Die finnischen Metaller BATTLE BEAST um Frontröhre Noora Louhimo veröffentlichen den ersten neuen Song vom kommenden Studioalbum. `Last Goodbye´ erscheint samt offiziellem Musikvideo. Titel und VÖ-Termin der neuen Platte blieben zunächst unbekannt. Herauskommen soll das Teil aber wohl noch vor Beginn der Tour mit Dominum und Majestica im Oktober.
Bassist Eero Sipilä kommentiert:
”The spark for Last Goodbye was lit in the least rock ’n roll place imaginable: a hospital. In 2020, I spent a few weeks there and met an older woman battling cancer – a fight she’d been waging on and off since 1985. It made me wonder: how much can a person take before they give up? But she never did. She kept showing up, kept pushing through the treatments, kept being around. Last Goodbye is a tribute to that human fighting spirit – the will to rise every time life knocks you down. As long as you’re breathing, you’re still in the game.”

LYRICS:
So you’d think I was down for the count
Like I’d settle for a curtain call
I’m digging in, show you what it’s about
How I get up every time I fall
Crucified a thousand times
Bring your worst and I’ll take on it all
Break my bones, burn my body to dust
But you’re never gonna kill my soul
Cause you left me bruised but unbroken
How your world is turning faster
So much higher you can go
Though outnumbered by the bastards
Hell, you’ll live to bury ’em all
In your eyes the open highway
‘neath your wings the open sky
Cause you’re all too tough and in no rush to die
And this ain’t the Last Goodbye
Through it all
Never down for defeat
It’s gonna take more than this hell to break me
Took the fall,
Now I’m back on my feet
So don’t be waiting for the bell to save me
With each blow I take I grow stronger
How your world is turning faster
So much higher you can go
Though outnumbered by the bastards
Hell, you’ll live to bury ’em all
