BATTLECRY, initially formed as TRAIN in the mid-1980s in Kortenberg, Belgium, emerged from the ashes of INTEGRATED MIND and OVERDOSE. Founding guitarist Jos Van Geit assembled a lineup that included Chris de Turck (guitar), Johan Reinaertz (drums), Wannes Susant (bass), and vocalist Chris Ketelaer. The band recorded a demo in 1984 and performed extensively throughout Flanders.
In early 1985, TRAIN adopted a heavier metal sound and rebranded as BATTLECRY, making their live debut on April 13, 1985. That summer, they recorded a six-song demo and showcased their talent at the Whiplash Magazine festival alongside acts like AXEL and LIVING DEATH. BATTLECRY gained significant recognition after their song "Excalibur" appeared on the U.S. compilation album Metal Massacre VI, which led to an influx of fan mail from countries like Brazil, the USA, and Italy. The band frequently featured in metal magazines and was often ranked among Belgium's top metal bands. As internal changes occurred, including Johan Susant's departure to CROSSFIRE, BATTLECRY gradually faded from the scene by the late 1980s. Jos Van Geit later contributed to the music industry as a producer and songwriter, nurturing new Belgian talent at JAM Studio. Limited edition of 100 copies on red vinyl, this release includes all of the band's studio recordings, remastered from the best audio sources. A 4-page bookletwith band biography, song lyrics and rare photos, plus a poster and an exclusive woven patch.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
