BATTLECROSS, along with The Convalescence, The Breathing Process, WoR and Gnarcotix have announced a trio of shows around Halloween this year. Here are the confirmed dates:
10/29 Fort Wayne, IN – Rockstar Lounge
10/30 Toledo, OH – Main Street Bar & Grill
10/31 Chesterfield, MI – Diesel Concert Lounge
“The band was initially formed by guitarists Tony Asta and Hiran Deraniyagala, who recruited drummer Mike Kreger, singer Kyle “Gumby” Gunther, and bassist Don Slater. Battlecross made their debut in 2010 with the self-released Push Pull Destroy, though it would be re-recorded the following year after the band signed on with Metal Blade, which released the remade version, Pursuit of Honor, in 2011. A follow-up, War or Will, arrived in 2013, a year that also saw the departure of Kreger from the band. Drummer Kevin Talley filled in live shows culminating in the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour that summer. Adam Pierce of All Shall Perish took the drum chair for a fall tour with Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, and the Acacia Strain. After the jaunt concluded, Shannon Lucas replaced him through the winter, spring and into the following summer. He remained with Battlecross during two European tours (opening for Huntress) and another North American sojourn. Their popularity among metalheads soared. After Lucas left, drummer Alex Bent played with the band for the remainder of the summer and was behind the kit for their first show in Mexico City (opening for Black Label Society) and then a tour of South America.” – All Music
