Battlecross is a high-octane heavy metal band hailing from Canton, Michigan, formed in 2003. Known for their aggressive, thrash-inspired sound, razor-sharp riffs, and unrelenting energy, the band quickly built a reputation for their formidable live performances and unwavering dedication to their craft. Over the years, they've cultivated a loyal following with their blend of technical proficiency and hardcore intensity, contributing to the resurgence of American heavy metal.

The band's discography showcases a commitment to both musical aggression and craftsmanship. "Pursuit of Honor," released in 2011, set the stage for their growing popularity, mastering the intricate balance of melodic solos and relentless riffing. In 2013, "War of Will" pushed their capabilities further, delivering anthemic hooks and a ferocious sound that solidified their place in the metal community. "Rise to Power," their 2015 release, continued this trajectory, earning acclaim for its sophisticated compositions and punishingly heavy tracks. With singles like "Not Your Slave" and their ferocious cover of Slayer's "War Ensemble," Battlecross proves that they are a formidable force in the modern metal scene, equally capable of honoring their roots and forging new paths with their distinctive sonic assault.
