Battlecross have a new studio album coming this July, and they’ve named it War of Will. That’s right, jerkface. Dropping July 9, the new album will be issued through Metal Blade. The first single from the record (which would imply a second is on the horizon) can be streamed at the end of this post. Read More
Battlecross are done with the recording of their sophomore album, and revealed today that the session drummer for the new music was none other than Shannon Lucas, formerly of Black Dahlia Murder. The album’s due out this summer during the band’s tour as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Lucas comments: “Being a Read More
And not just any drummer, mind you. They’ve replaced Mike Kreger with Kevin Talley, the drummer from Six Feet Under. Talley will man the kit for the band’s performances at the New England Metal & Hardcore on April 19 and the Orion Music + More festival in June. Kreger exited the band to focus on Read More
Fuck, man. I thought Battlecross were the type of band above this Indiegogo shit, but I guess I was wrong. Dead wrong.

In less than a week, we will finally learn how good or bad the lineup’s going to be for this summer’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. I’m impatient, though. And I follow WolverineKills, which has been claiming — either with informed insider information or the art of reasoned deduction — to have the fest’s lineup Read More
They might as well just release the entire lineup already. It’s not like the bill doesn’t already fucking rule. You think adding Terror’s going to get some kid to go, “Wait one hot fucking second!

It’s a question I have been asking myself for the better part of two weeks now and the answer seems to be a definite yes, so long as Randy Blythe’s case goes the way it should. According to a reader of ours with what are believed to be reliable sources, Rob Zombie is slated for Read More
