CURRENT LINE-UP: Felipe Vuletich Bass Francisco Vera Drums Fox-Lin Torres Vocals Nicolás Arce Guitars Alejandro Oliva Guitars BIOGRAPHY BATTLERAGE is a true heavy metal band from Santiago, Chile, born in 2002 from a personal project of the ex-STEELRAGE drummer, Francisco Vera, who wanted to play some tough and loud heavy metal.

A few months after the release of "Metal Slaughter", Alejandro Oliva (guitar, ex-member of AKRAMEN) joined BATTLERAGE and in December the same year recorded with the band their second demo "Return Of The Axeman". 2004 was a roller-coaster of good moments and line-up changes. The band signed a record deal with Highland Records/Octagon Music Group, but unfortunately Mauricio Cavalla had to leave BATTLERAGE due to personal reasons. Cavalla was replaced by Nicolas Arce before the recording of the debut full-length, "Steel Supremacy", that was released in November 2004. This album, like the demo, got a great reception among the Chilean public. Not much later after this, another band member left: Alejandro O
