This song gives major power metal chords and themes and progression. And also the amaranthe song he listened to also had that feel but I’m unfamiliar with the rest of these two bands work so idk if they’re both full power metal but this is pretty cool.
every reaction video to this song, almost without fail: *synth starts* "okay..." *guitars start* "Alright!" *metal scream* "Yes!" *verse begins* "Wait what how"
Had only hears this on Spotify. It came up on my gym videos today and I nearly dropped the weights when I realised it was the same dude singing.. My reaction was basically Alex's but with a near miss from a dumbbell.
You ask “why is this the first time I am hearing this?”. It’s simple. You do rarely react to European bands anymore, I kind of only see American bands on your channel nowadays. You should definitely check out Yannis cover of “ghost live score”. It’s amazing. Cheers, William
man I was waiting for this. Your face when you heard Yannis' voice. well I know what you're gonna do for Y. his Cover of Ghost love score. (the dude's name is Yannis Papadopoulos)
@@YannisPapadopoulos Cheers and Happy new year. Yeah Greek isn't the easiest language out there and spelling in roman letters can sometimes look interesting if you don't know the rules^^
Finnish Anime metal. Fun fact the vast majority of Beast in Black's music (and pretty much all of From Hell with Love and Berserker) is based on the Berserk anime. The reason the guy in this video freaked out when she grabbed the necklace and she had dark visions when she found it with the dead face etc. Is that necklace is an artifact from hell in Berserk that basically steals your soul and makes you act without remorse.
Beast in black- Making 80's Metal great again!! One of my greatest discoveries in 2018. Saw them as an opener for nightwish! Freaking fun. The drumer is like animal (from muppets) on speed! and Yannis voice is like cotton candy! Their both records are bangers. Have fun! And I hope you react to more songs of them. Great reaction!
This type of metal is called Power Metal. Its defined by the soaring vocals, the light, spiralling guitar solos, and the subject matter tends to be about a) Brotherhood/ Comradery, 2) Overcoming Adversity, iii) Literally slaying dragons, or d) True Love. It’s so much fun. This is a great bad to see live too.
Cattle Decapitation is the most influential metal band in the recent years for me. They are insanely talented guys and they are continuously evolving album by album.
I did recommend this earlier. 😅 Happy to see that finally you checked this because Beast In Black is great band and Yannis Papadopoulos is definitely one of best vocalist ever! I recommend also to check his vocal cover-songs on his own TH-cam-page, his voice is incredible! 🤘🏻 And other my favorite songs, which I recommend to check, are Beast In Black, Cry Out of A Hero, End of the World.. this band not have any bad song. 😎🤘🏻
E for: Edguy: Rock of cashel or superheroes or Tears of a Mandrake. Any song wil do T for: Tobias Sammet's Avantasia: The Scarecrow or the Raven Child.
This is exatly how your face should look like when listening to a good song. No matter what style it is. Thats pure enjoyment and welcome to the world of (good) power metal
The exact reaction we all know was going to happen. We all hear a girl, but see a guy, thinking at some point they will show the girl.....but never happens
Nice! That's a new band I can cross off my list of bands you have never reacted to^^ Here is the list (in alphabetical order): • -Alice Cooper- (done) • -Amaranthe- (done) • -Beast in Black- (done) • Blackbriar • Delain • Equilibrium • Exit Eden • -Gloryhammer- (done) • Hammerfall • Heidevolk • Icon For Hire • Korpiklaani • Lordi • -Lord of the Lost- (done) • Manowar • -Nirvana- (done) • Sirenia • -Skillet- (done) • Sonata Arctica • Turisas • Týr • Van Canto • -Within Temptation- (done) • Xandria
Nice list. Only suggestions I would add are Savatage, Circle II Circle, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Jon Oliva’s Pain, and Archon Angel. No one reacts these bands except Savatage once in a while
Dude, I’ve been suggesting this song for you since the channel started! 😂 There are several tracks off the newer album that’s worth listening to. Oh, and it’s power metal dude.
one of the guitar player of beast in black is Kasperi Heikkinen ! i know him from u.d.o dirkshnaider and he is one of the great guitar players ever . the singer is Yannis Papadopoulos also truly one amazing voice. love this band 😍
Saw Beast in Black a few years ago as a preband for...can't even remember the main act. Anyway as they played blind and frozen they got me. A Song thats still on many of my playlists.
This band is so fucking insane. Like I didn't know that I needed a marriage of metal and 80s synth in my life, and not only did we get that, but a LEAD THAT CAN SING UNHUMANLY HIGH?!?! IS THIS BAND EVEN FUCKING REAL?!?!
Trivia moment. Anton Kabanen (the guitarist and writer brain behind BiB) was one of the founders of Battle Beast, and when they had their musical disagreements (or whatever happened) he wandered off and basically started Beast in Black, which I guess is where he really wanted to take Battle Beast.

