BATTLEFIELDS is a progressive experimental/post-metal band born in Minnesota. After the release of their 2009 full-length, Thresholds Of Imbalance, BATTLEFIELDS lost founding guitarist Andrew Wallin, and went on a brief hiatus from playing shows. Agassiz is the band's return to the trenches with two new members and a more sonically assaulting blackened blend of metal and hardcore. Agassiz blasts through six songs in under a half-hour, presenting a concept EP of the glacial lake Agassiz, whose dried up geographic location is where the band's base of operations lies.
