BATTLEFIELDS

CDEP "Entourage of the Archaic" Out Now! | INIT46

About Me

" Building, festering, slowly approaching the inevitable crescendo which will cause everything to come crashing down. Those more reserved moments aren’t so much a reprieve as an opportunity to brace yourself for the coming onslaught; pounding drums and riffs so heavy they could bring down a building are never very far behind"
-PunkNews.Org
"Like a more screamo Kayo Dot or proggier Red Sparowes, the Minnesota band segues between gnashing metal and layers of lo-fi atmosphere. With the addition of tasteful samples and puncturing screams"
-Decibel
Battlefields "Stained with the Blood of an Empire"
Album Featured in the "Best New Music" section, receiving 4 / 5 Stars
-PunkNews.Org
"With nods toward the stratified ambience of Red Sparowes and the hellacious mathiness of Converge, Minnesota's Battlefields straddles dreaminess and despair with equally vicious grace"
-The Onion
