Finnish heavy metal sextet BATTLE BEAST unleash their studio album »No More Hollywood Endings«today through Nuclear Blast Records. To mark the occasion, the group has unveiled a brand new music video for the track 'Endless Summer', which was once again directed by Markus Nieminen and produced byOy Routafilmi AB.
Keyboardist Janne Björkroth states, "'Endless Summer' brings a little bit of sunshine to the album. It's a light-hearted summer song which takes us on a nostalgic trip, back to a carefree summer some years ago. We recommend for this song to be used when driving on a sunny day. Put the radio on, roll the window down and let the wind blow through your hair."
