Nothing is stacked crooked about Battlefields brand of doom metal infused hardcore. With circular, tightly bound percussion accentuated by opaque, razor sharp riffage, Battlefields have crafted a mature, well-balanced blend of Sabbath drones and mammoth breakdowns with stirringly abrasive screams. Primarily inspired by epistemology, Battlefields compose rich, archaic themes of natural catastrophe, omitted human history, and geographical landscapes, condensed into crushing, layered brutality. Clocking in slightly over 30 minutes, Stained With The Blood Of An Empire, is a molotov cocktail of dynamic, dissonant hardcore and sobering, Neurot style doom like a sparse Isis, or a more acute, barb-wired Red Sparowes.
