Beast in Black is a Finnish Power Metal band formed by former Battle Beast guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen after leaving his former group in 2015.Like Battle Beast, Beast in Black is a tribute band to '80s Hard Rock and Speed Metal, fronted by Greek vocalist Yannis Papadopoulos (Wardrum), and again writes at least half its songs about the Dark Fantasy manga Berserk. Also like Battle Beast, Beast in Black started its career opening for Nightwish, this time before even having their first album out. Berserker would ultimately come out in November 2017. After the album's release they toured with Nightwish again as support for the European portion of the Decades World Tour.Members: Kasperi Heikkinen - guitars Atte Palokangas - drums (2018-) Yannis Papadopoulos - vocals Anton Kabanen - guitars Mate Molnar - bassFormer members: Sami Hänninen - drums (2015-2018)Discography: Berserker (2017) From Hell With Love (2019) Dark Connection (2021)

Rape as Drama: "The Fifth Angel" shows the Eclipse from Berserk's Golden Age arc (about which Anton Kabanen wrote several songs for Battle Beast) from Griffith/Femto's point of view, mentioning his rape of Casca in the chorus.

Genre Shift: Berserker and From Hell with Love are Heavy Mithril albums mainly inspired by Berserk. Dark Connection takes a hard turn into cyberpunk.

Villain Song: Plenty. "Hell for All Eternity" is about Griffith's sacrifice of the Hawks to the God Hand, "The Fifth Angel" concerns his rape of Casca, and "Zodd the Immortal" is about Zodd the Immortal. "Repentless" is a unique version, in that it at first seems heroic, only for Griffith to remind you of his true colors in the second verse. "Unlimited Sin" is about pledging one's soul to demons for the sake of power.

Call-and-Response Song: The verses of "Zodd the Immortal" have Yannis and Anton alternating lines. It's especially noticeable if you listen with headphones: Yannis is almost entirely on the right ear while Anton occupies the left.

Hunter of His Own Kind: "Blade Runner" describes Rick Deckard as "a killer of his own kind", referencing the theory that main character Rick Deckard is in fact a Replicant himself (the film left it ambiguous and the creators disagree whether he isinvoked).

The Berserker: As if the first album's title didn't already tip you off. Notably, the song "Beast in Black" is about Guts and the Unstoppable Rage he unleashes upon his enemies once he becomes the Black Swordsman. "Zodd the Immortal" also applies being as Zodd is an example of a berserker as well.

Genre Mashup: Beast in Black is a mishmash of Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Power Metal, and Speed Metal, and additionally leans on synthpop influence even more than Battle Beast does, especially on From Hell with Love. Check out "Die By the Blade".

Cyberpunk: Dark Connection shifts away from Berserk to tributing cyberpunk anime and manga. The video for "Moonlight Rendezvous" is a Whole-Plot Reference to Armitage III and the song features a quote from the 1995 OVA. The opening lines of "Revengeance Machine" is taken directly from Cyber City Oedo 808. "One Night in Tokyo" is about traveler to Tokyo falling in with a nightclub dancer after robot soldiers storm the place. "Blade Runner" is of course, a tribute to the movie of the same name.
