Battlecross

Battlecross have knocked off yet another legendary thrash act. In their third consecutive Death Match, the American metallers were able to defeat Sepultura by a very respectable margin. Battlecross only need one more win to enter the Death Match Hall of Fame, so since the current Sepultura lineup wasn't able to claim victory, we're gonna inject some Cavalera into this match.

Battlecross have already carved themselves an impressive trail since debuting in our Death Match arena two weeks ago. After dispatching of Skeletonwitch with 'Force Fed Lies,' Battlecross claimed an even more impressive win in their latest battle against Testament. To keep the competition constant, we've got yet another massive challenge for the Michigan thrash / death metal band.

In a very close battle between two of modern thrash's most prominent acts, Battlecross were able to defeat their contemporaries in Skeletonwitch. This marks one win for Battlecross in our Death Match arena, but the men from Michigan have a very difficult task ahead of them.

With their fourth consecutive win in our series of Death Matches, Incantation were able to defeat Suffocation to gain entry into the Death Match Hall of Fame. Congrats to the brutal band as their track 'Invoked Infinity' has been declared immortal! Although we won't be hearing from Incantation in this Death Match, we've got two new acts ready for battle.

Thrash band Battlecross are one of the most hardworking, tour-happy bands out there today. Fresh off Mayhem Festival and GWAR B-Q the band is touring in support of their latest disc ‘War of Will’ with Hatebreed, Shadows Fall and the Acacia Strain. In mid-October they will be on the road with Death Angel, 3 Inches of Blood and Revocation.

Death Angel will release their first disc in three years when they unveil ‘The Dream Calls for Blood’ on Oct. 11. Coinciding with the release, the band is plotting a monster tour in support of the album, taking their new music out on the road with some awesome bands.

Metal acts Huntress and Battlecross grace the Jagermeister stage of this year’s Mayhem Festival but earlier in the week the two bands made their way to Brooklyn's Saint Vitus club for an intimate gig.

Connecticut got rocked this past weekend as one of the summer’s biggest metal tours made a stop in Hartford. Fans kicked up some serious dirt while moshing outside in the lot of the Comcast Theater and rocking to the numerous band that graced the Jagermeister Stage.

The melodic death/thrash hounds in Michigan’s Battlecross have just released the video for ‘Never Coming Back’ off of their upcoming album ‘War of Will.’ Rather than going the route of the abandoned warehouse that many an extreme band have used as a backdrop, Battlecross stripped everything down and jam out in nothing but white walls and a floor.

Located on a field adjacent to the main amphitheater, the Jägermeister Stage at Mayhem Festival's 2013 kickoff in San Bernardino, Calif., featured a mix of established acts like Machine Head and Job for a Cowboy along with up-and-comers like Butcher Babies, Battlecross and Huntress.
