Yesterday,
Detroit, MI’s BATTLECROSS finished their run with the TRESPASS
AMERICA festival, also featuring Five Finger Death Punch with
support fromKillswitch Engage, Trivium, Emmure, Pop
Evil, and God Forbid. Helping to cap such a defining
summer in the band’s already accelerating career, Sirius XM Liquid Metal will
premiere the band’s studio cover of the track “Hostile” (originally performed
by Pantera) on Friday, August 31st. Afterward, the track
will be available for purchase on iTunes. The band performed “Hostile” live at
several stops on the TRESPASS AMERICA festival (last night’s performance of the
song included a guest appearance by Five Finger Death Punch’s Chris
Kael).
“TRESPASS
AMERICA has been a blast. We can't believe it’s all over. It’s been a wake-up
call, a learning experience, and a privilege to be part of this kick ass
festival,” states guitarist Tony Asta. “We've made so many new friends along
the way and it’s very humbling to see so much support from all our fans. Thank
you all for making this dream a reality.”
Tony
continues, “We are very excited to release our cover of “Hostile” on Sirius XM
with Pantera being heavily influential to the band. Rest in
peace, Dime. Now crank it to eleven!”
