The Batallion

Norwegian Blackened Thrash Metal Band

The Batallion was founded in Bergen , Norway in the summer of 2006. All members are well established metalhead musicians who have played in some of the most legendary bands from Norway, such as Old Funeral,Grimfist,Taake,Borknagar, ST. Satan, Deathcon, and Bombers. The reason for starting The Batallion was the pure hunger for the spirit of the old metal feel. They possess the guts,the rebellion and the authenticity it takes to perform this music. In December of 2006 they had 4 tracks completed and entered Conclave Studio in Bergen to record their debut EP. After concidering offers from a few labels,they decided to release it under their own label Masculin Records. It is pressed in 500 copies on CD and 500 copies on 7" vinyl format. This has already been concidered an instant classic in the Bergen metal scene. It also resulted in beeing booked at the Hole In The Sky Festival and Festung Open Air.
