After blowing the power metal ║ │ │║ community's collective minds with Berserker in ║ │ │║ 2017, what was initially considered a spin-off ║ │ │║ project has now achieved full status. The ║ │ │║ inevitable comparison to fellow Finns Battle ║ │ │║ Beast will have to be made but it is most ║ │ │║ certainly in Anton Kabanen's favour. Beast In ║ │ │║ Black's debut album completely blew Noora and ║ │ │║ co's Bringer Of Pain out of the water two years ║ │ │║ ago and, judging by the quality of "No More ║ │ │║ Hollywood Endings", they're about to do it ║ │ │║ again. Friendly rivalry? Hostile competition? ║ │ │║ Couldn't give a shit. BIB are officially better ║ │ │║ than BB - and From Hell With Love confirms it ║ │ │║ with hammering affirmation. Buckle up, fuckers - ║ │ │║ this is about to get Berserk. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ If you are at all familiar with Beast In Black, ║ │ │║ you are completely justified in expecting more ║ │ │║ of the usual: completely overblown, hard-rockin' ║ │ │║ melodic power metal with a heavy '80s pop ║ │ │║ influence, screaming vocals and cheesy-ass ║ │ │║ synths. This time, the pop vibe is embedded even ║ │ │║ deeper into the integral core of the music and, ║ │ │║ dare I say, is the best thing about this album. ║ │ │║ I can't stop myself from grinning at almost ║ │ │║ every bouncy electronic backbeat and blaring ║ │ │║ synth melody. This is metal for metalheads who ║ │ │║ are unafraid to smile and shove their tongue so ║ │ │║ far into their cheek they cause ulcers. Remember ║ │ │║ "Crazy, Mad, Insane" from the previous record? ║ │ │║ Yeah. That. But MORE. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Within seconds of opener "Cry Out For A Hero" I ║ │ │║ guarantee a massive skeletal smirk and the urge ║ │ │║ to air-guitar and air-keyboard the shit out of ║ │ │║ this entire record. I hope these guys pioneer a ║ │ │║ new wave of bands who will start to fuse '80s ║ │ │║ disco and synthpop with power metal because ║ │ │║ Beast In Black make it sound so natural - like ║ │ │║ it was just meant to be. All manner of keyboard ║ │ │║ effects are layered wonderfully above, and in ║ │ │║ the middle of, the super-tight metal underneath. ║ │ │║ Kabanen's orchestration and arrangement talents ║ │ │║ cannot be denied. The Wisdom guitarist inserts ║ │ │║ as many cheeky synth-tom fills and sampled ║ │ │║ handclaps as he can, ensuring From Hell With ║ │ │║ Love never drops its energy for one second. Not ║ │ │║ even in the unspeakably beautiful "Oceandeep"; ║ │ │║ this album's token ballad (and yes, it's even ║ │ │║ better than "Ghost In The Rain"!). ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Now, we all know power metal songwriting ║ │ │║ frequently revolves around the effectiveness of ║ │ │║ the chorus. Well, BIB have absolutely nailed the ║ │ │║ art of chorus-writing. Every refrain explodes ║ │ │║ out of the speakers with instantly memorable ║ │ │║ hooks and layered vocals which seem to bounce ║ │ │║ with sheer vibrancy. Just check out the ║ │ │║ phenomenally cheesy "Sweet True Lies" or the ║ │ │║ Sabaton-as-fuck "Heart Of Steel", look me in the ║ │ │║ eyes tell me you don't already know the lyrics ║ │ │║ and tune after only one listen. Don't lie, you ║ │ │║ do. And you wanna hear it again. I understand. ║ │ │║ However, my number one chorus on this LP has to ║ │ │║ be the stunning title-track. It's ║ │ │║ just...unspeakably glorious. These dangerously ║ │ │║ infectious choruses are aided by the immensely ║ │ │║ talented Yannis Papadopoulos whose vocal skills ║ │ │║ are stratospheric. He can melt your heart with ║ │ │║ sweetness or blow your skin off your stupid face ║ │ │║ with bone-melting screams; always 100% in tune ║ │ │║ and full of attitude. A god among men. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ FHWL is structured perfectly. Bookended by two ║ │ │║ fast-paced rockers, the album is chocked with ║ │ │║ jaunty power-disco anthems ("Unlimited Sin"), ║ │ │║ fist-pumping tributes to the Berserk manga ("Die ║ │ │║ By The Blade") and all-out power metal assaults ║ │ │║ ("Repentless"). All expertly positioned in such ║ │ │║ a way that no two tracks sound too similar when ║ │ │║ experienced in order. Even though every number ║ │ │║ is basically perfection, my personal favourite ║ │ │║ is the super-slick "True Believer" which is akin ║ │ │║ to a 1980s action movie training montage or an ║ │ │║ NES side-scrolling beat-em-up boss battle ║ │ │║ soundtrack. There's a flute solo; badass riffs ║ │ │║ ("No Surrender"); falsetto screams; insanely ║ │ │║ blazing fretwork; tambourines galore; a lyrical ║ │ │║ nod to Battle Beast's first album (no joke! It's ║ │ │║ in the chorus of "This Is War" - cheeky ║ │ │║ fuckers!) and choruses catchier than ║ │ │║ tuberculosis. If you need anything else in your ║ │ │║ life, you're asking too much from this world. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ To get a 100% score from me requires some ║ │ │║ special X factor, an unidentifiable 'something' ║ │ │║ that elevates the release and lets it transcend ║ │ │║ our puny human qualms. Beast In Black almost had ║ │ │║ it with Berserker but, here in 2019, they feel ║ │ │║ settled in their skin and ready to churn out the ║ │ │║ band's true vision. From Hell With Love only ║ │ │║ gets more appealing with every spin - and that's ║ │ │║ the measure of a truly 'classic' record. What ║ │ │║ the hell are you waiting for!?
