Detroit,
MI’s self-touted “blue collar thrashers” BATTLECROSS are
gearing up to lay waste to the states on this summer’s TRESPASS AMERICA
festival. The festival kicks off in one month on July 13, 2012 in Broomfield,
CO and features headliners Five Finger Death Punch, as well as
the reunited original line-up of Killswitch Engage. The TRESPASS
AMERICA Festival also features Trivium, Emmure, Pop
Evil, and God Forbid. The anticipation is building; get
your tickets now before they are sold out and log on towww.trespassamerica.com for
complete details!
Due to the
insane buzz around BATTLECROSS and their unique take on modern
thrash metal, the band has been added to this year’s HEAVY MTL festival in
Montreal, QC. To learn more about the festival and to read about this year’s
line-up, please visit. www.heavymtl.com/en/.
BATTLECROSS has come a long way since
their recent signing with Metal Blade Records and their release of their debut Pursuit
of Honor in August 2011. Since its release, the single ‘Push
Pull Destroy’ was the #1 Most Requested Metal Track for five weeks (Sirius XM
Liquid Metal Devil's Dozen), remains a stable on the Liquid Metal channel, and
the track's video has racked up over 700,000 YouTube views in
the last five months. BATTLECROSS has received killer
reviews across the internet and in print publications throughout North America
and overseas and was named “Band of the Month” in Metal Hammer Norway
and Metal Hammer Spain, so it should be no
surprise that this blue collar, hard-work ethic that comes from the band's five
musicians - Kyle "Gumby" Gunther/vocals, Tony Asta/guitar, Hiran
Deraniyagala/guitar, Mike Kreger/drums, Don Slater/bass - translates into a
potent force on record as well as on stage.
BATTLECROSS is
also confirmed to sail the seas with the first annual MAYHEM FESTIVAL Cruise
this December 7-10.
