\u00a0The Finnish heavy metal powerhouse\u00a0BATTLE BEAST<\/strong>\u00a0has received platinum and gold records for their two most recent albums.\u00a0No More Hollywood Endings<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2019) has been awarded gold for sales of over 10 000 copies and\u00a0Bringer of Pain<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(2017) was honoured with platinum albums for album sales of over 20 000 copies in their native Finland.

The band comments:
\u201dWe are absolutely overwhelmed by the support from our fans – thank you all so much!\u00a0
This was such a wonderful surprise to start our tour with, and we can\u2019t wait to party with you all down the road. See you soon, friends!.\u201d<\/em>

Nuclear Blast<\/strong>\u00a0stated about the huge achievement:
\u201cFinland has always been a great country for metal and it was a pleasure to see that all last four\u00a0BATTLE BEAST<\/strong>\u00a0albums went number 1 in the Finnish charts. The Platinum Award for\u00a0Bringer Of Pain<\/strong>\u00a0and Gold for\u00a0No More Hollywood Endings<\/strong>\u00a0are not only a great achievement for the band but also for all the crazy Finnish metal heads standing so strong for their favourite bands. I\u2019m sure we can soon celebrate an award for the latest\u00a0Circus Of Doom<\/strong>\u00a0album. And we are looking forward to see\u00a0BATTLE BEAST<\/strong>\u00a0win a powerful but peaceful battle on stage during their European tour. Kippis!\u201d<\/em>
