Battle Beast - "Master Of Illusion" (video)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
who’s the greatest of them all?
I’m the master of illusion
welcome to my mad delusion
I’m the one who makes the rules
for the heroes and the fools
I can tear down angels from the sky
and make Mona Lisa cry
You can hear the weeping violins
long before the bitter end begins
You can see the strings and puppeteer
before the dusk will make them disappear
The game is over
No more rounds to play, it’s time to pay
Who’s got the joker?
The game is over
Who’s got the joker
to kill the lies and make your heart recall
there’s no other sky to fall
The dominoes of greed
are falling for your endless needs
You’re the master of illusion
lost in your sad delusion
Every time you roll the dice
we’re the ones who pay the price
While the oceans boil for your games
you just feed the flames
You can hear the weeping violins
long before the bitter end begins
You can see the strings and puppeteer
before the dusk will make them disappear
The game is over
No more rounds to play, it’s time to pay
Who’s got the joker?
The game is over
Who’s got the joker
to kill the lies and make your heart recall
there’s no other sky to fall
And you will ask:
“Which one am I?
Am I dead or still alive?”
Reflections of the real fade
The stranger in the mirror remains
Can you hear the weeping violins
and cut the strings before the end begins?
The game is over
No more rounds to play, it’s time to pay
Who’s got the joker?
The game is over
Who’s got the joker?
We are the ones; we hold the cards
There’s no other sky to fall

Μας έρχονται από την Φινλανδία, χαρακτηρίζουν την μουσική τους ως "party power metal" και αναφέρουν ως αγαπημένους καλλιτέχνες τους Manowar και τους ABBA. Ο λόγος για τους Battle Beast, οι οποίοι δημιουργήθηκαν το 2005. Πέντε χρόνια αργότερα (κι αφού είχαν κυκλοφορήσει τέσσερα demos) κερδίζουν τον διαγωνισμό "Metal Battle Contest" στο φεστιβάλ Wacken Open Air κι από τότε αρχίζει ουσιαστικά η δισκογραφική τους πορεία. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει πέντε "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους με τον έκτο να είναι προ ων πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Circus of Doom" κι αναμένεται στα ξεκινήματα του νέου έτους...
Δελτίο τύπου: «After re-signing to Nuclear Blast in early 2021, the Finnish heavy metal sextet Battle Beast are once again getting ready to unleash their force upon the world in the shape of their brand new masterpiece "Circus of Doom". The album is set to be released on January 21st 2022 via Nuclear Blast and in true Battle Beast fashion, the 10 tracks blend true heavy metal with pop and rock-vibes, paired with Noora Louhimo’s unique voice. “Our goal was to make an interesting and absorbing album, with both lighter party songs and heavier stuff as well. In a way the whole album is like a joyful day at the circus. Full of enchanting surprises and wild carnival atmosphere”, explains keyboardist Janne Björkroth.»
Janne Björkroth (comments on the single): «The first single from the upcoming Battle Beast album, ‘Master of Illusion’, is a groovy and catchy song that makes dance floors roar and disco balls explode. The story of the song is about a self-centered, greedy, narrow-minded, and thoughtless character, who sows destruction all around without listening to or respecting others. The character may represent various things in the many arenas of power - for example, those of personal relationships, as well as in politics, and everywhere in between. Despite these heavy themes, there is playfulness in the composition, lyrics, and production, and the small twinkle in the corner of the eye that characterises Battle Beast.»
