Finnish heavy metal powerhouse BATTLE BEAST has officially announced their upcoming album Steelbound, and unleashed its thunderous title track as the first single. Packed with soaring vocals and electrifying riffs, the new release marks the beginning of a powerful new era for the band.
Finnish powerhouse BATTLE BEAST storms forward with unrelenting force, dropping their electrifying new single 'Steelbound', which also lends its name to their highly anticipated seventh studio album, set for release in October.
"'Steelbound' is a song that is both heavy and light at the same time. It goes through the walls with a bang, both in terms of composition and lyrics, without forgetting the groove and the little twinkle in the eye," says Janne Björkroth, the band's keyboardist, producer, and composer of the track.
A thunderous anthem of defiance and resilience, 'Steelbound' is a power-charged battle cry for all who have ever been dismissed, diminished, or silenced.
"'Steelbound' is a song about all of us. About the power to resist injustice and the respect that belongs to everyone. Sometimes the settings can be a little off, but you can, and should, constantly adjust your attitudes." Janne reflects.
Noora Louhimo adds: "As a child, I was bullied at school, and as an adult, I've experienced misogyny and sexism in my professional and private life. Through all these experiences, I've become a person who always fights against injustice. 'Steelbound' is a power song for all of us trying to navigate difficult life situations and relationships. The song deals with painful things, but at the same time, it gives us strength to keep fighting against the world's injustices. Let's rise together, because we are 'Steelbound!'"
As BATTLE BEAST continue to build anticipation for their upcoming album, 'Steelbound' marks yet another blazing chapter in the band's epic journey—one that promises to set the metal world ablaze.
The single is accompanied by a stunning music video that visually amplifies the song's firece spirit and message of empowerment, delivering a cinematic experience as powerful as the track itself.
