Product Description
Batter rose as a thrash metal onslaught from the demise of Viking metal pioneers EINHERJER. Formed in 2004 by Gerhard storesund (drums), frode Glesnes (guitar) And aksel herloe (guitar). The line up was completed by ole moldessaether (bass) and siggy Olaisen (vocals), both brothers in arms from the underground act Headblock. With its members musical interests spreading from grindcore to symphonic metal, though alternative and black metal, the band members decided to focus on were it all had begun for them: with in your face thrash metal! Music stripped down to its most basic and brutal form. Battered has shattered all links to its members former associations, and are instead focusing on making innovative music fueled by aggression instead of leaning on the visual of corpse paint, chain mail, and lyrical connection to the occult battered lets the music speak for itself. Confident that the raw power, and the live expression of it, needs no further visual hor'deuvres. The band signed with Norwegian Tabu recordings shortly after the recording of their self-titled debut, and both parties look forward to getting the material out to you, on disc on stage and in your face where it belongs!.
