will meet a visual world that runs consistently throughout their work: dark fantasy, sci-fi glamour—and that distinct Berserk DNA, which for them functions not as a narrative but as a genuine core inspiration. Founder and lead songwriter Anton Kabanen has described how some of their songs are directly inspired by “Berserk” (manga/anime), while others draw on personal experiences and original stories.

Musically, it’s as melodic as it gets, as driving as it gets—but with a twist that makes them instantly recognizable. BEAST IN BLACK combine power metal with an ’80s sensibility for hooks and glitz: big choruses, clean lines, guitar riffs that take the lead, and a dramatic structure that makes every song feel like a scene.

And in person, it all comes together: relationships, literature, dark fantasy, science fiction—this range of themes is part of her world.

That’s exactly why a BEAST IN BLACK set feels like a good movie: The hooks stick with you—and the images keep playing in your mind long after you’ve headed back to the campground.

Reload 2027: This is going to be one of those performances that you don’t just hear—you take with you.
