Cost: $2.00
I was under the mistaken impression Battlecross was straightforward retro thrash, which I would have greatly preferred. Instead, it's a melodeath foundation with metalcore, modern thrash, and groove influences added on top. The blatantly Slaughter of the Soul-influenced parts are alright and no better or worse than any other band in a similar melodeath style, but the vocals on the album come off as overly forced to me. Even considering sections that show potential, I would never pick this over a more modern sounding death/thrash release from say, The Haunted or Carnal Forge, even though I'm not the biggest fan of those types of bands.