For C you should react to Coldrain!! They’re a Japanese band but all of their songs are in English! Here are a few of my favorites: - Gone - Mayday - Coexist - Feed the Fire (Live)
@@francesconotarianni3587 Nice! I haven’t seen it so I didn’t know that. Feed the Fire was also the opening of a (bad) anime called Kings Game. The song was the best thing about the entire show. lol
First time I heard this I thought to myself "she sounds pretty!" The second time I watched the video and thought "I missed something critical." ... I can't get enough of it!
first time i heard of them was when they opened for a nightwish concert. we were at least as dumbfounded as you because we could see the dude actually singing this live. another great song from them is the self titled "beast in black". give it a try when youre done with the ABCs
His voice is amazing before this song I listened some os his covers from other bands ... let’s just say I was blown away. Btw if I am not mistaken he is from Greek origin.
Same, I've never heard of a metal band that sounds like a female singer, but is a man before, just the other way around. But I like it, but it was so weird looking at xD
@@TheMetalChick I was thinking hard what to recommend and I decided I want to see the reaction mostly to the lyrics (it has a certain fun shock value for me) otherwise Venom of Venus or Sanctus Dominus would have been my choice.

Welcome to Power Metal, my friend.
Eh he should already know that genre..
Since last ABC he checked out R: Rhapsody of Fire (Emerald sword)
#justsaying 😏
This song gives major power metal chords and themes and progression. And also the amaranthe song he listened to also had that feel but I’m unfamiliar with the rest of these two bands work so idk if they’re both full power metal but this is pretty cool.
I had tickets to see Beast in Black open for Hammerfall, and then the pandemic happened 🥲. Maybe some day!
I had tickets for that AND was supposed to see them at ProgPower in Atlanta this past September. :(
Same here, super bummed to miss them twice.
every reaction video to this song, almost without fail:
*synth starts* "okay..."

It’s the epitome of musical whiplash.

@@paultgreen been listening to Beast in Black for like three weeks before I realized that the lead singer is a dude xD
His name is Yannis Papadopoulos. You can check his cover of Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. You'll be amazed.
or is it laurel

@@Mynameischef ha, I see what you did there
I believe band found him from TH-cam when seeking for a singer.
Do that for letter Y

He's right, you need to do more European bands. :)
this band is amazing and funny enough i was gonna suggest his cover of ghost love score as well he does a fantastic job
Yannis' cover of Ghost Love Score is so incredible! Definitely a must-hear
I like is cover of ghost love score more then the original of Nightwish 😁
100%
This band is so underrated!
No one rates this band poorly
I agree
I think "underheard" might be a more accurate term.
"That man can sing like a damn pyterodactyl wizard..."
🤣🤣🤣
I lost my shit!... 🤣🤣🤣
Same here, almost fell of the damn chair!! my god it made me laugh
it's like if you asked a farmer from Oklahoma to describe Beast in Black
@@jackisback4873 LMAO
47 year old mother and metal head here. I about cried when my son introduced them to me. My son has good taste in music. I binge their albums.
My 61 year old mother who raised me on metal heard this band and said, "Thank god good metal is back!"
Children of Bodom "If you want Peace... Prepare for War"
This song is damn fire!
HELL YEAH
He's done Children of Bodom before and I think he's mainly looking for new bands he's not heard before in this series
"Sic vis pacem, para bellum" -Latin- If you want peace, prepare for war. Just another language.
@@AHVENAN He had done Amaranthe before so I don't think he's looking for new bands especially.

Finnish Anime metal.

@@lubyricabt9639 th-cam.com/video/rKpvEaIG2MA/w-d-xo.html Here you go. Fresh on their channel by the lead singer.
Symphonic power metal, perhaps
@@MinhNguyen-ff6xf it's not symphonic
OMG it's happening! Everybody stay calm!

