Beastmilk is a Finnish post-punk band formed in 2010 in Helsinki, known for their darkly melodic compositions and apocalyptic themes. The band was originally founded by vocalist Kvohst, also known for his work with other metal and post-punk acts, along with guitarist Goatspeed, bassist Paile, and drummer Arino. Combining elements of gothic rock, punk, and a chilling atmosphere reminiscent of Cold War era anxieties, Beastmilk created a unique sound that garnered them a cult following in the underground music scene.

Their most significant work, "Climax," released in 2013, received widespread acclaim for its infectious hooks and thought-provoking lyrics, drawing comparisons to bands like Joy Division and Bauhaus. The album perfectly encapsulated the band’s ethos – doomsday predictions served upon a soundscape of addictive melodies. Preceding this, the EP "Use Your Deluge" in 2012 and the 7" single "White Stains on Black Wax" in 2010 set the tone for the band's oeuvre with a mix of frenetic energy and moody introspection, ensuring their position as one of the notable acts within the resurgence of post-punk music. Despite their meteoric rise within their niche, Beastmilk underwent transformations, including a change in their lineup and eventually evolving into the band Grave Pleasures in 2015, marking the end of the Beastmilk era but not the end of their influence on the post-punk genre.
