The band was formed in febuary 2008 by Chris, Andreas and former rythm guitarist Dennis, shortly after the demise of their former band Abattoir.The first rehearsal demo was recorded in 2008 and pressed on tape in 15 copies given to friends.Shortly after, Dennis left the band and the band went on ice until the summer of 2009 when Jannick joined as both first and current bassplayer.in 2009 the demo "Born In a Beaker" was recorded and released by the band itself in 100 copies on tape, and was spread throughout the danish underground paving the way for the first gigs - the first being with Crematoria and Pagan Rites in april 2010, and the second in July at the Metal Magic Festival - accompanied by Atziluth on Live-guitar. Atziluth was soon replaced by Jeppe Campradt until the summer of 2011 where Jeppe became a permanent member of Battery.2011 saw the first release on DEADBANGERS PRODUCTIONS (also the last release as a 3-piece) entitled "NUKE" which was distributed and sold far beyond Denmark, and soon followed up by the EP "Mental Pollution", also on tape by/through DEADBANGERS PRODUCTIONS!2014 will see the release of the debut album "Armed with Rage" released on Italian Punishment18 Records - containing 11 tracks of Fierce Thrash Metal Violence!!
Album:
2nd Album From Danish Thrashers.Taking their influences even further, the Danish thrashers under the banner Battery have continued to bring out the bands’ absolute dedication to the old-school Bay-Area style of thrash which has been a part of the group’s history from the start. Being the last recorded output of long-time drummer Andreas Joen before leaving the band, the sophomore release was originally released November 25, 2016 on Punishment 18 Records.As was the case for the bands’ career, the vast majority of this one concerns the absolutely frenetic and enjoyable bursts of old-school flavored thrash metal. Like many of their compatriots, there’s a strong sense of the rhythms taking plenty of influence from the Bay-Area style here with the fiery, crunchy riff-work and that ever-familiar rumbling series of bass-lines that clang and rattle along with the music quite nicely. With these being the more vibrant and intense tracks, they capture that sense of frantic, engaging thrash-scene effectively with the tight, ripping rhythms being given that old-school sheen due to the crunchy riff-work while also allowing for the group to descend into more laid-back and mid-tempo gallops in order to offer some rather nice diversity which rounds this out nicely. That also does highlight the main issue in that the album is incredibly one-note and one-sided in its appreciation and devotion to the scene that it never once comes off all that original in terms of appearance and generally feel. This one manages to play that same general tactical approach in the old-school riffing and blistering leads which really makes for a rather familiar time that really overwhelms and lowers it somewhat. As well, the fact that it’s quite short due to the tight, frantic rhythms does lower this one somewhat as the intensity levels do bring it back down from what it could’ve been as they’re over before it really matters. However, it’s not nearly as big a detriment as the overall familiar attack.Although it does have a rather familiar approach and attack that does get hindered here somewhat, the overall infectious attitude and enthusiasm that’s featured here is quite able to overcome much of that in order to make for a solid and worthwhile if non-essential choice for revivalist thrash fanatics or less-discerning thrash fans.
