Our Take
Our Take
BATTALIONS' latest effort, "Forever Marching Backwards," is a sonic onslaught that hits like a pint of warm beer to the face. The Yorkshire-based band waste no time in delivering their signature blend of sludgy doom and punk-infused aggression.
The album kicks off with the blistering track "Empty Chest," which sets the tone for what's to come - raw, unapologetic noise that hits you like a double-decker bus. Lead vocalist Phil Wilkinson's gravelly growls cut through the thick wall of distortion, carrying a sense of urgency that'll have you moshing in no time.
Tracks like "Bitter Wind" and "Vaseline (G)love" showcase BATTALIONS' ability to seamlessly blend bone-crushing riffs with infectious hooks, creating a sound that's as catchy as it is crushing. The band's punk ethos shines through in every track, with lyrics that are equal parts witty and politically charged.
While "Forever Marching Backwards" may not reinvent the wheel, it's a raucous ride that'll leave you feeling exhilarated and slightly bruised. BATTALIONS have once again proven why they're a force to be reckoned with in the UK's underground music scene. So grab a warm beer, crank up the volume, and join the march - backwards, forwards, or sideways, it doesn't matter as long as you're moving to the beat of BATTALIONS.

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.
