Melbourne / Naarm metal-punks Reaper return to Aotearoa this coming winter, throwing down in Tāmaki Makaurau alongside some of our most sonically aggro acts at Battles In The North 4 — reincarnated after nearly two decades! Laying waste to the dungeon-like subterranean expanses of Double Whammy on 4th October, the monumental bill also includes Aussie brutal death specialists Crime Spree and a mega-heavy hitting crop of local hardcore / beatdown / extreme metal ambassadors, including Brawler, Standover, Malevolence, Cease and Desist, Grave Axis, and Heavy Step. The mayhem kicks off at 8pm sharp, here are the details...

"After a 19 year slumber, BATTLES IN THE NORTH returns to put some of Australia and New Zealand's best metal and hardcore bands in one room to fight it out! Featuring Brawler, Standover, Malevolence, Cease and Desist, Grave Axis and Heavy Step along with two of Melbourne's finest, REAPER and CRIME SPREE for one relentless night, back to back, on two stages!"
