Hmmm, it seems that managers did their wondercraft once again.

I guess Alex Krull's Beard isn't a sexy band name so they kept leave's Eyes without Liv smh.

Didn't know Sonata Arctica had a new album, will certainly give that a spin

From metal archives;
Leaves' Eyes first album was out in 2004 and Liv Kristine joined the band on 2013. So technically, it's not "her" band.

On the other hand, their side of the story was that she wanted to leave and discussed it with the band, and then when the band officially announced it she turned around and pretended like she was shocked and totally unaware that she was getting 'kicked out'.

Really? I had no clue, as I'm not such a big fan of the band.
Whatever side of the story applies, Kristine's departure is so critical in terms of line-up changes, that band needs to change its name.
