On August 21st, Battlecross released their stunning third album, Rise to Power. It’s truly a modern heavy metal thrasher and well worth your time to check out. Truth be told, Battlecross has what it takes to become a major player in the metal scene, and this album proves it.
Go ahead and order your copy of Rise to Power here.
The album can also be streamed via Apple Music and Spotify.
Rise to Power was produced by Jason Suecof, and mixed/mastered by Mark Lewis at Audiohammer Studios. The cover art was completed by Hungarian artist Péter Sallai (Sabaton, Sacred Steel).
From now until August 24th, Battlecross will play a handful of CD release shows, before they join up with GWAR and Butcher Babies for a North American tour kicking off August 25th in Millvale, Pennsylvania, and wraps up September 18th in Rochester, New York. Following a short break, Battlecross will rejoin GWAR on the road alongside Born of Osiris (Cryptopsy in Canada) starting October 7th in Cincinnatti, Ohio, and wrapping up November 28th in Orlando, Florida.
