Nightwish.  Yeah, that's definitely not a Japanese band.  Finnish, actually.

And I can sense the head editor staring at me right now wondering why this post is here.  It's anime-related, I swear.  I'll get to it.

About a week ago, Beast in Black released their newest album, Dark Connection. This is the band's third album. It's a bit more cyberpunky as opposed to fantasy themes compared to their previous albums but still has its fair share of, you guessed it, Berserk songs.

I always love it when my hobbies collide. If you ask me what kind of music I listen to, I'll describe it as one of two things: metal, and Japanese. Well, this article has both. It's no secret that Beast in Black's founder Anton Kabanen is a big fan of the manga Berserk. You have something like a 20% to 30% chance of pointing to any one song on the band's three albums and it'll involve Berserk. Now, it might not be the most obvious thing to people at a glance, but if you look at the lyrics, it all clicks into place.
