Battlecreek

Mit ihrem neuen Album „Maze of the Mind“ kombinieren die vier Thrasher von Battlecreek aus dem Raum München den unverkennbaren Sound des deutschen Thrash Metal mit den Wurzeln aus der Bay Area. Irgendwo zwischen Exodus, Warbringer, Gama Bomb und Kreator zeigt „Maze of the Mind“ eine unzähmbare Spielfreude in jedem einzelnen Ton. Angeführt von ihrem Shouter Berne wird der Spaß und die Energie der Band besonders bei ihren Liveshows deutlich, was sie in das Vorprogramm von Tankard, Sacred Reich und Testament gebracht hat. Battlecreek sind immer bereit, auf der nächsten Thrashparty mit euch zu eskalieren!Seit ihrer Gründung haben sich die vier Bayern in der nationalen Metalszene auf diese Weise einen Namen gemacht, weshalb sie auch im Dokumentarfilm Total Thrash(2022) verewigt wurden. Nach dem Debüt Wake the Plague (LP,2011) und Hate Injection (LP,2016) gehen Battlecreek 2024 mit ihrem dritten Longplayer Maze of the Mind an den Start – Come on, follow Battlecreek into the Maze
