Detroit thrashers BATTLECROSS has announced that SIX FEET UNDER drummer Kevin Talley will be stepping in to play for the band on their two upcoming live performances, the New England Metal & Hardcore Fest (April 19) and the Orion Music & More Festival (June 8/9). Drummer Mike Kreger has parted ways with the band to focus on some new opportunities and attend to personal business.

Talley, who has also manned the throne for bands DAATH, CHIMAIRA, MISERY INDEX, NOTHNEGAL and DYING FETUS said. “I’m stoked to play these shows with such an energetic and impressive band like Battlecross. I had a chance to see them play on Trespass America and at the Scion A/V Metal Blade Anniversary Show and was blown away! New England Metal Fest and Orion Music + More are huge opportunities for the band and I’m honored to fill in behind the kit, they are definitely one of my favorite new bands!”
