The new lead singer Marina La Torraca made her debut with the Swedish band last night at their show in Tokyo, Japan (March 6th). Performing at the WWWX venue, the new line-up was captured pretty extensively by fans at the show.
La Torraca‘s addition was announced this past December after longtime vocalist Noora Louhimo left Battle Beast, with La Toracca saying that: “When I first saw an e-mail with both Battle Beast and my name in the subject line, I honestly thought it had to be a mistake. But once I opened it, I couldn’t have been happier. I’m incredibly honored to be part of this new chapter and deeply grateful for the trust and support from the band.
“Is it a little terrifying to follow in the wake of a vocal legend like Noora? You bet! Is it also very exciting? Absolutely. Battle Beast is one of the hardest-working and most genuinely talented bands out there, and I’m proud to be here to help them keep growing and spreading joy. Buckle up — this is going to be fun.”
