You probably don’t believe that the trance like can take hold in something as acute or passionate as Power Metal, that the rage of the Berserker can be found settling into the form of the beasts that roam the stage, adrenaline fuelled, the blood pumping faster as if struggling to contain the soul. You might not believe in the hypnotic but as Beast In Black unburdens itself like a hero beside the fire, the warmth making the stories flow as if champagne is poured from the stars, then the hypnotic and the trance is what you find yourself in, the cascade of the words of the Berserker’s tale becomes the reason you fall under its spell.
