On January 21, Battle Beast unleashed their brand new masterpiece, Circus Of Doom, via Nuclear Blast. In true Battle Beast fashion, the 10 tracks blend true heavy metal with pop and rock-vibes, paired with Noora Louhimo’s unique voice.
Today, they release their brand new stand-alone single "The Lightbringer", that is also featured on the bonus version of Circus of Doom set to be released on April 29th. Check out the song here.
The band comments: "We’re really happy to present you these two missing pieces of Circus of Doom that didn’t quite fit the album, but still deserve to be blasted from loudspeakers around the world. 'Lightbringer' presents the more dark and orchestral side of Battle Beast, that knocks you down with a catchy chorus and an absolute hurricane of guitars. Hope you all dig this one!"
The bonus version of Circus of Doom features two previously unreleased tracks and will also be released on vinyl. You can pre-order it now on iTunes here.
Since its release, the album has entered the charts worldwide, including #1 in their home country, Finland. Below is an overview of official chart results:
Finland: #1
UK: #1 (Rock), #6 (Indie)
Sweden: #1 (Hard Rock), #5 (Physical)

Eero Sipilä comments: "We are so grateful to our fans around the world for making Circus of Doom such a huge success. We can’t wait to take this album on the road and get to thank all of you face-to-face! The circus is coming to town!”
