Photos: BATTLECROSS

I was fortunate to get into the Battlecross show (w/ IKILLYA) at the 1904 Music Hall in Jacksonville, FL.  The venue was pretty dark but the audio system and sound was AMAZING.  It turned out to be a great show and Battlecross are some genuinely nice guys who really know how to play.  They will be on tour later this year with Machine Head and Children of Bodom.
