Lyrics: King For A Day
Welcome to the nightmare
where villains wear the crowns
Fools rule a broken world
and fear grows all around
There's a bad king
a dreadful puppet on a string
He pretends to be a champion
of the common man
Wants more division
in his lost and riven land
He plays with real lives
in the darkest game of life
His greedy eyes
look insane, frozen smile like he's in pain
He doesn't count
the human cost but only money made or lost
King for a day
he kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
cannot save you anymore
King for a day
He knows how to justify
and how to feed the myths
how to glorify
the lies and hide the truth
He talks a lot but
his mouth is full of empty words
He has the right friends
making shady inside deals
Before the story ends
we will be out of tears
Fools give the answers
wise men don't even try
The time has come
to dethrone him but there's a new clone stepping in
just more scum
another greedy, rotten puppet on a string
King for a day
he kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
cannot save you anymore
King for a day
"I own the seas
I have the Earth on its knees
Give me another day
and I'll take your future away
Just vote for me again"
King for a day
he kills the truth and looks away
King for a day
lives like the world would end today
King for a day
What do you hide, why do you lie?
Who made the rules for this game?
Who is paying your champagne?
All the mercy in the world
cannot save you anymore
King for a day - Hudba

I have 3 songs in mind from BB that are very Power Metal with good bombastic melodies and rhythm that makes you bow your head!
Battle Beast-Straight To The Heart
Battle Beast - Let it roar
Battle Beast - I Want The World... And Everything In It
Battle Beast is one of my favorites. Great live band.
Right, listening Battle Beast is very high voltage, but seeing them alive, Noora is just out of control, amazing attitude.
So amazing live! They opened for Kamelot and I heard that Thomas said they like having them open for them because they’re so hard to follow.
When Battle Beast play here in Sweden in a town called Linköping were I live, then I saw them live, very energy and great performance.
This makes me anxious for you to check out songs like "Out Of Control" (Also, Sabaton covered this song, so you may wanna check that out, too - double header?), "Straight To The Heart", "Let It Roar", "Bastard Son Of Odin" etc.
My personal favorite is "Straight To The Heart" and comes with some super high vocal parts and almost Sabaton sounding keyboards.
But, just to let you know, the band has a history of being very experimental on their albums. They generally do have an overarching consistant sound of sort of 80's Heavy Metal and power metal in all of their forms, but they also have songs that can be borderline 80's pop, like "Touch In The Night" and "Dancing With The Beast", or even more gothic symphonic metal like "Lost In Wars" (which features Amorphis' lead singer, Tomi Joutsen doing guest vocals). They are a very diverse, but consistantly good band, one of my favorites. There is something there for everyone.
I couldn't agree more!
Very good suggestions. I would go with let it roar next. There are so many good ones to choose from. Haven't heard bad song by them yet.
Rentta for sure. Definitely a good choice. :)
Michael D Mac why would I call you a heretic? Music is subjective. I prefer the original, even though Sabaton is my favorite band. But I also heard the original first, so that might have had something to do with it as well. ;)
In the end, they're both good, so I can't blame anyone for liking one more than the other.
"Wild Child" - W.A.S.P. cover. worth a listen :)
this song introduced me to Battle Beast, soon as she hit the second line, I was hooked.
Great pick guys! After hearing your review on Black Ninja I went to listen to all of their videos a few days ago. I really dig the updated 80's throwback sound from these guys. I might have to pick up thier CD.
you gotta check out Touch in The Night by them.
Check out their song IRON HAND with their old singer
link: czcams.com/video/q2HAi9vkSno/video.html
Nitte have great voice too. Wonder when Nitte left a band i wonder whom even can replace her.. Now her sings band called Burning Point
That song got me linking battle beast when i first heard it
"Iron Hand" official live video: czcams.com/video/q2HAi9vkSno/video.html I think that's their only official live video.
-Let it Roar
czcams.com/video/0LSHF73w_eo/video.html
-Familiar Hell
czcams.com/video/P3k7r_U8b40/video.html
-Touch in the Night (If you say King for a Day sounds like Glam Metal mixed with Abba, which i agree, then with this song, if you close your eyes and listen to it, you will definitely believe what you're listening is actually Abba and not Battle Beast)
czcams.com/video/enSmON-pcpA/video.html
-Bringer Of Pain (Really fast song and truly metal)
czcams.com/video/pBpv_pcUEIQ/video.html
The song is so different to Black Ninja due to them kicking out their main songwriter (Anton Kabanen, the founder of Beast in Black), and replacing him with Janne Björkroth, brother of the keyboardist and the guitarist from Brymir (A kickass Finnish folk metal band, you should check them out).
