BEAST IN BLACK — An Evening in Taipei
Influenced by Judas Priest, Manowar, Black Sabbath, W.A.S.P., and Accept, Finland’s rising heavy/power metal band BEAST IN BLACK will storm Taiwan this September.
Band Members
• Anton Kabanen — guitarist and creative mastermind
• Yannis Papadopoulos — vocalist with a “demonic” ultra‑wide vocal range
• Máté Molnár — bassist, a top talent across economics, engineering, and music
• Atte Palokangas — drummer, formerly of Finland’s Thunderstone
Musical Style
BEAST IN BLACK’s songs are instantly recognizable — blending traditional heavy metal riffs with 1980s disco pop, electronic disco, and punk elements. Fans often call their style “disco metal”, because it makes you want to dance even in a live house.
Discography & Achievements
• 2017 debut album Berserker gained widespread attention, charting across Europe.
• 2019 From Hell With Love earned platinum certifications and award nominations.
• 2022 & 2025 — won “Metal of the Year” and “New Generation Metal” awards.
Inspiration
Their visuals and lyrics draw heavily from Kentaro Miura’s epic dark fantasy manga Berserk, creating the band’s symbol “Black Beast.” They also explore sci‑fi and social themes.
Their track Enter the Behelit ties into the ARPG Diablo IV, delivering high‑energy immersion for players.
Expect a stage with no dull moments — soaring vocals, electrifying riffs, and the arrival of a new metal powerhouse in Taiwan.
