As work continues on their fourth studio album, BEAST IN BLACK has officially welcomed Finnish guitarist Markus Venehsalo into the band’s ranks.
The group was deep into the recording sessions for the next release when the need arose for a second guitarist capable of handling guitar solos for the album. At that stage of production, the band was searching for a player who could contribute solos that would complement the album’s evolving sound while bringing something unique to the table.
“When I was 8 years old, my dad brought home a guitar he had bought from a work buddy. I plugged it into an amp, found the distortion channel, and said to my dad, ‘I’m going to be a rock ’n’ roll guitarist!’ Being now part of the Beast In Black lineup feels like an almost impossible dream come true for me, and I’m excited about what the future holds for us. Thank you for trusting me on guitar duties. I promise to do my absolute best!” says Markus Venehsalo.
