The Finnish heavy metal band Battle Beast delivered one of the biggest shocks of 2025 in the Finnish music scene by announcing that their frontwoman Noora Louhimo will be leaving the group after 13 years together.
In the video released by the band, Noora explained openly that she wants to focus more on her solo career in the future, which became the primary reason for her departure. Chaoszine sat down with Louhimo on Thursday, December 18th in Vaasa during her Christmas concert to discuss the reasons behind her decision to leave Battle Beast, as well as what fans can expect from her solo career going forward.

After disbanding with Noora the band announced Marina La Torraca as the band’s new front woman. The band stated:
“One story ends, another begins. We’re excited to start this new chapter and introduce you to the new voice of Battle Beast, Marina.”
Marina La Torraca is a Brazilian vocalist from São Paulo, best known as the powerhouse frontwoman of modern metal band Phantom Elite and as a member of the symphonic metal project Exit Eden. She began performing in her teens in local cover bands before moving into formal training, including studying musical theatre in New York.
Renowned for her versatile, commanding vocal range, Marina effortlessly transitions from dramatic, melodic passages to fierce, harsh screams. Alongside her career in metal, she has starred in professional musical theatre productions across German-speaking countries. Beyond the stage, she is also an accomplished graphic designer, vocal coach, producer, and songwriter.
Marina La Torraca comments:
“When I first saw an email 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.”
