BATTLEFIELDS

Battlefields biography
BATTLEFIELDS is a progressive experimental/post-metal band born in Minnesota, United States.

The music they play can best be categorized as post-metal, in the same vein as bands like NEUROSIS. The doom, atmospheric elements painted with a gray-dark musical palette and with slow, gloomy, heavily pesimistic rhythms are characteristical of their sound. The slow, pensive movements, leading to cataclysmic, exploding climaxes, build tension and make for a very emotional listening experience.

While the core of the music lies in the instrumental sections, BATTLEFIELDS also features vocals, both in high-and-low growling styles. The vocals only add to the sense of desolation that the music conveys.

BATTLEFIELDS line-up is formed by Rusty Steele in vocals, Andrew Wallin in guitar, Matt Ricigliano in guitar, Ryan Cofer in bass and Rob Schmidt in drums.

In 2006 they released their first full-length, "Stained with the Blood of an Empire". The album received great praise from the specialized press.

In 2007 they're scheduled to release a new EP called "Entourage of the Archaic".
