  • Biffy Clyro’s James Johnston To Take A Break From The Band To Address Mental Health And Addiction Issues

    Biffy Clyro’s James Johnston has revealed that he will be taking a break from the band. The bassist made the decision to deal with his mental health and addiction issues.

    Johnston said the following:

    “To everyone,

    I am heartbroken to let you know that will I not be joining the band on the upcoming tours. For some time, I have been living with mental health problems which have led to addiction issues that I have kept concealed for a long time. This has caused significant problems for myself and everyone around me – the time has come to properly address my illnesses and deal with them.

    I am extremely sorry to Simon & Ben and thank them for their continued love, patience, support and understanding throughout this time.

    I have recently started to receive the professional help I need and would like to reassure you all that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    To all our fans, your support means so much to me and in the meantime, our dear friend Naomi Macleod will be taking care of bass duties, and I cannot think of a better person for the job.

    With love,

    James x”

  • Battle Beast Part Ways With Vocalist Noora Louhimo

    Battle Beast have parted ways with Noora Louhimo. The singer is exiting the group “to focus on her solo career.”

    Battle Beast commented:

    “After six albums and 13 incredible years together, we announce that Noora Louhimo is leaving Battle Beast to focus on her solo career. While we are saddened by her departure, we fully support her decision to pursue new creative paths—something she hasn’t been able to explore wholeheartedly with the demanding schedule of Battle Beast.”

    Louhimo continued:

    “For 13 years I got to grow, learn, develop and explore with Battle Beast who I am as a musician and as a person. And now my heart desires more adventures, and flying with my own wings towards my dreams that I can only pursue if I give them my full attention. Life is full of different eras and now it is time for a new one. I am forever grateful and love Battle Beast and our fans. This is not the end, this is a beginning of a new adventure for both of us. See you soon Little Beasts!”

    The group also added:

    “We are deeply thankful for the music, the tours, and the magic we created together. These memories will never be tarnished nor forgotten, and we wish Noora nothing but success and happiness on her path forward.

    We know you—our fans—will miss Noora as much as we do. But rest assured: the flight of Battle Beast continues, and so does Noora’s, now simply on a different trajectory.

    A new era begins. We will announce the new voice of Battle Beast tomorrow on December 16th.

    With gratitude and love,
    Noora, Janne, Eero, Juuso, Joona & Pyry”

    During a recent interview with Consequence, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor confirmed that the band are working on new music. He said the following:

    “We are working on new stuff and we’re excited to work on it, and we are prioritizing working on Nine Inch Nails over just taking on every single thing that comes up in the other category. So, beyond that, I can’t say much, but the difference between now and a year ago is the fuse has been lit and the desire is there.”
