Released in 2022, Circus of Doom sees Battle Beast deliver a high-impact fusion of power metal, melodic hooks, and arena-scale production. This 12″ vinyl LP captures the band’s signature blend of commanding vocals, precision guitar work, and cinematic songwriting — balancing aggression with polished, anthem-ready choruses.
 
Driven by the powerhouse voice of Noora Louhimo, the album moves confidently between driving metal riffs and melodic, almost theatrical moments. Tracks like “Master of Illusion,” “Eye of the Storm,” and the title track “Circus of Doom” showcase a band fully comfortable in their sound — bold, modern, and unapologetically dramatic.
 
Pressed on vinyl, the album’s layered production gains warmth and depth, allowing the synth textures, guitars, and percussion to breathe naturally. This is contemporary European power metal delivered with confidence and clarity.