I'd recommend Beyond the Burning Skies from Janne's era, and Into the Heart of Danger from Anton's era.
In this song queen Noora , goes very wild... So powerful voice. So in love with her flexible voice. The drummer of the band is a hero...keeps pace and rythm from start to finnish ... and it is so difficult... great job man.
I am so proud to say my cousin is friends with him and he is one of the songwriters in the band called Force Majeure .
Next song definitely IRON HAND. And especially the Official live version czcams.com/video/q2HAi9vkSno/video.html .. It has great quality and production. Album version sounds like a demo compared to this live version.
glad you did this band, this is my favorite song of theirs.
Did anyone notice Mr Lordi as King! This was awesome video.
i love your videos😊
I discovered them with Black Ninja, which is still one of my favourite. I feel like King for a Day is one of the better songs on their new album. I love Beast in Black's Blind and Frozen more than just about any Battle Beast songs. Just establishing some commonality, here.
Now for some recommendations... Out of Control should be a must!!! If you like songs with an 80's feel, check out Out in the Streets, In the Heart of Danger and Touch in the Night. And for something different, if you like power ballads, check out Savage and Saint. Have fun guys!!
Their song "Bringer Of Pain" is like old school speedmetal, and "touch in the night" again is kind of like metal madonna :D
They have many great inspirations from decades back.
To be honest,watching your sabaton reactions i knew it would come to this(battle beast).Really enjoying watching you two lads!Please do a reaction on Nightfall by Blind Guardian!cheers
Battle Beast - i want the world...and everything in it. Is a good choise.
Bringer of pain.
Beyond the burning skies.
My first 'contact' with battle beast was the song unholy saviour. If you like Nooras voice, then you definitely should give that song a shot and listen how she builds up the power in the vocals!
To me BB's best album was the 1st one, Steel, with Nitte. Check out "Iron Hand" live in Paris. Insane riff with the quite a personal voice of Nitte. (And btw., they were opening for Nightwish when the video was shot.) "Band of the Hawk" is another great one from that record as well.
yoo thanks guys. Can you try some Kamelot next?
:)
You should check out let it roar its more crazy than black ninja
I don´t know for you guys, but for me this band gives a kind of 80's touch to the sound. Fantastic!!! Great!!!
react bb - let it roar or out of control
Great reaction for a really great song. Love Battle Beast too. Please remember my recommendation for Cypecore. They have released their new album yet. Would be a good time for a reaction to for example „The Alliance“. Keep on guys. Love your channel 👍🤘
Enter to the Metal World was their first big hit.
If you want to go for another song completely different from what you listened to so far, I'd recommend "Lost in Wars" from their Bringer of Pain album. A collaboration with Amorphis' Tomi Joutsen with a nice industrial (nearly Rammstein) vibe. My favorite from that album, though, probably is Beyond the Burning Skies, because I simply love Noora's voice on that song.
Great song
You guys gotta do Knocked Loose - Deadringer and Thy Art is Murder - Puppet Master
I was born in 98 and I immediately heard some kind of 80s pop rock sonorities to it. Can't really describe it more but I definitely felt like this song wasn't written from a contemporary band. Loved it though!
Who is your favorite band? Mines either Ghost or Avatar
Wintersun
Is that your sons favorite too?
His is Sabaton by far
Their cover of Wild Child (Wasp) is absolutely KILLER!!! But anything Battle Beast does is perfection to me
And as mentioned by others, Let it Roar or Straight to the Heart are also great, one that hasn't gotten much mention would be Touch in the Night ... but I think you'd get a kick out of Wild Child the most.
Battle Beast is open to the more pop aspect of metal, and they explored more of this on their most recent album. I'm don't mind the variation in their songs, but the heavier ones tend to be my favorites. One of my faves is "Unholy Savior."
I know I’m super late! But if you’re a fan of Abba then check out their song Touch in the Night. It’s literally a itala disco song with some metal guitars lol
You should react to the first Finnish rock group ever, without that one, you wouldn't ever hear these new metal songs. So, react to Hanoi Rocks!
