Batillus

Originally conceived in 2007 as an instrumental trio, Batillus' (pronounced 'buh-TILL-us') lineup expanded in 2009 to add vocals and synth. Since then, the band's lineup has been consistent and they have released a pair of EPs, three splits, and a full-length.

In May, 2010, Batillus recorded their debut full-length record in Chicago with engineer Sanford Parker (Yob, Rwake, Unearthly Trance, Nachtmystium, Pelican). The record, called 'Furnace,' was released in the spring of 2011 via Seventh Rule Recordings in North America and the UK and Vendetta Records in continental Europe.

In July of 2011, Brooklyn's Shinebox Recordings released a split seven-inch featuring Batillus and fellow Brooklynites Mutilation Rites and in May of 2012 Vendetta Records will release a 12" split featuring Batillus and Australia's Whitehorse.

The bandwill be recording material for their second full-length LP before 2012 is out, to be released in early 2013.
