POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

BATTLEMASTER is finally able to play a record release gig for our album released mid-pandemic by @forcefieldrecords "GHASTLY, GRAVEN & GRIMOIRELESS" with our pals from Philly @spiter666 (members of DEVILMASTER & SHITFUCKER) and deathmetal heavy weights LEFT CROSS. It'll be nuts and the last copies of the record will be available there, so scuttle on over to @fuzzycactusrva "TO BE FULLY LAMBASTED ON 9.5.21!!!"

So excited to finally share what I've been working on for the past year and a half.

Perception is everything. Artists place their intentions onto paper and create life. Life is suffering, as such life revolts. Freak Buck has constructed a prison, a zoo for your protection and amusement. Are you looking through a window or into a mirror? Perception is everything.

Newly translated work from:

Marti (RAW Magazine, The Cabbie)

Igor Hofbauer (Mister Morgen)

Abraham Diaz (Kramers Ergot, !Joc Doc!)

Gunnar Lundkvist (Klasskat, Vertige)
