Their third album \u2018Kick Down The  Barricades\u2019 sounds as old fashioned as any hair metal fan would expect  it to be. Just the way they did on predecessors \u2018Adult Oriented Candy\u2019  (2011) and \u2018California Suntan\u2019 (2012) Beautiful Beast have refused to  add any modern elements to their songs and thereby manifest their  reputation of being Hair Metal traditionalists \u2013 or retards as other  people may have it.<span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387173594647_27729\" class=\"yiv8206512385MsoNormal\"><span id=\"yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387173594647_27728\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">\u2018Kick Down The Barricades\u2019 sounds rawer and edgier than  the band\u2019s previous records and left room for spontaneity and  improvisation even in an all so sterile studio environment. The album  was recorded at Julian Angel\u2019s studio The Vegas Room and mastered by  Rolf Munkes (Tony Martin Band, Empire, Razorback) at Empire Studios,  Germany. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387173594647_27799\" class=\"yiv8206512385MsoNormal\"><span id=\"yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387173594647_27798\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Two months prior to the official album release Beautiful  Beast have published the music video for the album\u2019s opening track \u2018Bad  Boys Never Dance\u2019 for which they could win legendary glam journalist  Kelv Hellrazer to starr as the VJ. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387173594647_27797\" class=\"yiv8206512385MsoNormal\"><span id=\"yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387173594647_27796\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">The sound, the style, the same old stories \u2013 you have  heard it all before and you will hear it again. Julian Angel and  Beautiful Beast don\u2019t reinvent the wheel. They simply keep it turning  when others have run out of gasoline. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387173594647_27785\" class=\"yiv8206512385MsoNormal\"><span id=\"yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1387173594647_27784\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Beautiful Beast mastermind Julian Angel is a German rock  musician with, by now, five albums to his record as well as a German  Rock Award nomination for \u2018Best Guitarist\u2019 in 2000.
