BATTLECROSS Announces Dates With Killswitch Engage And Trivium; Tour With Protest The Hero To Commence This Saturday In Buffalo

Detroit metal squad, BATTLECROSS, who just returned home from a successful debut stomp through Europe with Killswitch Engage, Trivium, and Miss May I, will return to the stage this weekend on a US tour featuring Protest The Hero, The Safety Fire, Intervals, and Night Verses. Set to embark tomorrow in Buffalo, the tour will wind its way through nearly three dozen cities, wrapping up in Amityville on April 6th. From there the band will level Worcester, Massachusetts at the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival before joining Killswitch Engage and Trivium for another short run of live takeovers

Comments the band: “We just had an amazing run with Killswitch Engage and Trivium in Europe and we’re stoked to be with them yet again in the US! We’re going to have a blast with our fans and hopefully make some new ones!”

BATTLECROSS will be touring in support of latest album, War Of Will, which debuted at #134 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, #118 on the Top Current Albums chart, #2 on the Heatseeker chart, #15 on the Current Hard Music chart, #16 on the Hard Music Overall chart, and #32 on the Independent Albums chart. Additionally, the album debuted in Canada’s Soundscan charts coming in at #178 Top 200 Current and #25 Hard Music Charts while also landing on the iTunes charts for release date at #103 Top 200, #10 on Rock, and #2 on Metal! This marks the band’s first ever Billboard chart debut. War Of Will also peaked at #3 on the US iTunes metal chart on the day of release.
