Battle Beast – announce new album ‘Steelbound’ + drop new single ‘Here We Are’

Finnish heavy metal powerhouse BATTLE BEAST continues their unstoppable rise with the release of their brand-new single and music video ‘Here We Are‘, out today on all platforms. With this new single, the band officially announces their highly anticipated seventh studio album Steelbound, set to be released on October 17, 2025 via Nuclear Blast.

‘Here We Are‘ marks the third single taken from Steelbound, and it’s a bold, unapologetic anthem of resilience and unity. Armed with thunderous riffs, powerful vocals, and infectious hooks, the song captures the spirit of overcoming adversity and standing strong together.

Song writer Joona Björkroth comments: “‘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.”

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”

The track is paired with a stunning music video that brings its message to life in true BATTLE BEAST fashion: dramatic, powerful, and visually striking.

Steelbound will come in following formats:
CD Jewelcase, 20-page booklet
2 CD Digipak (limited edition)
1 LP Orange/Black/White Splatter & transparent blue 12inch in fold-out sleeve with poster
1 LP in Gatefold, transparent curacao blue

With Steelbound, BATTLE BEAST embarks on an exciting new chapter, blending classic heavy metal with ’80s-tinged hard rock, cinematic synths, and flashes of pop energy. From the defiant title track ‘Steelbound‘ to the emotional punch of ‘Last Goodbye‘, the album delivers 38 minutes of pure escapism, grit, and joy. It’s a battle cry for the misfits, a celebration for the strong-hearted, and a reminder to throw your worries aside and sing, dance, or headbang — however you choose to rise.

To celebrate the album’s release, BATTLE BEAST will hit the road for a major European tour, kicking off October 17 at Hamburg’s Inselpark Arena — their biggest German headline show to date. The tour will run through mid-December, featuring DOMINUM as special guests and Swedish power metal force MAJESTICA as openers.

HERE WE ARE — together, resilient, and unbroken.
