Finnish heavy and power metal band Battle Beast have officially announced the departure of vocalist Noora Louhimo after 13 years together. The announcement brings an end to one of the most defining eras in the band’s history, during which they released six studio albums, toured extensively, and established a powerful and recognizable sound.
According to the joint statement, the decision allows Noora to fully focus on her solo career and explore new creative directions that were difficult to pursue alongside Battle Beast’s demanding schedule. While the departure is described as emotional, both parties emphasize that it comes with mutual respect, gratitude and full support.
In a personal message, Noora Louhimo reflected on her journey with the band, stating that those 13 years were crucial to her growth as both an artist and a person. She described this moment as the beginning of a new era rather than an ending, expressing deep appreciation for the band and their fans, whom she addressed affectionately.
Battle Beast thanked Noora for the music, tours and shared memories, affirming that these moments will remain an integral part of the band’s legacy. The group also confirmed that they will continue forward and revealed that the new voice of Battle Beast will be officially announced on December 16, signaling the start of a new chapter for the band.
