gridloreIt's "Metal March" over at amazon.com. Along with a passle of metal and sort-of metal (UFO? Really) albums for $5, they had two free samplers of metal. One put together by Amazon, and one labeled NYC Sucks: Volume 1. Being a fool, I downloaded both. We listened. I tweeted the emotional scarring. Some of these tracks were seriously painful.
But there were at least a couple of spiky metal ponies among the piles of horse shit. Black leather ponies with shiny metal studs. This is one of them. Batillus is an extremely talented Doom Metal band hailing from Brooklyn. From what I can see on their website and at Metalunderground.com, they have a very active touring schedule and are releasing a new album, Furnace this April. Any East Coast metalheads who know more about these guys, please let me know. I find them intriguing.
But today I'll introduce you to Batillus and let you judge for yourself. Please enjoy the band performing Uncreator live at the Cake Shop in New York City on September 18, 2010.
I just want to know why they named themselves after a scrapped supertanker. Or am I missing something here?