One of the best bands live. Such energy... such momentum... such power - without being harsh or violent.
I came here from their Facebook page, because they shared your reaction!
C: Children of Bodom
D: Dark Sarah - Dance with the Dragon
ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET YOU ON THIS BAND FOR MONTHS!!
you have this 2 song with beast in black you should react to:
From hell with love
sweet true lies
Born again is also good
And berserker. (You know, beast in black - beast in black) ,
@@drakekalluna8150 you really have wonderful musical tastes man🤟🤟🤟🤟
The Solo is fucking insane. My God!
Yannis did a cover of Ghost Love Score, you should give that a watch.
Would be a good one for Y.
YES PLEASE.
Yep I suggested that too
Yes please reaction this!
I love that there are always 4 "jolts" that happen at the beginning: the synths, the guitars, the scream, and the voice 😂
“D” - Dark Tranquillity. The song: Insanity's Crescendo
If it's not Dark Tranquillity, I have lost all hope.
Dark Tranquillity but I think Mundane and the Magic
@@mikehilton4072 Yes, Mundane and the Magic for sure!
My eyebrows shot up and my jaw dropped. I paused to go to Metal Archives to find out more. Suddenly it all made sense: They're from Finland.
I need suggestions for C!!!!
Coal chamber sway
Crystal Lake would be obvious, too bad you've seen some stuff already. Maybe anything by Captives?
COAL CHAMBER - Sway
Chaoseum - into my split
For C in your ABC of Metal: CROSSFAITH
- The Evolution
- Perfect Nightmare
- Monolith
This type of metal is called Power Metal. Its defined by the soaring vocals, the light, spiralling guitar solos, and the subject matter tends to be about a) Brotherhood/ Comradery, 2) Overcoming Adversity, iii) Literally slaying dragons, or d) True Love.
It’s so much fun. This is a great bad to see live too.
i saw Beast in Black live together with Nightwish two years ago - cant get any better :)
Me too that was a great concert 😍
That sounds sweet i saw nightwish with sonata arctica and delain that was also amazing
Did they have him guest appear on Ghost Love Score?
@@prophetiktendencies sadly they did not...
Yeah you can get better.
C should be Cattle Decapitation - Bring Back The Plague. They released it at the end of 2019 and weirdly covid happened soon after
Cattle Decapitation main cause for Covid confirmed.
Cattle Decapitation is the most influential metal band in the recent years for me. They are insanely talented guys and they are continuously evolving album by album.
For C in your ABC of Metal: CROSSFAITH
- The Evolution
- Perfect Nightmare
- Monolith
Monolith 🤘🏻
YES! I WROTE THAT BAND IN THE LIVE CHAT. YES PLEASE!! that list is good but i also will say react to "catastrophe", my favourite song from them
@Morbid Angel is better than Death They're considered a metalcore band, but ok, isn't metal
Hell yeah!
Catastrophe.
I found Beast in Black 2 years ago, and I have never gone back! 😝 They are awesome!!
C - Children of Bodom please! Reminds me of the middle school when this band was my escape from all the shit.
Yes, children of bodom! Kissing the Shadows just to blow his mind about what a guitar solo can sound like haha.
First time hearing this too, and my God that dude's vocal range is absolutely freakin' insane!
Hell yes, I love Beast in Black
He straight up smacked himself, true metal head at heart.
Bruh! Homie from this sing covered Nightwish's "Ghost Love Score!" You gotta check him out!!!
So beast in black is a wonderful band live... They always smile and you can just see how much fun they have playing their music
When I first heard this, I though it was a duet. I was like 'damn, this girl sounds hot. I wonder what she looks like. '
Then I opened the video.
And then you were like "oh, this guy is hot". Just kidding friend.
@@haagenneldeberg6787 nah, you're not wrong. I'm a straight guy, but Yannis is an attractive dude
Yep lol
I heard it several times on Spotify and thought the same thing. Then I watched the video and it's just like he said, it's like reverse Tatianna.
I first heard this song in a "station based on sabaton" on my Amazon Alexa and now I can't stop coming back to the song and even the band
I've never ever heard a voice like that, I literally got chills listening to this song how is he able to do that. This is now my new favorite song
I would recommend Born Again or Sweet True lies ( which is like a Eurodance/Metal mix)
I did recommend this earlier. 😅 Happy to see that finally you checked this because Beast In Black is great band and Yannis Papadopoulos is definitely one of best vocalist ever! I recommend also to check his vocal cover-songs on his own TH-cam-page, his voice is incredible! 🤘🏻 And other my favorite songs, which I recommend to check, are Beast In Black, Cry Out of A Hero, End of the World.. this band not have any bad song. 😎🤘🏻
[C] - CARACH ANGREN - WHEN CROWS TICK ON WINDOWS (2016) or BLOOD QUEEN (2017)
Both are equally amazing! 🎶
Dutch Symphonic Black Metal at its finest! 🖤
Love this band. I'm stoked this video was posted on my bday. Nothing, but metal!
E for: Edguy: Rock of cashel or superheroes or Tears of a Mandrake. Any song wil do
T for: Tobias Sammet's Avantasia: The Scarecrow or the Raven Child.
Ahh, i see you're a man of culture as well
@Torhan Bartel
That was what I wanted to write😂
Yes! Your reaction was how I reacted when I first heard this. I then went and downloaded all their albums.
For C... Carcass - Heartwork
Fuck yeah.
The best pantene commercial ever
This band rules so fucking hard. Total homage to 80's hair metal arena rock shit. I love them.
Ahh yess my favorite song "Bind and Frozen" :D
Wow, that's a hidden gem! The lead vocalist is Greek!!!
Coheed & Cambria-The Dark Sentencer, Gravemakers & Gunslingers, The Gutter, Gravity’s Union
Dark Sentencer is so good!
Alex my man, you aren’t the only one who gotten confused at who was the singer at the beginning 😂
Cracked up, man..."that dude sings like a damn pterodactyl wizard.." hahahahahahahaha

