UMUR
"We Come to Fight" is an EP release by German thrash metal act Battlefield. The EP was released in 1987 through T.R.C. Records. "We Come to Fight" is the band´s debut release. While it wasn´t completely unheard of in 1987, it was still relatively unusual for a thrash metal act to feature a female lead vocalist (Holy Moses is another contemporary example of it), but that´s exactly what Battlefield have in their ranks.

Stylistically the music is powerful, fast-paced, and occasionally melodic thrash metal. Cornelia Ernst hits the balance between raw sounding thrash metal vocals and slightly more melodic moments right. It never becomes too mainstream, but there´s still a female touch to the procedings that you wouldn´t have gotten with a man behind the microphone. She is predominantly pretty raw sounding though. Battlefield are a well playing band (again they hit the balance right between unhinged rawness and more sophisticated moments) and the EP also features a well sounding production job, which is perfect for the material, so upon conclusion it´s actually a pretty impressive first release by Battlefield and they can be proud of this one. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is fully deserved.
