Cronies! Cohorts! Lend us your arms! 20th-anniversary longsleeved shirts available today for mailorder. S thru 3XL link in bio
These were made for our album release gigs but quickly sold out before they had a chance to leave Richmond, so we are now making them available on bandcamp Friday.
‘Natural’ (aka Ancient Scroll) colored Gildan Ultra Cotton long sleeves screen printed with a 6-color front, 2-color back, a 1-color on each sleeve

Our new LP is out today! The show tonight is completely sold out BUT we added a matinee tomorrow at Cobra Cabana since so many maniacs have been asking about tickets!
Tomorrow's show will be all ages and will run from 3 to 6pm, and we summoned amazing weather for this doubling down of jubilation since Sunday's gig will be outdoors!
You can stream Greedgripped everywhere starting today, and you can purchase in person Vinyl Conflict Record Store or online from them or us (link in bio)
The past 20 years have flown by, but after a mere 30 seconds of discussion, we've decided to continue BATTLEMASTER for 40 MORE years. After that, we will reexamine.
Thanks to ALL of you for the maniacal support over the years. Metal freaks are usually either dorks or nerds. If you like BATTLEMASTER, you are no wimpy dork. YOU are a powerful and wise nerd. The type that doesn't follow trends, explores and enjoys your passion for underground music, and the type which LIFTS UP your fellow heavy metal allies rather than tearing down each other. As the ranks of extreme metal legions march onward, we are honored you've chosen to include BATTLEMASTER in your varied arsenal of music to enjoy. HONORED!!
We really appreciate you all so very much and can't wait to get out there to more parts of the world so we can play these songs and destroy ourselves with each and every one of you!!!

Another exotic morsel is now up from the tasty new album. 'The Gourmand's Appetite' is streaming now on Bandcamp AND preorders for the new record are now available there as well. You can reserve your copy of the LP (courtesy of Vinyl Conflict Record Store ) or the limited CD digipak, link for both in bio.
The entire tome of "Greedgripped & Spellspoilt" will be chromatically spraying all over the place (Spotify etc) on Saturday, so you'd better get the towel.
Tickets for the record release this weekend in Richmond are limited, so hit the link in our story to sn**ch some up ahead of time. We'll be joined by INTER ARMA with a brief reunion of Infernal Stronghold and the debut of NWOBHM-worshippers HEAVY PENALTY

Greedgripped & Spellspoilt, by Battlemaster 11 track album

Our first single off of the upcoming album, "Greedgripped & Spellspoilt" is NOW available to stream for free. Give 'Elite Spectral Attache' a listen on Spotify or via our Bandcamp page.

Here's a slick shot Dan Wagner caught of one of us casually marauding at twilight with our infernal mancatcher.

We summon fellow true freaks BAAZLVAAT (from Flint - Pagan Altar meets Wigrid), GLORIOUS DESCENT (members of BOGSIDE SNIPER SQUADRON and DEVIL MASTER), and LE MORTE to fully ensorcell Cobra Cobana this Friday. Bring your most savage gear and some coin for imbibing potions; this will be a meatgrinder and you'll be taught a lesson in misanthropology you won't soon forget.