I see Beast in Black I click like. Plus I'VE BEEN SUGGESTING THIS SONG FOREVER
"Why is this the first time i'm hearing this?" i feel like we are gonna hear that alot on this ABC trip.. ;)
I was not prepared for that O-Zone flashback🤣🤣

Coldrain - Mayday et Ryo from Crystal Lake
Crown the empire - Machines or Initiation
GIVE THIS GUY A LIKE FOR COLDRAIN!!!
Love CoB but he's done one song by them already and I think the purpose of this series is to discover new bands
I have been waiting SO long for you to react to these guys! Every song of theirs is AMAZING!!!!!
"Currents - A Flag to wave" for C
Saw Beast in Black a few years ago as a preband for...can't even remember the main act. Anyway as they played blind and frozen they got me. A Song thats still on many of my playlists.
C for: Cult To Follow - Leave It All Behind
This band is so fucking insane. Like I didn't know that I needed a marriage of metal and 80s synth in my life, and not only did we get that, but a LEAD THAT CAN SING UNHUMANLY HIGH?!?! IS THIS BAND EVEN FUCKING REAL?!?!
Civil war- "Bay of Pigs" or "Rome is falling" it will be great. Believe me 😄
Def rome is falling. Way better than bay of pigs lol
I like both of them but I will rule the universe is my favorite
Bay of pigs is legendary
Trivia moment. Anton Kabanen (the guitarist and writer brain behind BiB) was one of the founders of Battle Beast, and when they had their musical disagreements (or whatever happened) he wandered off and basically started Beast in Black, which I guess is where he really wanted to take Battle Beast. The Berserk obsession is still there, for sure.
Essentially, I treat them as two divergent timelines of the same band.
"C" for Candlemass
Yes!!!
For C you should react to Coldrain!! They’re a Japanese band but all of their songs are in English! Here are a few of my favorites:
- Gone
- Mayday
- Coexist
- Feed the Fire (Live)
Mayday has also been the opening for the anime Fire brigade of flames!
@@francesconotarianni3587 Nice! I haven’t seen it so I didn’t know that. Feed the Fire was also the opening of a (bad) anime called Kings Game. The song was the best thing about the entire show. lol

The second time I watched the video and thought "I missed something critical."
...
I can't get enough of it!
I: In Flames - Disconnected, come clarity
IN FLAMES!!!
I'd defifinitely second come clarity!
@Morbid Angel is better than Death how in the hell does in flames have anything to do with Iron Maiden’s music?
I would prefer come clarity too
C is for Clutch. 'Electric worry' burning beard, earth rocker, cypress grove or brazenhead. These guys are one of my all time favorites
D: Dark Tranquility
That legit reaction of yours makes me smile everytime. And the Song is epic.
Chimaira-"Down Again" you haven't checked out chimaira yet and you'll love it!!!!!!!!
Power Metal, a solid reminder there is no note too high that can't also be metal af.
"C" Carach Angren - the funerary dirge of a violinist
It's trippy hearing that voice come out of that guy. My brain refuses to make the connection.
first time i heard of them was when they opened for a nightwish concert. we were at least as dumbfounded as you because we could see the dude actually singing this live. another great song from them is the self titled "beast in black". give it a try when youre done with the ABCs
This song is like the Finnish despacito. It plays in the radio more than 10x per day

Beast in black!!!
His voice is amazing before this song I listened some os his covers from other bands ... let’s just say I was blown away. Btw if I am not mistaken he is from Greek origin.
Yannis is indeed Greek, and the band is Finnish. :)
It's called Power Metal. Fast Tempo and epic keyboard parts! One of the earliest Power Metal bands was Pretty Maids with the song "Future World"!
First time hearing the vocalist was one of the my most WTF moments, hands down..

"The spell" video is crazy!
Just saw these guys tonight live in Joliet, IL and all I can say is wow!
Chimaira-"Down Again" for C!!
Getting my 80s vibe with this band ✌️Die by the Blade is another great song 🙂
I just know D must be for Dream Theater, maybe Metropolis or The Count of Tuscany
C-ColdRain-Side effects. You'll love the message of the song as well as being blown away by the band!
2:52 That is Yanniy Papadopoulos Man XD We all reacted like this because of his very special voice which can to EVERYTHING

Psychstick and Starkill. You will NOT be disappointed!!
D = Destruction - Bestial Invasion live in Wacken 2007 with all their old band members since 1984 playing togethet on stage (3 drummers).