I love this band and when I first heard this song, the pre chorus reminded me of Thriller by Michael Jackson hahaha
So we got a 80's heavy metal freak and some young blood... Here's a challenge for both :)
Battle Beast - Wild Child ... W.A.S.P. cover maybe better than the original
First, sorry for my bad English. I like the comparsion to Abba and glamrock, especially the arrangements and the use of Keyboards. I personally would put them a bit later, so in the time of Bon Jovi and Europe and Gary Moore (Out in the Fields and so) since the guitar techniques are way more 'advanced' as Twistet Sisters and these guys. But I very much like your analyze!!
I’d go the same way with Autry! King for a Day and Black Ninja are still pretty tame songs by them. They have much more powerful songs. Let It Roar, Bastard Sons of Odin, Kingdom, Lionheart, Out of Control, Straight to the Heart.
Hi guys! In my opinion the best song of BB is Enter the metal world!!!
Make a reaction to Eternal tears of sorrow. Any song will do. They are all good =)
I think they've lost their power since the main composer Anton left the band and made Beast In Black. By the way try to check some Greek bands like Firewind or Wardrum (singing Yiannis of Beast In Black).
Yeees ! Wait for that day. Greek rock scene is so epic. Μπράβο Γιάννη... υπέροχη πρόταση. Ελλάδα ρεε!
hi guys!! you should do somenthing about Kamelot in the concert "one cold winter's night" could be the songs "march of mephisto or Elizabeth" hugs from México 😉
Kamelot is coming in the next couple of weeks!!!
+A&P-REACTS thank you.. I'll be waiting so anxious... greetings have a good day!! ✌
Listen to Straight to the Heart by Battle Beast, I think that is the best by the band
Symphony X - Set the world on fire
- Nevermore
- Sea of lies
You have to try Into the Heart of Danger by this band. Brilliant song and it has more heavier sound
Well as you both like Sabaton, you should check Sabaton guitarist and back-vocalist (Tommy) band Reinxeed.
Reinxeed is Power-metal band and Tommy is main singer and guitarist in this band.
Reinxeed - MONEY MONEY MONEY (ABBA cover) as you were talking about ABBA.
ReinXeed - Temple Of The Crystal Skulls
Reminds me to Grimm Reaper's singer, Steve Grimmet 👌
Hey guys. What about "Nightwish Sunday"?
Our plan is Nightwish every 2 weeks on Sunday, the others will have other bands from Finland
Great news, can't wait
Gotta listen to their one song "golden age" with " kingdom" in that order
Please, react to "Ram The World" from the australian band "Barbarion". Greetings!
From Battle Beast: Unholy Savior, Lionheart, Kingdom, Iron Hand, Let It Roar, Out Of Control.
And do react more also to Beast In Black, Anton Kabanen with his new band after he got kicked out of BB.
They make the same style that Battle Beast used to do (which I prefer more) and the new album is kickass, for example:
Born Again: czcams.com/video/TZcWVsDSqpE/video.html
Blood Of A Lion: czcams.com/video/2DCpMJjKAPQ/video.html
Eternal Fire: czcams.com/video/qIIcP8PywpQ/video.html
And as all of these are high energy songs, for you to relax after those, a great ballad: Ghost In The Rain - czcams.com/video/ufWmBOahhrE/video.html
And, as so many times before, I plead you to react to Moonsorrow! It might be something new and a bit differerent, but I bet you will like the melodies in their songs.
Battle Abba. Why is it that nowadays most of the "heavy metal" bands sound like Eurovision-contestants?
Hey guys, try VOLBEAT - The Devil's Bleeding Crown ? :D
Cypecore - „Dissatisfactory“ or „The Alliance“
You should give "Enter The Metal World" by Battle Beast a listen. It's super cheesy, but it's still one of my favourite songs, I'm also very fond of their last frontwoman, Nitte Valo :)
Someone else requested this already, but I second that: Iron Hand czcams.com/video/q2HAi9vkSno/video.html from the same album. Also pretty fantastic, lots heavier riffs!
My favourite Battle Beast song is Let it Roar, would be cool to hear what you guys have to say about that one.
Looks like that song is the winner for a future BB song
You chose too early. Also there's no video for that song.
