Melodic Death veterans! Already since 1999 Battlesword have been holding up the banner of Melodic Death Metal and with their powerful and likeable live performance have gained a steadily growing following on international stages. In the year 2019, the 20th anniversary of the band, it's time to release their fifth output after one maxi, one EP and two albums. On And Death Cometh Upon Us the quintet proves that they can't be killed and that they're far from being old-fashioned. With their concentrated load of energy, experience and their meanwhile distinctive style between Melodic Death and Scandinavian Old School, Battlesword manage to leave a trail of devastation behind with their current longplayer and leave the listener with extensive neck pain. And Death Cometh Upon Us was recorded, mixed and mastered by Andr? Bodewein at Beefy Audio M?nchengladbach in April 2019. The artist Mark Erskine (Erskine Designs) is responsible for the cover artwork and gives the album a worthy optical frame for the band's anniversary.
