#OlexShow

Welcome to the #OlexShow Ep1. Today I am privileged to have 2 special guests: the front woman of the award winning, legendary Finnish heavy metal band - Battle Beast, vocalist and songwriter Noora Louhimo and co-founder of the Battle Beast band, guitar player, photographer and IT expert Juuso Soinio. 

We talk music, culture, art, business, psychology & well-being of music artists and future of music industry.

Battle Beast line-up:

 “100% heavy metal - 0% bullshit!” - BATTLE BEAST’s formula is simple, but very effective; and with their enormously catchy, riff-laden songs coupled with Noora Louhimo’s unique voice, these young Finns have become a flagship of modern heavy metal over the past few years.  With »No More Hollywood Endings«, the group cements their status as unstoppable force, showcasing their magic touch for writing endlessly catchy songs once again, without repeating themselves. This record includes everything the band needed to take the next step to conquer the big halls of the world. In the end, one thing’s for sure: Although BATTLE BEAST’s new record may not purely contain “100% heavy metal”, but definitely “0% bullshit”!
