BATTLESWORD were founded in spring 1999 by Andreas (drums), Björn (guitar) and Micha (guitar). They had been playing together in a local hardcore band named BLOODSTRING for several years. BLOODSTRING had played roundabout 60 gigs with more or less well known bands as for example KICKBACK, FURY OF FIVE, INTEGRITY OR CONGRESS.



They also had released two demo tapes and a split 7“ with FURNACE. At the beginning of 2001 BATTLESWORD was joined by Patrick (vocals). Dominik and Daniel helped us out with playing bass because we didn't manage to find a bass player. All the three of them had before played in a hardcore combo named BLEEDING and Dominik used to be play guitar in DRIFT. We finally seem to have found a bass player with a guy named Bauer who has been rehearsing with us since April 2003.
