BATTLE BEAST will bring their “Steelbound & Staubound Tour” to Germany in December 2026, with new lead vocalist Marina La Torraca fronting the Finnish heavy and power metal band across eight dates. The run begins at Storm Out Festival in Lichtenfels on 4 December and includes four club shows with Italian symphonic-power metal band Moonlight Haze as special guest.
Eight German dates
Battle Beast will open the tour at Storm Out Festival in Lichtenfels on 4 December, followed by Pott Out Festival in Bochum on 5 December. The band will then play Die Pumpe in Kiel on 6 December, KFZ in Marburg on 8 December and Colos-Saal in Aschaffenburg on 9 December.
The remaining dates are Rock Out Festival in Augsburg on 11 December, Knock Out Festival in Karlsruhe on 12 December and Club Vaudeville in Lindau on 13 December. Moonlight Haze are scheduled to appear in Kiel, Marburg, Aschaffenburg and Lindau.
The concerts will focus on “Steelbound”, Battle Beast’s seventh studio album, which was released on 17 October 2025. Songs including “Last Goodbye”, “Angel Of Midnight” and “Steelbound” combine the band’s heavy metal and power metal foundation with synthesizers, prominent keyboards and an eighties hard-rock influence.
Marina La Torraca takes the stage
Marina La Torraca sings lead vocals for Battle Beast. The São Paulo musician was announced as Noora Louhimo’s replacement in December 2025, after Louhimo’s departure from the band. La Torraca is also known for Phantom Elite and Exit Eden, as well as Avantgard, Synnoveriem, Highlight Kenosis and her work with Frontiers All Stars.
La Torraca made her first appearances with Battle Beast in March 2026, when the new line-up played concerts in Japan and Australia. The German shows will give the band a chance to present the new vocalist to audiences alongside songs from “Steelbound” and older favourites.
The German dates follow Battle Beast’s previously announced appearance at Z! Live in Zamora, Spain. Our earlier coverage reported that the band will play across the festival’s three days, 17, 18 and 19 June, alongside Symphony X, Nestor and Gama Bomb.
From Helsinki to Germany
Battle Beast formed in Helsinki in 2008 and won the Wacken Metal Battle in 2010. The band released its debut album, “Steel”, in 2011, while Nitte Valo, the original lead vocalist, left in 2012 and was replaced by Louhimo. Louhimo sang with the band for more than a decade before announcing her departure in December 2025.
The current line-up also includes rhythm guitarist Juuso Soinio, drummer Pyry Vikki, bassist and backing vocalist Eero Sipilä, keytar player and backing vocalist Janne Björkroth, and lead guitarist and backing vocalist Joona Björkroth. The December concerts will present Battle Beast’s current line-up in Germany for the first time since La Torraca took over the lead vocal role.
