Guitarist Hiran Deraniyagala comments: "Battlecross is so stoked to hit the UK with Killswitch Engage, Trivium and Miss May I as our first overseas tour ever and thank them for having us on this awesome tour. What an honor it is to share our first UK experience with these bands and we're ready to thrash with you, our new friends. Thank you all who have been waiting so patiently for Battlecross to come overseas, and we promise that it will be worth the wait.

Expect nothing less than swift hard kick in the arse from our live show and hope you like us enough to have us back very soon. Can't wait to rage and have a pint or four with our UK fans!"
