Battle Beast - Guitarist Anton Kabanen Out Of The Band


Having just released a new album called Unholy Savior, Battle Beast is facing a big line-up change. After long and heavy consideration, the band has decided to go separate ways with guitarist Anton Kabanen. This is due to musical disagreements and various other unsolvable issues within the band. Kabanen has stated he will be continuing making music with other projects. The band will not be giving interviews concerning the topic. Ouch! Meanwhile, a temporary guitarist has been engaged for the upcoming shows.

The band also stated: "On the upcoming tour dates the lead guitar duties will be handled by a temporary replacement. Any details considering permanent replacement for mr. Kabanen will be decided in the future. During the upcoming spring Battle Beast will tour as a headliner in Finland, Russia, Japan, Sweden and Germany. The band is already preparing new material for the upcoming fourth album. A sad day for everybody involved Battle Beast wishes Anton all the best in his future projects."

Anton Kabanen was one of the founding members, songwriter of all the songs and lead guitarist. It seems like he was forced to leave the group. Are you worried about the future of the band?

Wait, the guy who writes literally 100% of the band's music and lyrics gets the punt? Talk about career suicide. I'll miss his vocals, too. Hopefully he forms a new band soon.

Wow... It's like he was kicked out of his own band that he started. This doesn't look good at all. Hope he will start something new soon. I wonder how this band will sound without him, since he's the main songwriter..

Apparently he's the kind of guy who only really accepts his own vision of things. No wonder he got kicked out if you ask me, Battle Beast is a band of six and not a solo project.

But normally that sees everyone else leave. (Guns n Roses, anyone?). Would Nightwish fire Tuomas Holopainen?

No, I'm not worried about the future of this band.

Well, this does look like crappy publicity where main musician took an initiative to sit out and this load up the flashing news for all Battle Beast fans. You know, two releases in pipeline(one is been released and other been schedule to release soon) so they might take up this marketing tool.

I could be wrong as Anton must have genuinely walk out of the band due to musical disagreements(as stated above) but this would have happened earlier or near the release of new album.
