Finnish heavy metal titans BATTLE BEAST are set to storm Australia for the very first time, bringing their explosive live show and new era of firepower to fans across the country. To mark this long‑awaited debut, the band will be joined by a hand‑picked lineup of exceptional Australian bands, each bringing their own distinct energy and identity to the tour.
Leading the charge in Perth symphonic metal force DARKYRA, who released their acclaimed third album Life Force in 2025. Fronted by the commanding and emotionally charged vocals of Gina Agius, Darkyra’s sweeping orchestration and cinematic heaviness make them a natural fit to open for Battle Beast’s grand, melodic metal assault.
While Adelaide support comes from FALTER, the rising metal outfit led by Ngarrindjeri singer‑songwriter Thomas Readett. Known for fusing crushing riffs with raw, impassioned vocals, Falter deliver a sound that is both deeply personal and sonically punishing a powerful addition a sound built on intensity and conviction.
ANA join the lineup in Melbourne with their fierce brand of female‑fronted symphonic metal. Combining heavy, driving riffs with soaring, battle‑cry vocals, Ana channel a sense of drama and urgency that feels forged at the edge of oblivion. Their presence adds a dark, theatrical dimension to show.
Sydney will see CARMERIA bring their signature blend of gothic grandeur and symphonic metal, defined by dramatic orchestration, crushing guitar work and spellbinding vocal performances. Their immersive, atmospheric sound adds real depth and presence to the stage, creating the ideal lead‑in for Battle Beast’s set.
Rounding out the national supports are Brisbane’s KRAVE, an alt‑metal powerhouse known for thunderous riffs, commanding vocals, and an electrifying live presence that refuses to let up. Their high‑voltage energy ensures each night begins with impact and momentum.
Together, this lineup represents one of the most diverse and dynamic collections of heavy music talent assembled for an Australian tour in 2026. From symphonic majesty to alt‑metal ferocity, each act brings a unique voice to the stage — setting the scene for Battle Beast’s long‑awaited debut with incredible new vocalist Marina La Torraca.
