Første singel fra albumet er «No More Hollywood Endings«. Om den sier Janne Björkroth:

The song tells a story about living up to other people’s expectations and becoming a kind of a sidekick in one’s own life. Hollywood conventions and media set unrealistic expectations and narrow ideals about such things as beauty and happiness, and it’s easy to get lost while trying to fit the mould. The song claims that there isn’t a universal pattern for happiness, but everyone has a right to be respected as they are and live a life that suits for themselves. It’s a hymn to individuality.

I april legger Battle Beast ut på turneen No More Hollywood Endings European Tour med Arion. De kommer til Norge og Oslo 12. mai.
