BATTLEFIELD - WE COME TO FIGHT
FEMALE FRONTED GERMAN THRASH.
German thrash metal band Battlefield debuted with this mini LP in 1987. We come to fight is quite obscure and-rare little LP, it can be quite hard to find this gem these days. Lucky me who bought it for 50 sek (5$). I don't know if this album ever was released on CD though.
Battlefield were one of those few thrash metal bands that had a female vocalist and it's nice to hear a woman that tries to sing and not just grunt like an extreme metal vocalist for once. Cornelia Ernst doesn't sound like Sabina Classen of Holy Moses for example, no this is more Doro if we're talking about German metal singers. Musicwise this is somewhere near Living Death, Destruction, Iron Angel or Rage without the extreme technicality. Speaking of technicality, the band would later develop into a more progressive metal direction but on this debut MLP it's thrash. Fans of Chicago thrashers Znowhite will surely enjoy Battlefield as well.
The song "Possessed Preacher" is what the Germans would call wonderbar, Vocalist Cornelia Ernst seems trustworthy when she repeats the word "Possessed".
I think We Come to Fight is a cool EP, I just wished there was more of it. As you can guess the album has been out of print for a very long time but if you manage to find it I can recommend that you pick it up
