BATTLE BEAST played their second Australian show tonight at Max Watts in Melbourne, with early reactions on social media and fan forums continuing to paint a glowing picture of Marina La Torraca's integration into the band.
Concertgoers described an energetic 90-minute set drawing from across the band's six-album catalogue. La Torraca's vocal range — wider than her predecessor's in the upper registers — has been cited as a particular strength, giving certain older tracks a new dimensionality.
The band plays their final Australian show tomorrow, March 14, at Manning Bar in Sydney before the tour concludes in Brisbane on March 15. European and North American dates with the new lineup are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