Noora Louhimo is the woman Rob Halford wishes he was 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey guys! Check out Ms. Nitte Valo of Burning Point. She's the former badass singer of Battle Beast. czcams.com/video/NQ55eycuCos/video.html
Parkway Drive - Vice Grip. You'll love it. You guys should definatly check out Ghost aswell. Great band
We are familiar with both bands, that is why you haven't seen much from either here. We have seen Ghost live twice last year.
#HEYGUYS Please, please, please check out "Cypecore - The Alliance". They are a Industrial/ Melodic Death/ Thrash Band from Mannheim, Southern Germany (which is close to where I'm from). I'm 100% certain that you would enjoy this very, very much :)
We are planning on doing a German double header in a couple of weeks with them and Deserted Fear...so they are on our schedule!!!
Perfect :)
React Teräsbetoni - Taivas lyö tulta it´s very good finnish heavy metal band.
I sign the message of the song. New leaders come from the political establishment even if they don't come from the same party. The oligarchs, secret societies, international organizations behind them policians are the same, and they do the same shit again and again, and if you think their first interest is to serve the people, their voters, you're wrong.
Noora Louhimo is one of the top female voices in metal, beautiful clean voice and raspy rock voice (hard to believe it's the same woman), and her wild attitude carries through. But you haven't got half of it until you see her live.
React to their song Let it Roar, that song is much more badass than black ninja. Her voice is incredible
I think let it roar would be good idea to listen next. It's very different to this one.
Try "Enter the Metal World" from their first album (with their first singer) czcams.com/video/nxL99TbCD4M/video.html
Sylosis empyreal or to build a tomb live studio session!
do some more Maximum The Hormone!
If you want some new Finnish power metal, check out Arion! They are a bunch of 20-year-olds and about to release their second album this year. This is one of the singles from the upcoming album: czcams.com/video/7kq0AdjPUUU/video.html
iron savior gunsmoke and heavy metal never dies
Hello I wanted to recommend a video about the public of Argentina in the recitals, it is the best thing that there is, the video is called argentina best crowd ever. regards!
czcams.com/video/4Ln-mqqIQUM/video.html
Check out SCARS OF SOLITUDE, a new metal band from Finland! This song for example:
czcams.com/video/CBBgQHwBFAU/video.html
Check out Touch in the night if you happen to like Battle Beast. Im not the biggest fan of them, but that song is rather good. And I am also a huge fan of old rock bands like Europe, Scorpions, Dio, Whitesnake, Twisted Sister, Van Halen, Journey, The Police, Billy Idol and so on :) Here is the Touch in the night:
czcams.com/video/enSmON-pcpA/video.html
Eye of the enemy - The shift
teach the boy some ABBA hahaha cheers :D
I think I will have to....lol
No knowledge of ABBA? Well then you should really listen to some. Naturally the metal versions from Swedish Hitz Goes Metal :)
Please listen to man of the year by Dance Gavin Dance, you will not regret your life choices doing so.😊
Malevolence- self supremecy
Definitely check out this live version of Straight to the Heart by Battle Beast czcams.com/video/zByvh2MH25g/video.html.
Listen the most epic song GRAVE DIGGER Rebellion feat. Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) and Van Canto
React SUSPERIA - The Lyricist
PAGAN'S MIND - GOD'S EQUATION!
Battle Beast-Iron Hand
Speaking of King for a Day. Faith No More - King for a Day
Funny enough I plan on doing that song on a TBT soon.
Nice!
next - IRON HAND
could you react to Iron Maiden, when the wild wind blows.
Please, react to 'Winter' (Oceans of Slumber)
We have it is posted on our FB page because due to copyright restrictions YT removed it.
W A C K
I really want to like this band more but I really feel like they lost something when Anton was kicked out. It feels like all the pieces are still there but they aren't just as sharp as they used to be. There is less feeling of danger in the riffs and the build ups don't flow as nicely.
React to Varg - Das Ende Aller Lügen
Check out re-animator by rigor mortis
Let the kid speak
My favourite Battle beast song is probably Kingdom. I personally didn't like the newest album that much.
You can't put Europe in with Glam Metal.. They're def a NWOBHM band.
The what band?
Ghost Division New Wave of British Heavy Metal
Rob Jarrett Ah
They are from Sweden
Trump The Musical
