BATTLE BEAST Part Ways With Main Songwriter/Guitarist Anton Kabanen

After the recent European tour and before the upcoming shows in Finland this March, Battle Beast is about to undergo a crew change. Due to insurmountable disagreements, one the founding members and author of all the songs, lead guitarist Anton Kabanen is forced to leave the band. A substitute guitarist has been engaged for the upcoming shows. Anton Kabanen is going to continue making music and working on new projects. Battle Beast is already preparing new material for the upcoming fourth album.

Battle Beast’s latest album, Unholy Savior, recently cracked the #1 position in their native Finland.

Commented Anton Kabanen: “After the extremely painful birth of Unholy Savior, to be rewarded with the first place on the official charts in our home country feels unbelievable, since at some point I wasn’t even sure will this album ever see the light of day. A thousand thanks to our fans and everybody who believed in Battle Beast!”
