Battle Beast Unleashes New Single and Album Announcement
Finnish heavy metal sensation Battle Beast has once again captured the hearts of metal enthusiasts with their latest single, “Here We Are,” released today across all streaming platforms. This release marks the official announcement of their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Steelbound, set to drop on October 17, 2025 via Nuclear Blast.
A Bold Anthem of Resilience
“Here We Are” serves as the third single from Steelbound and presents a powerful message of resilience and unity. With thunderous guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and catchy hooks, the track embodies the spirit of overcoming challenges and standing strong together.
Joona Björkroth, the band’s songwriter, shares insights on the song’s theme: “‘Here We Are’ captures that moment after the storm has passed — you’ve faced challenges, been tested, and somehow come through the other side a little stronger, a bit wiser, and perhaps a bit more grounded. Things might not have gone perfectly, but you’ve endured. The song is a tribute to perseverance and resilience — to standing tall just the way you are, nothing more, nothing less.”
Vocalist Noora Louhimo adds, “We’ve all been down in the depths — each of us and all of us together. Still, we’ve always gotten back up, even if bruised and bloodied. And here we are still, stronger than ever. No matter how tough the journey, we’re always stronger when we face it together.”
Accompanying Music Video
The single is complemented by a visually stunning music video that encapsulates the song’s powerful message, showcasing the band’s signature dramatic flair.
