Our Take
Our Take
BATTALIONS' latest offering, "Forever Marching Backwards," is a cacophony of chaos and charm that will leave you both bewildered and beguiled. This Yorkshire-based band has never been one to shy away from pushing sonic boundaries, and this album is no exception.
From the moment the distorted guitars kick in on the opening track, "Wallowing in Filth," it's clear that BATTALIONS are not here to play it safe. With a relentless energy that never lets up, they take listeners on a wild ride through a landscape of punk, sludge, and doom that is as exhilarating as it is exhausting.
Lead singer Phil Wilkinson's gravelly vocals are a perfect match for the thunderous rhythm section of drummer Matt Dennett and bassist Simon Cox, creating a wall of sound that is both crushing and captivating. Tracks like "The Crawl" and "Devil's Footsteps" showcase the band's ability to blend melody with sheer brutality, leaving you simultaneously headbanging and humming along.
Despite the album's dark and heavy subject matter, there is a sense of joyous abandon that permeates every track. Whether it's the infectious gang vocals on "Vaseline (G)Love" or the anthemic chorus of "Adversity," BATTALIONS manage to find beauty in the chaos.
"Forever Marching Backwards" is a triumph of a record that solidifies BATTALIONS' status as one of the most exciting bands in the UK underground scene. With its blend of raw energy, infectious hooks, and irreverent attitude, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking to inject some life into their music collection.

About the artist
Battalions
Hailing from the industrial depths of Kingston upon Hull, BATTALIONS are a force to be reckoned with in the UK metal scene. This quartet, consisting of Phil Wilkinson on vocals, Matt Dennett on guitar, Matt Walker on bass, and Pete Cross on drums, have been delivering bone-crushing riffs and thunderous beats since their formation in 2010. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Crowbar and Eyehategod, BATTALIONS' sound is a sonic assault on the senses, combining sludgy guitar tones with punishingly heavy basslines and Wilkinson's guttural vocals. Their music is a raw and unapologetic blend of doom, stoner, and sludge metal that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who dares to listen. BATTALIONS' live performances are not to be missed, with the band known for their raucous energy and commanding stage presence. Whether they're playing to a packed venue or a small pub, BATTALIONS bring the same ferocity and intensity to every show, leaving audiences in awe of their sheer power. With multiple EPs and albums under their belt, including 2021's "Pyroclasm," BATTALIONS continue to push the boundaries of their genre and solidify their place in the pantheon of UK metal. If you're a fan of heavy, uncompromising music that packs a punch, BATTALIONS are the band for you. Just make sure to brace yourself for impact – this is a ride you won't soon forget.
