TO HELL WITH WAR! How many more will go to their graves? Our politicians treat them as slaves Dictators ruling from thrones Battles fought with expendable bones Since the dawn of war The rich have controlled the poor Innocent men die Never knowing why Send them in Watch them fall Count the cost Their fate deemed unavoidable The power drunk leader As evil as his foe Moves another chess piece Collects another soul The value of the dollar Outweighs that of all life When more must go needlessly It’s always worth the price Send them in Watch them fall Count the cost Their fate deemed unavoidable POWER The power drunk leader As evil as his foe Moves another chess piece Collects another soul The value of the dollar Outweighs that of all life When more must go needlessly It’s always worth the price Psychotic character With no empathy Calls the shots Hellbent on his cause The church will have his back For our God they’ll go Is the claim Corruption rules these halls Wars born By the men scorned Egos fed Thanks to the ones now dead Send them in Watch them fall Count the cost Their fate deemed unavoidable The power drunk leader As evil as his foe Moves another chess piece Collects another soul TO HELL WITH WARRRRR!

Mortar Fire 05:12
1456 The siege of Constantinople Where Mehmed the conqueror Unearths his terror machine Delivering Death From a distance No one escapes the blast Bunker buster In a cluster A weapon from the past Muzzle loaded Death device Targets the ground below Raining down Artillery Colossal hammer of war Built to murder Built to slaughter Built to bring chaos and scatter the flock Built to ruin Built to ravage Built to end battles – Abolish the lot Mortar Fire Bodies are draped over barbed wire Trenches begin to fill with blood Fallen are trampled in the mud Mortar Fire Corpses form a human pyre Exploding limbs fly through the air Troops are trembling with fear 1464 The Dardenelles gun is invented Bronze cast decimator Ottoman cannon of doom Delivering Death From a distance No one escapes the blast Bunker buster In a cluster A weapon from the past Muzzle loaded Death device Targets the ground below Raining down Artillery Colossal hammer of war Built to murder Built to slaughter Built to bring chaos and scatter the flock Built to ruin Built to ravage Built to end battles – Abolish the lot Mortar Fire Bodies are draped over barbed wire Trenches begin to fill with blood Fallen are trampled in the mud Mortar Fire Corpses form a human pyre Exploding limbs fly through the air Troops are trembling with fear Indirect fire Bringing casualty Everyday Hellish wounds caused Unpredictable Shrapnel spray No man is spared By this heinous device Cities turn to ash Crumbling enemy Boundaries More countries build These bazookas of Brutality Allies turn against one another Inexplicably Cratered earth Scarred from the Wrath of Mankind Mortar Fire Bodies are draped over barbed wire Trenches begin to fill with blood Fallen are trampled in the mud Mortar Fire Corpses form a human pyre Exploding limbs fly through the air Troops are trembling with fear

The Anzacs 04:22
When Britain declares war on them We Respond As do we! To defend the Old country To the Motherland we will pledge Our last Man Our everything Down to our final schilling Adventure appeals to them So they sign The dotted line Blind to the horror that awaits With NZ boys they’re on to ships And Sail to The Pyramids They’re anointed The Anzacs First Assignment Was To Tackle The Turks in Gallipoli Land In a cove In April 1915 With no idea of The immediate Danger that they’re in Through thorny scrub Up rocky heights Ambush begins Over The coming days Kilometres Of trenches made Sniper Fire And shelling Denying them From Advancing Bullets whistle past their ears now Withdraw our troops From the fields Exit from Gallipoli Many men not coming home Even more now lay in beds Wounded, Shattered Broken men The fit move on to fight once more In Palestine, deployed again The western front As well in France To defeat the German force During day and night they fought To preserve Our way of Life To these brave men we owe it all INVOKE THEIR SPIRIT! They went to war – To defend us They went to war – For our freedom They went to war – And gave their own lives They went to war – We will remember them! First Assignment Was To Tackle Turks in Gallipoli Land In a cove In April 1915 No idea of The immediate Danger they’re in Through thorny scrub Up rocky heights Ambush begins The Anzac spirit lives on in us

AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

about

Battlegrave's debut EP 'To Hell With War' was written and recorded between Feb and April of 2017 in Melbourne, Australia.

Battlegrave is the culmination of two close friends coming together to create an aggressive thrash sound based on our influences and the genre that we both grew up loving... Thrash...Riffs!

The EP follows a war theme and lyrically tackles subjects such as the rich and powerful that send soldiers to die, the invention of heinous machines that changed the way wars are fought, the battles of the mind that many soldiers endure once they return home and the story of the Anzacs that helped give Australian's the freedom we live with today.

We hope you dig it and can support us by buying a digital copy of the EP for a small price or being an absolute legend and buying a physical copy which we'll get shipped out to you ASAP.

(EP & Shirt bundles are also available)

'To Hell With War' is dedicated to all of the brave Men & Women that have risked or given their lives to defend our country.

WE WILL REMEMBER YOU

Cheers,

Clint & Rohan.
