Author: HEAVY Magazine February 13, 2026 Duration: 18:33
Mighty Swedish Modern Melodic Metallers, BATTLE BEAST head here for the first time EVER in March and the first shows with NEW singer Marina La Torraca. And not only will the shows be their first Down Under, but the opening performance in Perth will also mark the debut show with La Torraca out the front!
Marina La Torraca is a Brazilian vocalist from São Paulo, best known as the powerhouse frontwoman of modern metal band Phantom Elite and as a member of the symphonic metal project Exit Eden. She began performing in her teens in local cover bands before moving into formal training, including studying musical theatre in New York.
Renowned for her versatile, commanding vocal range, Marina effortlessly transitions from dramatic, melodic passages to fierce, harsh screams. Alongside her career in metal, she has starred in professional musical theatre productions across German-speaking countries. Beyond the stage, she is also an accomplished graphic designer, vocal coach, producer, and songwriter.
Now, those talents are joining with Battle Beast to begin the next phase in the evoltion and growth of this great Swedish band. HEAVY sat down with founding member and bassist Eero Sipilä and Marina La Torraca to find out more.
