Battlecross, along with Crimson Shadows and IKILLYA, will be trekking across all of North America come this July! Guitarist Hiran Deraniyagala seems pretty stoked about the whole ordeal.
"We're excited to announce our first headline run in quite a while. It's short but sweet, and this gives us time to write the new record this summer. We are stoked to have our Canadian brothers, Crimson Shadows joining us. We did a short run with those guys earlier this year and they're a great live band and have an awesome record coming out next fall."
Wait a second, new album? Looks like we need to ask guitarist Tony Asta what's up with that!
"The past year has been very inspiring for the band and our attitude towards the writing process this time around is more confident and driven. I expect our next album to kick you in the ass harder than the last. Album #3 will be a serious contender in 2015 and a defining Battlecross record."
Well there you have it folks- a tour and the plans for a new record! War of Will was an unbelievably good record with riffs galore and pissed-off vocals for days, so whatever these guys are cooking up next I'm sure will be sick! Truly the metal gods are smiling upon us today. Anyway, here's the tour dates for the touring!
