Detroit, MI’s Battlecross made a HUGE impact at Orion Music and More last on June 8th and 9th, with appearances at the event’s press conference with Metallica, and receiving praise from local and national press at the event. Now, less than a month away from the release of War of Will, BATTLECROSS have unveiled a brand new song. Fans can stream Flesh and Bone on-line now at metalsucks.net!
Additionally, the band has posted their second studio video with exclusive, candid footage from their recording sessions at Audio Hammer Studios. The band-filmed clips include guitar tacking, as well as an extended jam by virtuoso bassist, Don Slater. Watch clip #2 at metalblade.com/battlecross. At that page, fans can also stream„Force Fed Lies” and pre-order the album.
BATTLECROSS triumphantly return as one of the true champions of American Heavy Metal with their devastating sophomore release, War of Will. Co-produced at Audio Hammer Studios by famed producers Mark Lewis and Eyal Levi, the sophomore effort from Detroit’s newest soldiers of steel will soon prove as one of the most impressive follow-up releases, destined to become a heavy metal classic for fans of all sub-genres. „War of Will triggers a strange Déjà Vu while feeling completely brand new” says Levi.
After a fist-pumping debut, impressive breakout tours in 2012, BATTLECROSS will continue their climb as one of metal’s most impressive new bands with appearances at Orion Music +More with Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deftones and Suicidal Tendencies in the band’s hometown of Detroit and the 4th Annual Gwar-BQ with Municipal Waste and Corrosion of Conformity.
The European version of War Of Will will be released as a Digipak featuring the exclusive European bonustrack Fucking Hostile, a cover by the mighty PANTERA.
War of Will releases July 5th, 2013 just as the band heads out for the summer on the Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Tour with Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Machine Head, Mastodon and more. For tickets and details, head to rockstarmayhemfest.com.
